Investors Move Over 475.15 Million XRP In The Past 24 Hours, Ripple Locks A Total Of 1.2 Billion In The Escrow Wallet
In a recent tweet shared by Whale Alert, there has been a massive movement of XRP. The massive movement was traced to the unknown investors making the transfer to leading cryptocurrency exchanges. The transfer claimed over 475.15 million XRP, worth $218.57 million at the current exchange rate in the past 24 hours.Â
Furthermore, the usual practice of Ripple blockchain’s transfer, where it will initiate a monthly transfer of 1 billion XRP tokens from escrow and later lock back 800 million was a little different this time. Ripple locked a total of 1.2 billion without allowing little for the maintenance of the operation on the Ripple system.

Ripple Locked A Whole 1.2 Billion XRP Token

Whale Alert revealed that the first transaction locked 500 million XRP worth $230.36 million to the Ripple Escrow Wallet.
According to Whale Alert, Ripple locked another 200 million XRP in its escrow wallet less than two minutes after the first transaction.
Whale Alert noted the last transaction as Ripple locked another massive 500 million XRP to the escrow wallet from an unknown wallet.

And this was a result of the initiative that started in 2017. Ripple locked 55% of XRP’s total supply in escrow at the time to boost the token’s price.Â
