Record 512 Million XRP Shifted by Ripple and Unknown Wallets: Report
Whale Alert crypto tracking bot has detected three XRP transactions, carrying a total of 512.1 million XRP. They were conducted by Ripple fintech behemoth and wallets which Whale Alert tagged as “unknown”.
Record amounts of XRP on the move
In the last twenty hours, three staggering chunks of XRP have been transferred, according to the tweets posted by the crypto tracker mentioned above.
Ripple giant moved 50 million XRP – the smallest lump of these three – to its reserve wallet RL18-VN often used for transferring crypto beyond the company – to charities, exchanges, and financial institutions.
The other two chunks of Ripple-affiliated tokens contained 226,439,980 and 235,725,280 XRP worth $163,244,540 and $170,121,600. The total equivalent of the shifted XRP amount comprises roughly $370 million.
Whale Alert has tagged the senders and receivers of these two XRP amounts as “unknown” addresses but XRP-focused data platform Bithomp shows that in both cases the sender and the receiver were the Uphold crypto exchange that moved the funds internally.

Ripple CEO criticizes crypto tribalism
Recently as stated by the CNBC, head of Ripple Labs Brad Garlinghouse bashed tribalism in the crypto firm, saying that this is a major issue of the space that slows down its growth on a big scale.
Garlinghouse himself holds Bitcoin and Ethereum, apart from XRP, and as a former executive at Yahoo, he saw a lot of companies that managed to co-exist well enough during the dot-com boom in the 1990s.
Now, Garlinghouse is shocked at the lack of organization between the leaders of the crypto firms and communities and the absence of sufficient regulation from the US authorities, as he admitted in the interview.
