Meanwhile, in the past few days, the Ripple-affiliated token has shown a moderate rise of over 8% before losing 5.16%.

Ripple and anon wallets transfer 96 million XRP

Data shared by popular tracking service Whale Alert shows that in the past 16 hours, three “heavy” XRP transactions were conducted by Ripple, Bitstamp exchange and an anonymous wallet.

In this short series of crypto transfers, the Ripple giant moved almost half of the wired XRP amount—50 million tokens. This is the equivalent of $39,317,676.

Bitstamp shifted 25,572,560 XRP, which constitutes $19,630,320. The third portion of XRP was wired from an anonymous wallet to Bitstamp.

However, analytics from the Bithomp platform, which is focused on XRP and transactions related to it, showed that what Whale Alert tagged as an “unknown wallet” is in fact U.S.-based Bittrex exchange.

The same source of XRP-related analytics shows that the 25.5 million XRP went not to an anon address but to the BitGo crypto custody platform that was bought by Galaxy Digital last year.

The overall sum of XRP described above equals $73,865,231 in fiat
