Over the past twenty-four hours, a number of major XRP transactions have been spotted, each carrying from 10 mln to 50 mln XRP on average. The amount of XRP moved totals almost 294.3 mln.
From it, 94.3 mln was sent by Ripple to an anonymous wallet and digital exchanges. Ripple’s major ODL platform also participated, moving a substantial amount of the XRP.
