Meanwhile, Ripple is firing off millions of dollars in XRP. In total, the company has moved 161 million XRP worth about $52 million in four separate transactions.

Two of those transactions were sent to unknown wallets from Ripple’s over-the-counter operation, which the company uses to sell XRP to institutions.
