Huge XRP Transfer Worth $18+Million Hits Bithumb Exchange

  • Whale Alerts shared that XRP worth more than $18 million was deposited onto the Bithumb exchange earlier today.
  • At press time, XRP’s price was still in the green after it increased by 1.57% in the past 24 hours.
  • XRP’s price was able to break above a symmetrical triangle pattern that had formed on its daily chart.

The whale tracking platform, Whale Alerts revealed in an X post that a huge amount of XRP was deposited to an exchange earlier today. According to the post, a whale transferred 36,370,840 XRP from an unknown wallet to Bithumb. The transferred XRP was worth approximately $18,775,470.

So far, it does not seem like the whale has made any moves to rid himself of his XRP holdings as the remittance token’s price was still in the green at press time. Data from CoinMarketCap indicated that XRP’s price was able to climb by 1.57% in the past 24 hours, which left it trading hands at $0.5164.

This meant that XRP was trading a bit closer to its 24 hour low price of $0.5072 when compared to its peak price established during this time, which was $0.5455. Notably, XRP experienced a remarkable surge in its 24 hour trading volume, bringing the total volume to $1,672,194,735.

Furthermore, it is important to highlight that XRP’s performance over the last day pushed its weekly performance into positive territory, with a gain of 0.70%. However, when looking at the monthly performance, the remittance token’s price was still down 1.80%.

XRP’s price was able to break above a symmetrical triangle pattern that had formed on its daily chart over the past couple of weeks. Furthermore, it continued to trade above this chart pattern at press time. Subsequently, the remittance token’s price may attempt to flip the $0.5515 resistance level into support in the coming few days.

Thereafter, continued buy pressure could boost the altcoin’s price to as high as the next barrier, which is situated at $0.6686. This bullish thesis will be invalidated if XRP retraces back within the breakout pattern that had formed on its daily chart. Consequently, the cryptocurrency may be at risk of breaking out towards the downside.

In this bearish scenario, XRP may retest the $0.4783 support level. If sellers continue to exert pressure on the remittance token’s price, then it may drop below this key level to as low as the subsequent mark at $0.4120 in the following 2 weeks.

Mt. Gox repayment date looming: Is Bitcoin in trouble?

Image
As the Mt. Gox repayment deadline scheduled for October approaches, crypto observers expect a major industry event coming up this fall. While the cryptocurrency community is actively discussing the upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halving in 2024, there is potentially another big market event happening this year. The trustee of the hacked Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox is set to finally repay the exchange’s creditors by the end of October 2023. If that happens, the cryptocurrency market could be significantly affected in several ways, some industry observers agree. Founded in 2010, Mt. Gox was once the biggest Bitcoin exchange in the world, estimated to facilitate around 70% of all BTC transactions before its implosion. The now-defunct exchange lost 850,000 BTC — or 4% of all Bitcoin to ever be issued — in a security breach in 2014. The event made Mt. Gox one of the biggest cryptocurrency bankruptcies of all time, with creditors yet to be repaid, nine years later. As the current Mt. Gox repay ment d

The top two crypto trading platforms by the proof-of-reserves score were Kraken and BitMEX, whereas Binance scored poorly due to its shortcomings. Bitcoin supporter Nic Carter has ranked the attestations supplied by some of the most well-known crypto trading platforms and published an in-depth review of centralized exchange proof-of-reserves. Carter thoroughly analyzed the proof-of-reserves from various exchanges (PoR).
