$XRP Moves Quietly — Ripple CTO Says Price Isn’t the Signal
XRP’s price stayed relatively calm, but the ledger told a different story.
Within a short time frame, 95 million XRP was transferred three times, each transaction worth roughly $183 -184 million. All movements occurred from unknown wallets to unknown wallets, with no exchange involvement and no visible selling pressure.
This matters in light of a recent statement by Ripple CTO David Schwartz, who emphasized that price action does not reflect real adoption. According to him, liquidity and on-chain activity are the true indicators, while price usually reacts later.
These transfers align with that view.
If this were preparation for selling, the XRP would likely have moved to exchange wallets first it didn’t.
If this were panic-driven activity, the transactions would appear rushed or fragmented they weren’t.
Instead, the movements were clean, structured, and repeated, suggesting wallet reorganization, custody shifts, or OTC positioning, not immediate liquidation.
While charts remain slow and market sentiment feels quiet, nearly $550 million worth of XRP quietly changed hands.
The CTO points to activity.
Whales move activity.
Price often follows later.
Sometimes, the real signal isn’t on the chart it’s on the ledger.
