Ripple’s native crypto, XRP is once again in the spotlight, grappling with intense market volatility. Notably, the token is facing challenges to maintain its position above the $0.5 price level.

Whale Dumps 30M Coins To Bitstamp: What’s The Scoop?
According to Whale Alert’s data, 30.32 million XRP, worth $15.07 million, was offloaded to Bitstamp, a Luxembourg City-based crypto exchange, today, June 10. The renowned XRP whale, Rzn, made this transaction.
Notably, the transfer of coins to Bitstamp increases the token’s market supply, thereby staging as a bearish factor for the asset. Aligning with this, XRP has struggled to break above the crucial support of the $0.5 despite a price jump in the past 24 hours.
The whale, Rzn, has been making repeated massive selloffs to Bitstamp, a phenomenon that CoinGape Media previously reported. This recurring pattern has sparked speculations about a possible link between the wallet and Ripple, particularly after Ripple’s stake acquisition in the CEX.
