Ripple Moves Millions of XRP Via Anon Wallets as Price Jumps 6% Weekly

In recent tweets, prominent crypto tracking bot Whale Alert, which follows large crypto transactions and then shares details with the community on Twitter (now rebranded as X), the bot showed two consecutive transfers of XRP made from anonymous wallets to crypto exchanges.

The transfers carried 28,500,000 XRP and 27,000,000 XRP, respectively, to the Bitso and Bitstamp crypto exchanges. In the meantime, XRP has demonstrated a weekly price surge by over 6%, according to CoinMarketCap.

Ripple wires 55.5 million XRP worth $30.5 million

Details of these transactions shared by Bithomp show that they were made by the same anonymous wallet linked to Ripple Labs, the fintech giant based in the city of San Francisco, U.S. It seems that the goal of sending a total of 55.5 million XRP to the aforementioned exchanges is not selling but rather supporting these platforms which collaborate with Ripple giant on its “Ripple Payments” project, which utilizes XRP on RippleNet. The aforementioned crypto transfers are worth $15,704,941 and $14,879,092.

“Ripple Payments,” until recently, was widely known to the crypto community as On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), but then Ripple decided to give it a new title with a total rebranding to make it more understandable to outsiders. By using its own servce for fast and low-cost cross-border payments, Ripple tries to improve the system of prefunded accounts used by conventional banks for transfers that can take days and also raise other challenges to participants.

Uphold’s trading structure allows customers to move value between fiat and crypto seamlessly, and also do it across various networks. At the end of the day, this is good both for customer service and fast payments delivery.

Since the launch of its payments platform, the company has processed more than $30 billion worth of transfers, with a record 20 million transactions made.
