A massive transfer of 100 million XRP, valued at approximately $53.48 million, was noted on the blockchain. This transaction has drawn attention due to the anonymity of the involved addresses and its timing during ongoing market volatility.
Although the sender and receiver’s identities are unknown, there’s speculation that they might be linked to Ripple, a blockchain payments company in San Francisco. The analysis shows that this is only the second transaction for the receiving address, and both transactions came from the same sender. The initial connections to Ripple from a small receipt of 12 XRP, suggest a possible albeit unconfirmed relationship.
David Schwartz affirmed in a meeting that Ripple’s CTO supports the company’s principle of transparency. They disclose financial dealings each quarter, reflecting in public records.
Apart from this transaction, Ripple has been actively managing large amounts of XRP, including a transfer of 100 million early this month. These movements are closely watched by the crypto community, given their potential impact on the market and investor sentiment.
