The XRP community gets enthusiastic as almost 410 million XRP worth $201 million moved to a new wallet address from a crypto exchange on Tuesday. The move comes after the recent decline in XRP price as traders book profits amid a selloff in the broader crypto market.
According to a transaction report by Whale Alert on October 17, a whale moved 409,776,402 XRP worth more than $201 million from the crypto exchange Bitvavo. Transaction data revealed that the wallet address is activated today, thus it can be a new whale or an entity buying XRP.
