- XRP price trajectory hinges on legal developments as Ripple's defense strategy unfolds.
- Market debates over the potential effects of significant XRP transfers amid an ongoing lawsuit.
Amid escalating speculation surrounding the Ripple and SEC lawsuit, the XRP market witnesses significant activity as whales make notable moves. Notably, the movement of 129 million XRP by prominent holders has captured the attention of market participants, raising questions about potential implications for Ripple’s legal battle.
So, let’s take a closer look at the recent whale activities and their significance amid the ongoing legal proceedings.
Whale Transactions Amid Lawsuit Speculation
As speculations swirl around the outcome of the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit, notable whale activity in the XRP market adds another layer of intrigue. According to on-chain data from Whale Alert, an unknown whale with wallet address “r4wf7….h4Rzn” transferred 28.8 million XRP to the Bitstamp exchange, sparking debate among observers.
While some interpret this move as a selloff strategy, others speculate it could be part of Ripple’s liquidity management efforts, given its previous stake acquisition in Bitstamp.
For context, Bitstamp’s collaboration with Ripple on XRP-based cross-border payments, formerly known as ODL (On-Demand Liquidity), further complicates the interpretation of the whale transaction. Ripple often makes these transactions to the crypto exchange to facilitate seamless fund transfers globally using XRP, without the need for pre-funded accounts.
This strategic partnership underscores the intricate dynamics at play within the Ripple ecosystem and its impact on market sentiment.
On the other hand, another significant transfer of 100 million XRP has added to the ongoing discussions in the XRP community. According to Whale Alert, 100 million XRP has been transferred by an unknown wallet to another unknown wallet which has sparked speculations especially ahead of the Ripple Vs. SEC lawsuit.

XRP Price As Ripple Vs. SEC Enters Pivotal Phase
Against the backdrop of heightened market activity, the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit enters a crucial phase, punctuated by key legal developments. As Ripple Labs’ defense team prepares to file its opposition brief in response to the SEC’s remedies-related brief, anticipation mounts regarding the lawsuit’s trajectory.
Notably, the SEC’s request for final judgment and substantial penalties further intensifies scrutiny of Ripple’s legal strategy and potential outcomes.
However, today marks a pivotal moment in the legal proceedings, as Ripple is expected to submit a sealed response to the SEC’s allegations, with a redacted version expected to be made public in the coming days. The outcome of this latest filing, coupled with ongoing courtroom deliberations, will likely shape market sentiment and influence XRP’s price trajectory in the days ahead.
Meanwhile, the XRP price was up 1.59% to $0.5374 as of writing, while its trading volume fell 4.16% to $1.06 billion. Simultaneously, the crypto has added nearly 5% over the last seven days, while noting a monthly loss of over 15%.
