Ripple gets 16.2 mln from Binance heavyweight

XRPL Monitor has reported that, around ten hours ago, the Binance trading giant transferred 16,231,173 XRP. That totals $3,964,925.

Over the past several months, Binance has made several gargantuan transactions of XRP to Ripple. Recently, Binance has added more products in the XRP sphere; however, the goal of Binance-to-Ripple XRP transfers remains unexplained.

Meanwhile, the Ripple giant also shifted a significant amount of XRP to an anonymous wallet: 10 mln XRP. That is $2,436,178.

Data shared by the Bithomp analytics website reveals that these funds were transferred to a wallet that belongs to BitGo—a custodial cryptocurrency service that works mainly with institutional investors.
