On Sunday, Whale Alert reported that 330 million XRP tokens were transferred from an unknown wallet to the enterprise blockchain company Ripple. This was followed by another batch of 170 million tokens.
After this, 670 million XRP tokens were locked in escrow, which typically happens on the first day of the month. These are the tokens from Ripple's own XRP holdings. The automatic release of 1 billion tokens, which used to take place on the first day of every month, is likely to happen later this week. In March, Ripple created new escrows from its existing XRP instead of the monthly release for the first time.
Finally, a total of 130 million XRP tokens were then transferred from Ripple to unknown wallets within three separate transactions.
