Whale Holdings Soar Despite Ripple Hack"},"content":{"rendered":"
In a recent turn of events, Ripple faced a significant security breach resulting in the loss of $112 million worth of XRP. Despite this setback, the cryptocurrency community has witnessed remarkable resilience from XRP whales, who have chosen to maintain their coin holdings. This unwavering support, coupled with Ripple’s swift response, has instilled confidence in the platform’s long-term viability.<\/p>\n
On-chain data provided by Santiment reveals that XRPLedger experienced a surge in whale transactions following the hack. A total of 217 transactions involving $1 million or more in XRP<\/a> were recorded, marking the highest activity since July 2022. This surge underscores the whales’ belief in XRP’s potential, despite the temporary market turbulence caused by the hack.<\/p>\n Furthermore, wallets holding at least 10 million XRP now collectively possess 67.2% of the available supply, a concentration not seen since December 2022. This consolidation of XRP among influential investors indicates their long-term commitment to the asset.<\/p>\n In the wake of the hack, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen provided reassurances that the Ripple blockchain itself remained secure. The unauthorized access was limited to his personal XRP accounts, separate from Ripple’s operations. Larsen’s prompt action in notifying exchanges to freeze the affected addresses demonstrates Ripple’s dedication to protecting its users’ assets.<\/p>\n Moreover, Ripple is actively collaborating with law enforcement agencies, and a substantial portion of the stolen funds has already been frozen. The team is diligently pursuing the remaining funds to ensure a comprehensive resolution of the situation.<\/p>\n Amidst the Ripple hack incident, an unusual withdrawal of 20.62 million XRP tokens from Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has raised eyebrows. While initial speculation pointed towards an external entity, further investigation revealed that the tokens were sent to an address associated with Binance’s hot wallet for storing XRP.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 20,620,032 #XRP<\/a> (10,572,279 USD) transferred from #Binance<\/a> to unknown wallethttps:\/\/t.co\/PoVVjUt5KO<\/a><\/p>\nSource: Santiment<\/pre>\n
