Against the backdrop of the <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-crash-why-bitcoin-and-altcoins-are-falling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto market’s</a> remarkable bearish movement today, an XRP whale has continued to dump significant amounts of coins to exchanges. Over the past day, nearly 65 million XRP was recorded to have been offloaded, raising severe concerns among crypto market participants. 
XRP is currently feeling the heat of the broader market’s downtrend, as also seen by Bitcoin (BTC) slipping as low as the $57K mark. Further, the whale’s dump, despite the recent advancements in the XRP lawsuit, has curated a storm of speculations on future price movements. 
<h2 id="whale-dumps-65m-coins">Whale Dumps 65M Coins</h2> 
In a couple of posts shared by the on-chain transaction tracker Whale Alert, it was pointed out that 64.70 million coins were shifted to CEXs via the same whale address. As per the data, the address …Rzn was registered to have been making the massive dump. 
Intriguingly, the whale shifted 32.69 million XRP, worth $15.12 million, to the Bitso crypto exchange. Meanwhile, in another transaction, the whale shifted 32.01 million XRP, worth $14.82 million, to the Bitstamp crypto exchange. 
The emergence of these transactions amid XRP showing signs of a pullback has raised bearish market sentiments. Also, it’s worth noting that speculations of this whale being linked to Ripple persist. For context, these transactions became a recurring phenomenon soon after Ripple strategically acquired a stake in Bitstamp. 
In the interim, XRP price continued to dip, aligning with the whale’s massive dump and the broader market trend. Despite positive developments in the <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-news-whale-shifts-63m-coins-as-ripple-strengthens-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ripple vs the U.S. SEC</a> lawsuit, as Ripple filed a notice of supplemental authority, the XRP community is yet to witness a significant shift in market sentiment.

At press time, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP price</a> showed signs of a pullback, falling 6.84% to $0.4502. The Ripple-backed asset’s 24-hour lows and highs are $0.4486 and $0.4833, respectively. 
XRP’s Futures OI dipped 10.08% to $547.41 million, coinciding with the price fall. However, the derivatives volume rocketed 86.88% to $1.58 billion. This hinted at an uncertain market sentiment for XRP. 
Meanwhile, crypto analyst Dark Defender took to X, spotlighting the cryptocurrency’s turbulency below $0.4623. The analyst states that the volume is currently at a shallow level, indicating a lack of market activity with no selling or buying. This could potentially pave the way for a dip to $0.3917 should XRP close below $0.4623. 
Crypto market enthusiasts continue to eye the token for vital shifts ahead.
