XRP, one of the most prominent cryptocurrencies by global market cap, once again echoed a sense of frenzy across the crypto horizon on Thursday, following three noteworthy whale transactions noted by the Ripple-backed token. As per blockchain insights revealed by the blockchain tracker Whale Alert, a staggering 91 million XRP, shuffled between wallets and exchanges recently, piqued the interest of crypto market fanatics globally. Two notable transactions showcased the dumping of XRP to CEXs, whereas one accumulated a colossal amount of XRP from a CEX. 
Meanwhile, XRP’s price jumped remarkably today, surging past the $0.51 mark, birthing additional inferences for the token. A noteworthy cause for the jump in the token’s price may be due to <a href="https://coingape.com/former-ripple-director-hints-at-big-xrp-announcement-amid-skepticism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sean McBride’s</a> recent announcement of upcoming significant news for XRP. While, the crypto community also anticipates the jump to be because of Ripple’s strategic legal maneuvering in the SEC lawsuit, scouring for an extension.

According to the data revealed by Whale Alert, the three whales collectively shifted 91.3 million XRP, worth $46.35 million, nabbing significant attention globally.

Intriguingly, amid the whales’ significant shuffling of funds, the XRP price appears to be on an upward momentum. The Ripple-backed token’s options data further aligned with the price jump.

As of press time, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP price</a> traded in the green, jumping 2% over the past 24 hours, reaching $0.514. Moreover, the token’s market cap and trading volume also jotted down a 2.03% and 18.87% upswing, respectively. 
The sudden jump, despite today’s whale dump, appears to come as a result of Ripple’s former director’s recent cryptic message of a significant announcement shortly ahead. In addition, Ripple’s strategic legal maneuvering in its lawsuit appears to have further aided this upward momentum.
