Earlier today, the Whale Alert Twitter page published data about a 25-mlnXRP transferred. Just like on December 1, when 1 bln XRP was released from Ripple'sescrow vault, the community is again talking of an upcoming price dump, since more coins are obviouslyabout to be injected to the market.

Whale Alert reports that 25 mln XRP (thats $5,365,381) has been sent from Binance to Coinbase earlier today.

Every month, Ripple, which has 55 percent of the total XRP supply in control, unlocks 1 bln coins. Many believe that it is preventing the XRP price from surging. On December 1, onebln XRP was unlocked again and the community went mad, accusing Ripple and its co-founder Jed McCaleb now also the founder of Stellar Lumens since he regularly receives enormous XRP payments from Ripple.

This time, however, the 25 mln XRP transfer was made from Binance to Coinbase. Even though, one Twitter user commented that the sender may be using Coinbase for its custodial services, the majority of users believe that the XRP price will be forced to plunge soon.

Recently, U.Today reported that a crypto influencer @Crypto_bitlord accused Ripple of using XRP for purchasing real lifebusiness. As an example he referred to MoneyGram, saying that now after the recent investment Ripple owns a 10-percent stake at this global remittance giant.

Previously, when standing up to these accusations on Twitter, the CEO Brad Garlinghlouse told the community that these XRP sales are used for improving the Ripple ecosystem.
