This recent transfer is part of a series of significant transactions by Ripple, including two major transactions of 100 million XRP and 200 million XRP on July 1, as well as a transfer of 250 million XRP on June 20.
Following the recent transactions, XRP’s price has experienced continued fluctuations, reaching $0.6063. The cryptocurrency has outperformed the global market, with an 11.51% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 36.52% increase over the past week.
Whale activity has significantly impacted XRP’s recent movements. According to a Santiment report, XRP whales accumulated 3.17 billion tokens by May 28, boosting network activity despite ongoing legal challenges with the U.S. SEC. Wallets holding more than 10 million XRP have shown considerable movement, with a notable increase in holdings after reaching a low 16 months ago. This accumulation is noteworthy given the challenges Ripple has faced.
