XRP Price Still Stable Despite the Transaction
A transaction of this sort usually suggests that the owner of the XRP coins transferred the funds to Binance for selling.
It is worth mentioning that the amount of XRP in the transaction is nothing compared to the volume of XRP traded across various exchanges in the last 24 hours. Per data on cryptocurrency aggregator platform Coingecko, XRP has a 24-hour trade volume of approximately $1.38 billion.
Based on this, the price of XRP will not be affected in any way. XRP is currently at break even in the last 24 hours, with the asset class changing hands at around $0.375.
