David Schwartz, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, recently stirred excitement within the XRP community with a playful and seemingly cryptic tweet.
Coming on the heels of a notable 13% weekend rally in XRP’s value, his post prompted speculation about what could be next for the cryptocurrency. The tweet featured an image of a bubble solution labeled “Pre-Mix Bubble Solution,” claiming to produce “10x times the bubbles.” Schwartz humorously pointed out the redundancy of the phrase “10x times,” but the community took the post in a different direction. Enthusiasts began interpreting it as a subtle hint toward a tenfold increase in XRP’s price, with some even speculating about a potential $10 target.
Amid the online chatter, significant activity involving XRP transfers added fuel to the speculation. Ripple was observed moving substantial amounts of XRP over the weekend. Blockchain tracker Whale Alert flagged two major transactions, totaling 90 million XRP. These transfers, valued at approximately $200 million, were sent to unidentified wallets. The first involved 50 million XRP worth over $111 million, followed shortly by a 40 million XRP transfer valued at nearly $90 million.
This flurry of movement wasn’t limited to Ripple alone. Whale Alert also recorded additional large-scale XRP transactions, amounting to a staggering 182 million XRP over a single day. These transfers, collectively valued at around $411 million, hinted at significant behind-the-scenes activity, leaving the XRP community buzzing with anticipation about what might be driving these moves.
With both a rally in price and a surge in transactions, XRP enthusiasts are eagerly watching for further developments. Schwartz’s seemingly innocent post and Ripple’s major transfers have combined to reignite discussions about the cryptocurrency’s future potential.
