Ripple-linked reports show XRP Ledger activity jump, escrow-release filing, and large whale outflows
Ripple-related activity and token pricing were reported alongside on-chain growth metrics: XRP was reported trading at $1.43, while one dataset cited in reporting showed XRP Ledger active addresses rising from 47,180 to 356,070 between August 10 and August 24 (a 650% increase) [1].
A securities filing referenced by Finbold was reported to suggest Ripple could release more than its typical monthly XRP supply from escrow, contingent on U.S. lawmakers passing the CLARITY Act, with the potential release described as over 1 billion XRP per month [2].
Separate market-flow reporting stated that XRP whale withdrawals from Binance totaled 231 million tokens in a single day, described as the highest single-day total in six months, and characterized the outflow as $335 million versus an approximately $40 million 90-day daily average [3].
The same market-flow report also said XRP futures volume reached $11.37 billion and described it as a six-month peak for derivatives activity [3].
A separate report said former X product head Nikita Bier confirmed that crypto trade buttons are coming, referencing Cashtags and embedded market charts, and stated that users could potentially buy assets including XRP, BTC, and ETH; the report also noted that X had not publicly confirmed its complete list of supported assets and that regulatory and regional requirements could affect availability, including via licensed partners for identity checks, custody, and processing [4].
