It seems that Ripple continues testing its new product despite the fact that it has already been listed by several large cryptocurrency exchanges and is already circulating on the market.

Before today, the most recent mint and burn took place on April 23, when Ripple issued and also burned 12,000,000 RLUSD.

$65,353,715 in XRP anonymously go to Coinbase

Prominent blockchain tracker Whale Alert, which monitors large cryptocurrency transfers and shares their details on its website and X profile, has informed the XRP community about a massive transaction that took place roughly 17 hours ago.

🚨 🚨 🚨 29,532,534 #XRP (65,353,715 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Coinbasehttps://t.co/kOcM8E9cSd

According to the post published by this data source, an anonymous wallet owner transferred 29,532,534 XRP to the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange by trading volume – Coinbase.

Some crypto enthusiasts stated in the comments that this was most likely a whale selling XRP. However, data shared by XRPscan refuted that assumption. According to it, this transaction was initiated by Coinbase itself, which makes this an internal transfer as Coinbase was reshuffling its XRP holdings, spreading them among its own wallets.
