Whale Alert has spotted four crypto transfers bearing massive sums of Ripple-affiliated XRP tokens. The overall amount of XRP that has been transferred constitutes nearly 220 million XRP.
The four transactions carry amounts of 60,000,000 and 36 million coins worth $71,073,810 in total at the current exchange rate of $0.3264.
