Popular crypto tracker Whale Alert has detected four "heavy" transfers of XRP conducted by major crypto exchanges over the past 15 hours.
Half of that amount was moved in a single motion. Meanwhile, the eighth-largest cryptocurrency, XRP, has shown a slight decline, now trading in the $0.7 range, as per CoinMarketCap.
The price drop took place after the recent move of the SEC against Ripple Labs in court.
