As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience navigating the digital asset market, I’ve learned to approach every piece of news with a healthy dose of skepticism and curiosity. The recent transfer of 11 million XRP from South Korea’s largest exchange, Upbit, is no exception.
Based on a report from Whale Alert, a significant transfer of XRP tokens occurred, moving from South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit. According to blockchain data from an explorer, approximately 11 million XRP, valued at roughly $28.11 million, were sent from Upbit’s wallet “rDxJNb” to an unidentified recipient using the address “r325zs.
Based on information from Bithomp, the explorer for the XRP ledger, an unknown address received 11 XRP in October. The identity of the sender is not known. Typically, such transfers involve entities connected to cryptocurrency, like Ripple or Bitstamp. It’s possible that this wallet could be owned by Upbit, as the pattern and type of transactions hint at this possibility. Nevertheless, this remains a puzzle and warrants further exploration.
This transaction sparked considerable curiosity for several reasons. Initially, large-scale withdrawals from centralized exchanges are often viewed as an indication of accumulation by major investors, or “whales,” in the cryptocurrency market. Given the substantial price increase of approximately 500% for XRP since early November, such a significant transfer might motivate others to follow and purchase more XRP.

The occurrence of the event on one of Korea’s prominent exchanges certainly increases curiosity, given the unanticipated fluctuations in Xuptbit this week and Korea’s well-known interest in XRP among investors. This situation presents two subtle yet potentially positive indicators for XRP.
For many, it may be enough to interpret this as “Korean whales are accumulating millions of XRP,” but like everything else in the crypto market, it’s just a surface, and deeper research needs to be done before jumping in.
