What this means

Many crypto experts are of the opinion that the movement of such cryptos are coming from major players within the ripple ecosystem, on the bias that such wallets contain a significant amount of XRP.

  • Meanwhile, in the past couple of weeks, crypto bears have been clawing hard on XRP, amid a legal suit filed against it by a powerful financial regulator in the U.S.
  • Ripple and its top executives were accused by the U.S. Securities regulators of deceiving crypto investors about the status of XRP, and selling over $1 billion of the crypto assets without approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
