Whale XRP Moves $53 Million to Coinbase, Signals Bullish Trend?

Jakarta, Pintu News – A recent large XRP (XRP) transaction caught the attention of the crypto community and raised questions regarding its purpose.

Based on Whale Alert data, XRP worth approximately $53 million was suddenly moved to Coinbase from an unknown wallet.

This has led to speculation as to whether the “whale” is planning to sell the large XRP stake, or if there are other reasons behind the move.

XRP Transfer Worth $53 Million

According to blockchain tracker Whale Alert, a total of 16.69 million XRP – worth approximately $53.16 million – was moved from anonymous wallets directly to Coinbase.

However, Whale Alert data shows that this transaction did not actually originate from an external wallet. Instead, the tokens moved between Coinbase’s two cold storage wallets, labeled “197” and “Cold Wallet 6”.

The two usually hold around 16.5 million XRP each.

While the reason for the move is unclear, whale activity of this magnitude often signals potential short-term volatility. If the token is sold, this could add selling pressure to the XRP price.

Whale Movement Triggers Speculation

Coinbase reportedly operates around 27 similar XRP wallets with large balances, so this $53 million transfer is just a fraction of the exchange’s total holdings.

Even so, a large number of transactions are often taken as a signal of potential market changes, especially if they involve centralized exchanges like Coinbase, where tokens can be quickly sold.

XRP Forms a Bullish Pattern

Despite the size of the transfer, the price of XRP has barely moved, currently trading around $3.20, up about 1%.

Meanwhile, XRP derivatives open interest also rose 15% to $5.90 billion, indicating aggressive positioning from large market participants who seem optimistic about XRP’s prospects.

Looking at the XRP price chart, a potential “V” shaped price pattern is forming, which is a positive indication for further upside. Meanwhile, the main resistance level is at $3.30; if broken, XRP has the opportunity to go to $3.50 and even $3.70.

However, if the level holds, it is likely that the price will move sideways in the near future.
