• Whales have allegedly moved over $363 million in Bitcoin and XRP.

According to on-chain revelations by Whale Alert, the sudden movement of several transactions totaling over $363 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ripple (XRP) has been confirmed. As a result, trade in the respective tokens has moved in a sideways sentiment, according to data from Coinmarketcap.

Concretely, one “whale” sent 6,314 BTC, worth approximately $130,868,521, from an undisclosed wallet to the cryptoexchange Binance yesterday, making this the biggest of three significant crypto asset transactions on that day.

In a second transaction, a whale moved 3,336 BTC worth $69,226,236, while 1,961 BTC worth around $40,580,377 was moved from the crypto exchange Gemini to an unidentified wallet in a third transaction.
