Ripple Labs, known for its regular large-scale XRP transactions, conducted this operation with 230 million XRP moved from a familiar treasury wallet to an unknown one, which is suspected to be Ripple-controlled. No direct leadership statements have been issued.
The transaction has led to speculation within the XRP community about potential institutional engagement or reserve management. A spike in XRP inflows to cryptocurrency exchange Binance was noted. The event did not significantly impact XRP’s price, which held steady around $2.19.
