Deep-pocketed crypto whales are moving over $130 million worth of Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP as crypto markets plateau this week.
An unknown wallet sent 150 million DOGE worth more than $20.7 million to another unknown wallet on Tuesday, according to the blockchain-tracking platform Whale Alert.

XRP whales were also on the move: In between those two Dogecoin whale transactions, another unknown wallet sent the crypto exchange Bitstamp 60 million XRP worth more than $28.03 million.
A few seconds later, Bitstamp sent a separate unknown wallet with more than 60.9 million XRP worth more than $28.4 million.
Bitstamp wasn’t the only exchange dealing with large amounts of XRP this week. An unknown wallet sent Bitso 30 million XRP worth more than $13.88 million.
