According to additional data shared by the Bithomp XRP-centered explorer, the Binance transaction was made internally – from one Binance wallet to another. The same source revealed that the second transaction, which had Bitstamp as the destination, was initiated by a wallet related to San Francisco-based crypto behemoth Ripple.
Bitstamp is one of the numerous cryptocurrency exchanges that cooperate with Ripple in its global payments system “Ripple Payments.”

In a recent interview with Bloomberg, the chief executive officer of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, said that he expects the long-running case of the Securities and Exchange Commission against <a href="https://u.today/ripple-ceo-legal-battle-with-sec-will-be-over-very-soon" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple to be over “very soon.”</a>
However, he refused to discuss any particular dates or the rumors of the approaching settlement negotiations between Ripple and the U.S. financial regulator. As reported by U.Today previously, a closed meeting between the SEC and the blockchain heavyweight has been <a href="https://u.today/ripple-v-sec-xrp-price-up-as-new-closed-meeting-date-set" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">scheduled for July 25</a>.
It is worth recalling that approximately a year ago, Federal Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP was not to be qualified as a security on the secondary market. However, the SEC continues its attempts to prove that it could definitely be considered a security when it was sold by Ripple to financial institutions.
The rumors about the upcoming settlement talks between the SEC and Ripple propelled the XRP price by a staggering 17% last week, pushing it from $0.54 to the $0.63 level. It was followed by a 14% decline the following day.
Between Friday and now (Monday), XRP has increased by an impressive 14%. After a recent 2% drop, though, it is changing hands at $0.60699.
