XRP Price Jumps As Whale Moves 26 Mln XRP, Price To Hit $0.62 Soon?

XRP, a Ripple Labs-backed cryptocurrency, once again gains noteworthy traction within the broader crypto market as the token recorded a massive whale activity on Tuesday. The Whale transfer curated a cyclone of suppositions among crypto market enthusiasts as it came amid a price hop noted by the token.

Notably, the XRP whale was observed transferring the coins to a centralized exchange, Bitstamp.

Meanwhile, a well-known crypto analyst shared his views on XRP’s current market performance, stressing the token’s significant pump in the near future.

XRP Whale Transfer To Bitstamp

According to the data unveiled by Whale Alert, a platform streamlining on-chain metrics, an XRP whale dumped 26.2 Mln XRP to Bitstamp today, December 19. The amount of XRP transferred to Bitstamp is evaluated as $15.83 million as of writing.

Intriguingly, the transfer of tokens to a CEX hints toward an increase in the token’s circulation supply. However, despite the noteworthy transfer to Bitstamp, the Ripple-backed token is conversely recording an upward price trajectory. This demonstrates that the token is witnessing an upsurge in demand, further aligning with XRP’s jump in market cap and trading volume today.

Moreover, the transfer of XRP to Bitstamp by the same wallet address is emerging as an evergreen echo within the crypto space following Ripple’s strategic stake acquisition in the CEX. Intriguingly, as reported by CoinGape Media earlier, the above-mentioned wallet address was registered, making similar transfers to Bitstamp in recent days.
