<p>This move follows Ripple’s decision on January 1 to move 1 billion XRP, subsequently relocking 80% in escrow. Notably, 200 million XRP, constituting 20% of the total, returned to the company’s spending address.</p> 
<p><strong>Brilliant Move, Indeed! </strong></p> 
<p>Highlighting Ripple’s tactical brilliance, the company executed a strategic move by transferring 100 million XRP to a specific address (‘rP4X2…sKxv3’) on January 7. </p> 
<p>Surprisingly, the company repeated this move later in the month, relocating another substantial sum of 80 million XRP to the same address. This calculated strategy results in Ripple locking up an impressive 46.34 million XRP, valued at $26.46 million, and maintaining a balance of 97.8 million XRP, equivalent to $55.84 million, in the mentioned address.</p>
