The post XRP Whales Shift 430 Million Coins in 24 Hours: Is a Market Dump Ahead appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Ripple’s native token XRP is back in the spotlight as whales are making substantial transactions, moving nearly 430 million coins in just one day. This sudden surge in activity has sparked fears of a market dump, especially after Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen recently sold off a large amount of XRP. With the price still struggling below the $0.60 mark, many are wondering what this all means for XRP’s future.

Big Transfers by XRP Whales

According to data from Whale Alert, a popular tracking service, 431.08 million XRP coins were transferred between exchanges and unknown wallets within 24 hours. These transactions come shortly after Chris Larsen’s 20 million XRP dumps, leading to speculation about the market’s direction. 

Meanwhile, the transactions included an accumulation, a dump, and several transfers to unknown wallets.

Among the notable moves, an unknown address acquired 30 million XRP, worth approximately $17.68 million, from the Bybit exchange. Additionally, another well-known address sold 17.23 million XRP, valued at around $10.16 million, to Bitstamp.

Current XRP Price Performance

As of now, XRP is trading at around $0.59, showing some signs of stagnation. However, bulls are optimistic about breaking through the $0.60 resistance, which could spark further interest.

Coinglass data shows a 0.78% rise in XRP’s futures open interest, now at $749.55 million. Additionally, there was a 17.52% increase in derivatives volume, climbing to $857.62 million.
