Almost 50 million XRP disappear from Binance

Two anonymous whales have withdrawn 22,891,710 and 22,814,856 XRP from the world’s biggest cryptocurrency trading platform in terms of daily volume, Binance. Together that totals approximately 45.6 million XRP evaluated at $27.1 million.

This could be a sign of crypto whales resuming their XRP buying spree that has somewhat become less active recently. However, additional data shared by XRP-focused explorer Bithomp show that both wallets to which the millions of XRP were transferred are related to Binance. Therefore, these staggering XRP movements have proved to be fund reshuffling undertaken by Binance.
