Over 188 mln XRP moved from Bithumb in January

On December 30, the XRPL Monitor account on Twitter reported that 64,000,000 XRP was moved from Bithumb to the same unknown wallet.

Apart from that, data from the Bithomp website indicates that since January 10 at least 128,000,000 has been sent from Bithumb to this anonymous wallet in large transactions (plus the 64 mln mentioned above). There has also been a great deal of smaller ones, sometimes several transfers per day.

However, Bithomb says that this account was set up by Bithumb, so these are most likely some type of transactions happening inside the Bithumb exchange.
