Tens of millions of XRP have been transferred to the Bitstamp exchange while XRP is striving to recover after the recent correction
Popular crypto tracker Whale Alert has detected a big XRP transfer made from an anonymous wallet to the major Bitstamp exchange.
This transaction carried 23,100,000 XRP evaluated at a massive amount in fiat – $15,986,066. The crypto tracker marked the sender wallet as “unknown” but the XRP explorer Bithomp revealed that this is a wallet related to Ripple Labs fintech titan based in San Francisco.
The transfer was made to the Bitstamp exchange which is one of the platforms collaborating with Ripple on the so-called ODL corridors. ODL stands for On-Demand Liquidity, a service based on RippleNet network which leverages XRP for fast and low-cost international fund transfers.
Just recently, ODL has been rebranded as Ripple Payments for better clarity for outsiders. Just recently, Ripple spread the word in its blog that its payments service now covers more than 70 markets in various corners of the globe.
