Popular crypto platform WhaleAlert that tracks down large movements of cryptocurrencies has spotted several substantial transactions that carried nearly 767 million XRP tokens.
Two of these transfers carried more than an eye-popping 280 million XRP each.
Ripple sells 50 million XRP
Ripple fintech giant was spotted shifting 50,000,000 XRP worth $18,877,056. This chunk of crypto was sent to the company's alternative wallet, RL18-VN.
This address is used for converting XRP into fiat, as well as for moving XRP outside the company – to crypto exchanges and financial institutions who are among Ripple's clients.
Aside from that, RL18-VN is also used to send XRP to the company's liquidity corridors (ODL platforms).
