Ripple Chairman Chris Larsen Moves 20 Million XRP to Unknown Wallet Amid Price Surge
In a significant blockchain event today, Chris Larsen, the
chairman of Ripple, transferred a hefty 20 million XRP to an
unidentified wallet. The transaction, recorded by Whale Alert at 1:04 UTC, came as XRP hit an important price milestone. The
move, which involved assets valued at approximately $60.54
million, occurred when XRP’s price reached $3.027, marking a
substantial achievement for the cryptocurrency.
$XRP The mysterious transfer has sparked intense speculation within the XRP community. Some members believe the transaction
could be linked to developments in the ongoing Ripple vs. SEC
case, especially given the recent legal developments. However, with the SEC filing its appeal brief, any conclusive connection to the lawsuit remains uncertain. What is clear, though, is the
ongoing strength of XRP as it sustains its position above the
$3 mark.
Shortly after receiving the 20 million XRP, the destination wallet, rPS…u98, moved 10 million tokens to another unknown
address, rnQ…woi. As of now, rPS…u98 holds the remaining
10 million XRP, while rnQ…woi has sent 4 million tokens to
Coinbase for possible liquidation. This transaction flow reflects
the movement of XRP within the market, with the majority of
the tokens staying secure in these addresses.
With these large transactions and XRP’s recent price
performance, it’s clear that whale activity continues to play a
pivotal role in shaping market sentiment and price fluctuations. As the story unfolds, the XRP community is closely monitoring
further developments, particularly in relation to Ripple’s legal
situation and the continued rise in XRP’s value.
