<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Popular blockchain sleuth Whale Alert, which tracks down large cryptocurrency transfers and shares the details on the X social media platform, has revealed that Ripple behemoth unleashed another tremendous amount of XRP from escrow.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">On August 1-2, the company made a traditional funds withdrawal from escrow, releasing a <a href="https://u.today/over-one-billion-xrp-shuffled-by-ripple-in-24-hours">whopping 1 billion XRP coins</a>. Today, Ripple moved an additional half a million XRP from it as well.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">The 500 million XRP moved by Ripple earlier today constitutes $281,693,718. One billion XRP is valued at approximately $563.2 million.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Ripple has been making monthly XRP releases from escrow over the past seven years to support the coin’s liquidity on the market and send part of these XRP coins to its institutional clients working with payments.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">According to a recent report published by Ripple, the company still holds a massive 4.682 billion XRP in its cold crypto wallets.</p>
<h2 id="91-million-xrp-on-move">91 million XRP on move</h2>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Apart from the above-mentioned bag of XRP transferred by the cryptocurrency giant Ripple, Whale Alert also spotted several smaller transfers made over the past 24 hours. There were four transactions that carried 20-25 million XRP each.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">In three of them, one chunk of 23 million XRP and two chunks of 24 million XRP each were withdrawn from the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance. In total, that was 71.2 million XRP evaluated at $40.1 million in fiat. Those transfers were made from Binance to unidentified wallets.</p>
<p lang="en-GB" xml:lang="en-GB">Also, the blockchain tracker detected 20,000,000 XRP sent from an anonymous blockchain address to the BitGet exchange. That amount of XRP was worth $11,659,024.</p>
