- Ripple transferred 300 million XRP, worth approximately $652 million, from a company-controlled wallet to an unidentified address this Monday.
- The movement follows a sharp XRP rally that saw the asset climb over 11% in 24 hours to reach $2.38, briefly overtaking Binance Coin (BNB) in market capitalisation.
- The transfer likely relates to internal liquidity management or institutional partnerships, following a month where spot XRP ETFs hit $1.18 billion in total inflows.
Ripple Labs is going back to its usual habit of moving large amounts of XRP. This time, the firm has moved 300 million XRP, which is worth around US$652 million (or AU$997 million), to an unidentified wallet in a single transaction this Monday.
Needless to say, this comes after XRP extended a short-term rally, particularly breaking above US$2.38 (AU$3.54) and taking over BNB as the fourth-largest crypto asset by market cap.

The transfer also arrived during a session where Bitcoin (BTC) and most altcoins experienced strong gains. Over the past 24 hours, BTC rose about 3.24% and ether gained roughly 2.38%, while XRP was up more than11% over the same period, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
A Large XRP Transfer
Large outbound XRP movements from wallets associated with Ripple are often watched for signs of potential selling pressure. In this case, the destination wallet was not identified, leaving the purpose of the transfer unclear and making it difficult to determine whether the move reflects a sale, a repositioning of holdings, or internal treasury activity.
Social media speculation linked the transfer to operational needs such as partnerships or liquidity management, but no confirmation was provided alongside the transaction.
This also comes shortly after US spot XRP ETFs achieved US$13.59 million (AU$20.7 million) in net inflows last week, now reaching cumulative inflows since launch to over US$1.18 billion (AU$2.68 billion).
XRP saw over 28% in gains last week, making it one of the best performers of that period, and outpacing numerous high-market-cap cryptocurrencies.
