By now, the balance of his wallet remains the same as it was on the first day of September: 709,911 million XRP. At the current rate, that is equal to $771,096,230. On Sept. 1, the fiat equivalent was bigger: around $880 million.
As a rule, McCaleb sells XRP every day with rare pauses. But over the past nine days, he has not sold any coins.
