Analysis by XRP Enthusiast:
Ercan Sak, a Turkish XRP enthusiast, delved into the details of these transactions. He observed that both the sender and receiver addresses in these transfers were Binance exchange wallets. This led Sak to conclude that these transactions likely pertained to the exchange’s internal operations rather than external trading or selling.
Binance’s Role Clarified:
XRP’s blockchain explorer confirmed Sak’s assessment, identifying the recipient address as a Binance-controlled wallet. This revelation quelled some concerns about a massive XRP sell-off, providing clarity on the nature of these transactions.
Spike in XRP Leaving Binance:
A review of Whale Alert’s data revealed a recent surge in XRP leaving the Binance exchange for external wallets. Notably, over $20 million worth of XRP departed from Binance in one day, and a more substantial 66,666,659 XRP were transferred out of the exchange in another. In total, 210,208,965 XRP, valued at $104,747,127, exited Binance within the new month.
