Whales Transfer 85M Coins ‘to-and-fro’ CEXs
According to data from Whale Alert, 85.26 million XRP has been collectively shuffled between wallets and exchanges in the past 24 hours. These whale transactions include accumulations & dumps in hand.
Data illustrates that 30.82 million XRP, worth 14.87 million, was shifted to Bitstamp by a renowned XRP whale,…Rzn. Subsequently, two other well-known XRP whales bagged 28.21 and 26.23 million tokens, respectively.
It’s worth mentioning that CoinGape Media previously spotlighted the abovementioned whales accumulating XRP as hoarding colossal amounts of the asset in recent days. This adds an optimistic tint to the token’s future price endeavors, underscoring whales’ confidence in the asset.
However, battling buying and selling pressure simultaneously, as with the abovementioned transactions, XRP faces heightened turbulency. Although this slump aligns with the broader crypto market trend, speculations over the implication of whale transfers on the asset also persist.
