Breaking Down the Source of the 200M XRP Transfer
The timing and volume of this movement have caught the attention of many enthusiasts and analysts alike. Some people opine that this might be a prelude to today’s scheduled Ripple escrow execution.
Nonetheless, as per community tracking services, there have been no confirmed reports of an escrow transaction from Ripple so far at this time.
Further scrutiny into blockchains indicates that anonymous wallets used in this transaction may have a relationship with Ripple.inc Wallet “rP4X2hTa7A” was activated by address “rJqiMb94hy” last year which itself had been opened by ripple. inc since the year 2021.This connection implies that Ripple can put its xrp reserves in a good strategic position.
The wallet “rP4X2hTa7A” previously made small transfers of xrp over ten days before this big move. The outflows came after a deposit from the “Ripple 1” wallet totaling two hundred and fifty thousand eleven days ago.
Similarly, on June seventh, Ripple moved one hundred and fifty million xrps from wallet “rP4X2hTa7A” making a total outflow of 400 million xrps in June.
Ripple’s June Offload: A Strategic Move?
These recent activities by Ripple are part of a larger trend. In June, the firm sold off 400 million XRPs, which is significantly higher than the average liquidation of 200 million XRP each month before that.
This change was predicted by analysts who watched Ripple’s transactional patterns until one billion XRP was released from escrow on the first of June.
As expected, Ripple ended up having to sell much more XRP with all the four hundred million XRPs that were earlier set aside for its main spendable wallet being sent out to external addresses.
Currently, there has been no outward transaction made by the anonymous wallet that received two hundred million XRPs last Sunday.
Further moves by Ripple are being carefully monitored in the crypto community. The timing and method used during these transfers imply that Ripple could be positioning itself for future market events or following a pre-determined distribution strategy.
