According to the data unveiled by Whale Alert, a platform streamlining on-chain metrics, two significant whale transactions orbiting XRP took place amid the token’s price drop recently. Intriguingly, both transactions were carried out by the same wallet address, r4wf7enWPx…5XgwHh4Rzn.

The first transfer showcased the shifting of 26.2 million XRP, worth $15.21 million, to Bitstamp, a Luxembourg City-based CEX. Meanwhile, the second transaction illustrated the moving of 21.3 million XRP, worth 12.36 million, to Bitso, a Mexico City-based CEX.

What’s even more interesting is that the same wallet address was registered, making similar colossal transfers to the same CEXs previously. These recurring transfers appear to come as a result of Ripple’s strategic stake acquisition in the CEXs mentioned above.
