Blockchain sleuth Whale Alert, which tracks down large cryptocurrency movements on various blockchains, has spotted yet another massive XRP transaction performed between anonymous wallets. Once again, the sender has proven to be the fintech juggernaut Ripple, which focuses on crypto.
This has been the third similar transaction detected by Whale Alert this week. Meanwhile, the third-largest cryptocurrency, XRP, affiliated with Ripple, has lost the recent $3.65 peak reached when it almost surpassed the 2018 all-time high.

Ripple shovels 200,000,000 XRP once again
According to the above-mentioned on-chain data source, a total of 200,000,005 XRP was transferred from one unknown wallet to another around three hours ago today. This was the equivalent of a staggering $700,609,232 at the time of the transaction.
Commentators under Whale Alert’s X post assumed that whales were taking profit or, in any case, this seemed like preparation for something big to them. However, once again, the analytics account that tracks XRP movements, @XRPwallets, stepped in to clarify the nature of this massive XRP transfer.
The X post issued by @XRPwallets revealed that the transaction was made by Ripple from a wallet activated in 2020 with 200 million XRP. The wallet was drained completely as that XRP chunk was sent to a brand new wallet, also set up by Ripple. Earlier this week, Ripple transferred two similar XRP chunks, @XRPwallets noted.
Ripple 46 to Ripple subwallet
Activated June 2020 with 200M XRP. Sent to new wallet address today. This is now the second transaction of same amount and same time frame. Quite interesting. We will be monitoring where these are sent to next. 🤔 https://t.co/6Tg6wCqIW7
These 200 million XRP transactions were spotted on July 21 and 22.
