Another Ripple Crash Imminent? Whale Moves Millions of XRP to Korean Exchange

The market has suddenly crashed today, resulting in billions worth of liquidated leveraged positions. This comes on the back of Bitcoin’s price plunging toward $25K and many other cryptocurrencies following suit.

Ripple’s XRP has seemingly had it the worst. It’s down over 15% in the same period, and now it might even be in for more trouble.

  • Ripple’s XRP has crashed by more than 15% in the past 24 hours alone, leaving over $50 million worth of liquidated leverage positions, according to data from CoinGlass.
  • But it seems that the altcoin might be in for more trouble.
  • The well-known whale transaction tracking resource Whale Alert has flagged a massive transaction of 150 million XRP sent to the largest Korean exchange – Bithumb.

  • It’s important to note that this doesn’t necessarily mean that there’s a crash incoming.
  • However, more often than not, investors send their cryptocurrency to an exchange with the intention to sell rather than hold.
  • This particular transaction saw the transfer of almost $80 million worth of XRP – a formidable amount.
