Significantly, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, Binance, inexplicably withdrew 50 million XRP tokens. This withdrawal fits into a larger pattern of XRP whale behaviour that has been noted over the past 24 hours, including an increase in significant transactions using the cryptocurrency asset.
According to cryptocurrency data tracker Whale Alert, two transactions totaling 50 million XRP were transferred from Binance to unidentified wallets.
Two distinct transactions from Binance involved the transfer of 25,371,334 XRP worth $13,365,853 and 24,887,349 XRP for $13,076,779 to unidentified wallets.

The mystery surrounding the transactions is increased by the fact that the destination wallets’ identities are still unknown.
The amount of withdrawals indicates that there may be a connection between whale or institutional activities. Institutional investors, or whales, may amass XRP for tactical uses including long-term holdings or over-the-counter (OTC) trading. This idea is consistent with the rising trend of institutional participation in the bitcoin market.
The price of XRP appears to be headed for a possible upswing at the moment of this latest event. After rising from a low of $0.508 on June 2 to a high of $0.532 in today’s trading session, XRP has now risen for two days in a row. As of this writing, XRP has lost 0.66% of its value during the previous day due to resistance at its most recent peak.
The substantial quantity of XRP that was removed may indicate a deliberate action by a major holder, maybe in advance of market movements or as a component of a more comprehensive investment plan. Perhaps money is being redistributed. In any event, it’s still unclear why the transfers occurred.
