Ripple Moves 200 Million XRP as Price Surges 15% — Is a Sell-Off Coming?

  • Ripple recently transferred 200 million XRP worth over $402 million, sparking speculation about a potential sell-off, though the funds were later traced to another Ripple-linked wallet.
  • This move coincided with a 15% surge in XRP’s price, driven partly by positive market sentiment following a temporary halt on U.S. trade tariffs.

The XRP community is buzzing after blockchain tracking platform Whale Alert flagged a massive 200 million XRP transfer initiated by Ripple, sparking intense speculation about the move’s motive and its impact on XRP’s price.

Ripple’s Mysterious 200 Million XRP Transfer

In a transfer worth over $402 million, Ripple moved 200 million XRP from one of its wallets to an anonymous address, triggering immediate speculation from the crypto community. While large transactions from Ripple are not uncommon, the timing of this move—just as XRP gained 15% in two days—raised eyebrows.

Blockchain explorer Bithomp later revealed that the XRP was eventually routed to another wallet linked to Ripple itself. This indicates it may not be an outright sale just yet. However, the pattern isn’t new—Ripple has often used similar routing techniques before moving assets to crypto exchanges, usually to fund operations or distribute tokens to institutional partners.

This revelation does little to calm investor nerves, as such massive transfers can often precede price dumps if sold in bulk on exchanges. Some community members are already bracing for a potential market shake-up.

Market Momentum and Political Factors

Interestingly, this transaction came on the heels of a 15% rally in XRP’s price, which was part of a broader crypto market surge. The rise was partly fueled by geopolitical news—U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on trade tariffs, easing investor concerns and boosting market sentiment.

Earlier this week, XRP surged to a high of $2.09 before correcting to $2 before a slight correction brought it down to around $2 per coin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin also reacted positively, jumping 11.26% to surpass $83,520.

What’s Next for XRP?

Whether this transfer leads to a sell-off or a redistribution to institutional clients, Ripple’s recent move has certainly added a layer of uncertainty. While XRP’s recent price action remains bullish, the market will closely monitor any signs of increased selling pressure from Ripple’s wallets.

For now, XRP holders are left watching the blockchain—and the charts—wondering what Ripple’s next move might be.
