Ripple sells 50 million XRP on Bitstamp
Whale Alert has tweeted that in the last 48 hours, a substantial amount of XRP tokens, totalling nearly 300 million XRP, has been moved. The amount sent by the crypto giant Ripple comprised 50 million tokens which is worth $18,777,694 at the current XRP/USD exchange rate.
Bithomp analytics platform that is focused on XRP data shows that this 50 million tokens were moved by Ripple to its RL18-VN wallet and then 20 million XRP were sent to the Bitstamp exchange.
Curiously, this platform that also operates as one of Ripple’s numerous ODL corridors intends to delist one of XRP pairs later in August – XRP/PAX.
Exchanges move 220 million XRP
The rest of the 270-million stash spotted by Whale Alert was shifted by top-tier exchanges Bittrex, BitGo, Bitstamp and Bitso – the crypto unicorn related to Ripple after the undisclosed investment by the crypto giant into this exchange in the fall of 2019.
Overall, the total amount of XRP is evaluated at $102,293,258.
