Yuri MolchanRipple increases its daily XRP transactions to Huobi
The Ripple fintech giant continues to conduct daily XRP transfers to the Huobi crypto exchange. As per the details from analytics website Bithomp, last week, the blockchain decacorn Ripple wired 4,087,900 tokens per day.
Now, this daily amount has increased a little. This week has begun with two 4,195,300 XRP transfers.
Ripple has not commented on these continuous transfers to Huobi, so these regular (for the time being) transactions are likely to be made to support XRP liquidity on the largest crypto exchange in China.
The blockchain decacorn, Ripple, has been moving crypto to Huobi via its RL18-VN wallet since April 9. Ripple has already sent 200 million XRP to this wallet to be transferred to Houbi in two batches.
The latest XRP transfer from Ripple to the wallet took place on May 8.
