<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/is-xrp-on-the-edge-of-becoming-a-global-reserve-currency-ripple-cto-unveils-the-answer/">Ripple</a>, the company behind the XRP cryptocurrency, has recently sold millions of XRP tokens from its holdings. This is a significant change in strategy, as Ripple had previously restricted its sales of XRP amidst ongoing legal issues.</p>

<p>Blockchain tracker Whale­ Alert recently re­ported two significant transactions involving <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/xrp-ripple-price-prediction/">XRP</a>. One transaction consisted of 29.7 million XRP, while the other involved a whopping 425.3 million XRP.</p>

<p>In a noteworthy transaction, Ripple­ transferred around 30 million XRP to Bitstamp. What adds intrigue to this move­ is that Ripple opted to sell these XRP tokens for approximately $15 million.</p> 
<p>Confirmation from Bithomp, a data provider focused on XRP, later verified that Ripple Labs initiated this transfer with the intention of selling it for approximately $15 million.</p> 
<p><strong>Mystery weighs thick </strong></p> 
<p>However, the second transaction, involving over 425 million XRP, moved from the Bitvavo digital exchange to an unidentified wallet, raising questions within the crypto community.</p>

<p>However, what’s less clear is whether this sale was executed at a profit or if Ripple absorbed a loss.</p> 
<p>In August, Whale Alert documented several XRP transactions of similar sizes, with some originating from Bitvavo. Despite a slight 1.44% dip in XRP’s price following a prior 4.73% increase, Ripple executed these transactions successfully.</p>

<h2 id="ripples-clever-strategy" data-name="ripples-clever-strategy" class="wp-block-heading">Ripple’s Clever Strategy</h2> 
<p>To maintain market liquidity and stability, Ripple has carefully managed its XRP holdings. Since 2018, they have been releasing one billion XRP from escrow each month.</p> 
<p>However, what sets Ripple apart is its recent decision to <a href="https://whale-alert.io/transaction/ripple/43367958E42AFD313411D8CA52C1DB72E23E7CBCCDE4750B38E3DCCC40175285">relock approximately 80%</a> of the XRP that was previously released back into escrow. This means that only around 200 million XRP are injected into the market on average each month.</p> 
<p>Ripple’s strate­gic moves have garnere­d significant attention. Crypto enthusiasts and market obse­rvers are carefully analyzing the potential impact of these actions on both the value of XRP and overall market dynamics.</p> 
<p>With XRP’s price fluctuations and Ripple’s evolving strategies, the crypto world remains as intriguing and unpredictable as ever.</p>
