1 billion XRP unlocked from a pledge on an unknown wallet; Over 400 Million XRP Moved in Less Than 24 Hours – Times Tabloid

Less than 24 hours into the new month, huge transactions involving Ripple’s digital token, XRP, have already been recorded. While XRP whales have moved over 200 million XRP to and from exchanges, a total of one billion units of XRP have been released from escrow in unknown wallets.

According to recent updates from Whale Alert, the large crypto transaction tracker, a cumulative total of 1 billion units of Ripple’s XRP digital token have recently been unlocked from escrows of unknown wallets.

As reported by whale transaction tracker, this huge amount of XRP was unblocked through three different transactions, in less than 24 hours.

The first trade involved a total of 500,000,000 XRP worth $163,524,642, while the second trade involved 300,000,000 XRP worth $98,114,785 at the time of execution.

In the third transaction, 200,000,000 units of the native Ripple blockchain token worth $65,409,857 were unlocked from an escrow of an unknown wallet.

Although the purpose of these token unlocks is not categorically stated, it should be noted that every first day of the month, Ripple typically unlocks 1 billion XRP from a trusted third party.

Thereafter, the crypto solution company typically locks 800 million units of the unlocked XRP. The remaining 200 million XRP is channeled to cover business expenses for the month. Also, Ripple uses this monthly token unlock to increase XRP liquidity.

Ripple’s major spending at the moment is in line with the ongoing XRP lawsuit filed against the San Francisco-based company by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, noted earlier that the company will spend over $100 million in the ongoing legal battle with the securities watchdog.
