Nearly 3Bln XRP Moved: What’s Happening?

According to the insights revealed by the tracker Whale Alert, a series of transactions took place in the past 24 hours, resulting in the reshuffling of 2.93 billion XRP. This colossal move encompassed escrow locks, unlocks, and whale movements.

As per the data, 1 billion XRP, worth $476 million, was unlocked via escrow at two unknown wallets. These addresses were recorded to be rw2hzLZgiQ and rDqGA2Gfve.
Also, 800 million XRP, worth $382 million, was locked in escrow at Ripple.

On the other hand, whale transfers from unknown wallets to Ripple were recorded.

Notably, 1.1 billion XRP was transferred to Ripple, equal to the amount unlocked from escrow. Among these transfers, 500 million coins were shifted by the abovementioned address, rw2hz, whereas 500 million coins were moved by the address rDq. Simultaneously, another unknown address moved 100 million coins to Ripple.

Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that the renowned XRP whale Rzn did not miss dumping today, shifting 30.76 million XRP, worth $14.64 million, to Bitstamp.

Subsequently, XRP price gained a significant upside momentum, garnering substantial investor interest. Earlier this year, pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan shared vital insights into these XRP releases, claiming it did not have significant downside pressure on the asset. For context, speculations about Ripple dumping XRP have raised severe investor concerns, although the XRP community denies it.
