Ripple and exchanges moving large amounts of XRP
According to tweets by the blockchain tracker, Ripple transferred 20 million to its RL18-VN wallet. As reported by U.Today on Thursday, Ripple sent the same amount of crypto to its partner in Mexico: Bitso.
This exchange is the largest crypto venue in Latin America and is actively spreading Ripple's ODL technology in the region. In November 2019, the fintech heavyweight from San Francisco invested an undisclosed amount of funds in this exchange.
Earlier this year, Bitso raised enough cash in a funding round to become the first crypto unicorn in Latin America.
Bybit exchange shifted a whopping 88,237,930 XRP ($87,644,550 USD) to Binance. Bittrex wired 15 million XRP to the Upbit crypto trading venue.
