Amid regulatory concerns and the controversial news of Dogecoin wallet mishap, an anonymous whale trader moved a large number of coins to the popular centralized exchange Binance. While many traders decide to store their coins in cold or hot wallets, an XRP whale decided otherwise to move a massive volume amounting to 40 Million.
Analyzing the transactional activity on Bithomp, an anonymous wallet with the ending “kskkhi ” moved 40 Million XRP to a wallet on Binance. Interestingly, the large volume of XRP was sold almost instantly.
The Unknown Wallet Owns 13 Million Coins After Sale
Presently, the wallet has over 13 million coins left after the sale of 40 million XRP. The unknown wallet was reportedly not the only one involved in the transaction, as the wallet that transferred 40 million coins to the wallet that sold them on Binance is currently holding 156 million XRP.
The initial wallet may somehow be connected to another exchange since it has been collecting a large number of funds, including the recent 40 million coins.
