A recent transaction by an is currently threatening XRP’s price recovery. This particular address is known to have moved all their XRP holdings worth millions of dollars, a move that the fears could cause in the token’s price.
Whale Moves Over 443 Million XRP
Data from blockchain tracker Whale Alert shows that an unknown address linked to crypto Bitvavo sent 443,112,410 XRP to another unknown address that is linked to Bitvavo. Interestingly, from the XRP Scan shows that the receiving address was just activated prior to when the transaction occurred.
While the reason for this recent transaction remains unclear, such moves are always known to stir the crypto community as they raise speculations of a sell-off or an impending one. Dumping XRP tokens of such magnitude will no doubt have an impact on XRP’s price and could cause the token to decline further.
Whale transactions involving XRP seem to have become a common trend, with Bitcoinist and NewsBTC on several occasions how a significant amount of the token has been moved from one address to another. Last week, over 63 million XRP tokens were moved in two different transactions between crypto exchanges and unknown wallets.
Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that the address that received the 443 million XRP is yet to make any move, as shows that there haven’t been any outflows or inflows since then. That should calm fears about any impending selloff, as the move might have been made as a security measure to secure the funds.
