The transaction took place less than two hours ago. The 20 million XRP shoveled in this transfer was valued at worth $50,123,331 at the time of the initiated transaction. While the community started a discussion as to the nature of this transfer, with some assuming that it could be a payment to the SEC as a fine, data published by XRPscan shows that both the sender’s and the recipient’s address belong to Bithumb. This means that the transaction was internal and it was most likely a reshuffling of the platform’s XRP holdings. The sender’s wallet still holds 1,544,938,371 XRP. 50M? sounds like payment to SEC — Guts (@Gutss1996) May 13, 2025 Meanwhile, over the past 24 hours, XRP has lost roughly 6.74% as it sharply when down from $2.60 to $2.42 per coin. After that, XRP staged a small rebound of 3.07% and is currently changing hands at $2.50.

Data shared by Lookonchain says that this trader still holds a long position of $15.4 million on SOL. At the time when the tweet was published, he was down by slightly more than half a million dollars on it. Source: https://u.today/20000000-xrp-to-top-korean-exchange-heres-whats-going-on
