It looks like a number of transactions seem to be Ripple itself moving some of its massive XRP holdings. As you all know, Ripple owns 60% of the total supply, and the vast majority of the amount is locked in escrow.

Ripple usually sells its XRP OTC (over-the-counter). Just a little while ago, the company announced that it managed to double its XRP sales in the third quarter of 2018 and it sold a total of $163.33 million worth of XRP, compared to $73.53 million from the second quarter of this year.

The main reason for this increase might be thanks to sales that are made directly to institutions. Ripple sold $98.06 million to institutions which is a lot compared to $16.87 million from the Q2 2018.

Ripple is rolling out xCurrent 4.0

Ripple is currently rolling out a new version of its popular product xCurrent, version 4.0.

Ripple’s latest version of xCurrent is the main SWIFT competitor, and it’s more closely integrated with xRapid, Ripple’s XRP-powered product.

Oracle Times reported that Ripple SVP of product Asheesh Birla explained some details about xCurrent to CoinDesk:

“What this release enables you to do is that in countries where you think it’s appropriate and xRapid’s available, using your xCurrent software, you can now plug into on-demand liquidity using xRapid.”

Ripple’s chief market strategist Cory Johnson has recently highlighted that Ripple plans to bring the world’s financial system into the 21^st century.
