Bithumb, one of South Korea's largest exchanges, facilitating the withdrawal of 1.586 billion XRP.
According to Whale Alert, the first significant transaction involved 586.09 million XRP, valued at approximately $296.95 million, sent to a newly created wallet, “rPyCQ,” just a day ago. This was the largest of three transactions, with the others comprising 200 million XRP and an additional amount close to that, amounting to a total of about $202.76 million. All these withdrawals were directed to newly established wallets.
While large withdrawals from exchanges are typically viewed positively—often interpreted as major players moving assets to secure storage—this case appears to have a straightforward explanation.
Reports indicate that the transfers are likely internal movements within Bithumb itself, rather than indicating significant market maneuvers by large investors. The XRPwallets account, which tracks large transfers, supports this perspective, noting that 1.586 billion XRP has accumulated in the new addresses.
Ultimately, these actions seem to be part of routine operational adjustments by Bithumb, rather than an indication of underlying market forces. However, the perception surrounding these transfers could still influence XRP’s price dynamics in the near future.
