Is it due to the Ripple IPO announcement?

Since Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that this year the San-Francisco-based blockchain giant intends to conduct an IPO (among many other IPOs that the community is going to see, as per Garlinghouse), investors and crypto exchanges seem to have become more active with their XRP stashes.

This is not the first time such large amounts of XRP have been sent – as earlier reported by U.Today, 23 mln XRP was moved between four major exchanges with Binance getting half of that amount.

Canfield reckons that unless the price of the third largest crypto breaks upwards soon, the market should expect another sell-off.
