Ripple moves XRP to Bitso

Around 18 hours ago, Whale Alert detected Ripple sending 10 million XRP to its ODL partner and crypto unicorn in Latin America: Bitso exchange.

Apart from that, major U.S. exchange Bittrex sent 17 million XRP tokens to Upbit and an anonymous whale moved 10 million XRP to the Japanese exchange Bitbank.

Now that Bitcoin is being attacked by many as a coin that consumes a lot of energy produced from fossil fuels, Ripple-affiliated XRP promotes itself as a green cryptocurrency that does not need proof of work (PoW) mining, since it has been pre-mined.
