Popular crypto tracking service Whale Alert, which tracks down large cryptocurrency transfers and shares the details on its account on the X platform (formerly widely known as Twitter), has spotted an <a href="https://u.today/800-million-xrp-migrate-from-top-global-exchange-is-this-start-of-something-big" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">immense XRP transfer</a> worth almost $200 million in fiat.
This transfer targeted the world’s biggest centralized crypto exchange by volume, Binance, and it occurred amid the fourth largest crypto, XRP, printing a substantial price increase of 9.33% since Monday. At the time of this writing, XRP is changing hands at $2.57.

The community was curious as to the nature of this transfer and the wallet it was initiated by. The opinions widely differed – while some said it was a sign of an upcoming XRP pump, others said that a deposit likely meant an upcoming sell-off.
XRP-focused analytics platform Bithomp shared that this was an internal transaction, after all, since the anonymous wallet that moved the funds belonged to Binance.
On Monday, the same analytics platform reported that astonishing 800,000,000 XRP and 120,000,000 XRP withdrawals were made from Binance – batches of crypto worth $1,927,321,529 and $283,017,799. However, Bithomp also shared data proving that those withdrawals were made to Binance-linked wallets as the top crypto exchange reshuffled its XRP holdings, moving some of them to new wallets.
