Ripple Labs, the well-known crypto payments company, recently made a significant transfer of XRP to an unknown wallet, sparking concerns and speculation in the community about the purpose of the transfer.
Data provided by Whale Alert shows that Ripple transferred 150 million XRP, worth approximately $85.38 million. What stands out about this transaction is that the wallet in question has a history of receiving multiple proceeds from Ripple.
The account, activated in October 2023, has experienced a series of fund outflows this September, including XRP 40 million on September 10 and XRP 12.08 million on September 12.
Prior to that, the wallet received 200 million XRP from Ripple in August and another 150 million XRP in July.
This has fueled speculation among XRP holders, with some suggesting that the portfolio may belong to an institutional investor, while others believe it may be cold storage, signaling a potential bullish trend for XRP.
