As the popular cryptocurrency tracker Whale Alert reports, a total amount of 160.6 million XRP was transferred over the past 24 hours. One transaction in particular is causing quite a stir.
According to WhaleAlert, Ripple transferred 50 million XRP from one of its wallets to an unknown wallet. The transaction is currently the subject of a heated debate, with some believing that Ripple may sell some of the XRP they hold.
