article from the news Blockchain portal https://blockchainworld.media
Ripple shifts $10,249,930
In the transaction noticed by Whale Alert, Ripple transferred 40 million XRP, which totals slightly over $10 million.
The transaction was made between two of Ripple’s wallets. The receiving address was titled RL18-VN; it is believed to be one of Ripple’s extra escrow wallets, which is used to cash out XRP for the company’s needs, such as operational expenditures.
In the comment thread under the tweet, some followers have assumed that the transacted amount may be part of the payment to the 21 lawyers that will be representing Ripple, CEO Brad Garlinghouse and cofounder Chris Larsen in court against the SEC.
The company and its high-profile executives have been accused of selling “unregistered securities” (XRP) in the lawsuit announced on Dec. 21, 2020.
