Jed McCaleb sells another 29.5 million XRP

On Sunday, as U.Today covered, McCaleb cashed out the same amount of XRP tokens. At the present exchange rate, it equals $17,876,317.

McCaleb was given nine billion XRP after leaving the company soon after he had founded it with Chris Larsen.

After announcing his intention to cash out the entire amount, Ripple Labs forced him to sign an agreement that would enable him to dump his XRP in equal portions and not all at once, thus flooding the market with XRP.

Since then, McCaleb has been selling his giant XRP holdings in portions. However, as the price popped to $0.60 and, prior to that set a new high of $0.79, he has been cashing out much bigger XRP portions than usual.
