Whale Alert, known for issuing alarm notifications about big whale transactions, claimed that over $147 billion worth of Ripple (XRP) coins were transferred to cryptocurrency exchanges Binance and Bitfinex.
However, this is not possible since the amount of XRP in total circulation is 54 billion XRP. Bitfinex CEO Paolo Ardoino also made a statement on the subject:
<blockquote>
 “Someone tried to attack Bitfinex via a “Partial Payments Attack”.
 The attack failed because Bitfinex properly processed the 'delivered_amount' data field…”
