A substantial acquisition of Ripple’s XRP token has been identified by Whale Alert, a prominent crypto tracking platform.
The platform noted a transfer of 66,666,659 XRP, equating to approximately $33,065,809, from Binance to an undisclosed wallet.
This transfer has ignited discussions about the potential ramifications for its market value.
In recent times, noteworthy transfers of significant XRP amounts have taken place within Ripple’s ecosystem, as sizeable quantities of XRP have been deposited into secure escrow accounts.
Notably, these include 300,000,000 XRP, valued at approximately $146,927,854, and an additional 500,000,000 XRP, with an approximate worth of $244,748,526.
These developments transpire amidst the ongoing legal dispute between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Ripple’s legal representatives have presented a response to the SEC’s appeal following Judge Analisa Torres’ July verdict that XRP does not qualify as a security during public sales.

In their response, Ripple’s legal team contended that the criteria for an interim appeal were not met.
They urged the court to either dismiss the appeal or institute a stay on proceedings.
Recent activity has shown notable increases in the utilization of XRP, as evident in a seven-month peak in on-chain transactions and a three-month high in circulation.
These metrics indicate heightened engagement and activity within the XRP ecosystem, which could potentially lead to an upsurge in demand.
The trajectory toward achieving a $1 valuation for XRP remains uncertain.
Nevertheless, the ongoing developments within the XRP ecosystem continue to exert an influence on the token’s value and spark conjecture among investors.
