Chris Larson, chairman of Ripple, recently transferred 20 million XRP, attracting attention as XRP remains above $3 amid Ripple's legal battle with the SEC.
Ripple Chairman's Fund Transfer
A recent report reveals that Chris Larson transferred around 20 million XRP tokens to an unknown wallet at a value of $3.027. The recipient wallet then moved at least 10 million XRP to another wallet, which liquidated over 4 million XRP on Coinbase. Thus, 16 million XRP from the original transfer remains intact.
Speculation Surrounding the Transfers
The XRP community speculates that the transfer might relate to Ripple’s ongoing SEC lawsuit or Larson’s personal liquidation efforts. Notably, the Ripple chairman’s wallet has transferred at least 80 million XRP in just five months, after being dormant for over 11 years. In September, at least 50 million XRP tokens were moved by Larson in a simpler manner, and these were liquidated over two weeks. Some experts believe that the recent activity mirrors the September pattern.
