In a curious turn of events in the cryptocurrency world, fintech giant Ripple has initiated a significant XRP transfer, sending shockwaves through the market. A company got 100 million XRP from an anonymous source, quickly transferring 29.6 million XRP (about $14.5 million) to Bitstamp.
However, Whale Alert, a renowned cryptocurrency tracker revered for uncovering significant transactions in the blockchain realm, recently shed light on this captivating discovery. Data from Bithomp traces the sender’s wallet to Ripple, a San Francisco-based blockchain company, in this revelation.
Ripple has transferred XRP to Bitstamp in a similar manner for the past two months. This recent transaction swiftly followed the receipt of 100 million XRP labeled as “unknown” by Whale Alert. Canada’s SideShift crypto exchange was identified as the sender of the significant transfer, sparking curiosity among industry experts.
One possible explanation for these transfers involves the practice of exchanges moving surplus XRP received from it back to the company. Alternatively, it could be implementing a buyback strategy in the secondary market. However, no official statements have been issued by the company clarifying their intentions.
Ripple Rebranding Endeavor
In a simultaneous development, Ripple has garnered attention by rebranding one of its main products, On-Demand Liquidity (ODL). This decision has caught the eye of both the Ripple and XRP community, sparking discussions and conjecture across various platforms.
Moreover, a Ripple executive elucidates the intention behind rebranding “ODL” to the new name, “Ripple payments solution.” Consequently, The rationale lies in the perception that the term “ODL” could potentially create comprehension challenges for average users. Furthermore, the company’s official website has now simplified it as the “Ripple payments solution.”
