According to a report from Whale Alert, nearly 18.81 million XRP, which is practically equivalent to $25.03 million, have been transferred from the platform of the world's largest crypto exchange to an unknown destination.
Such transfers often cause excitement in the community as, according to popular belief, large withdrawals from centralized exchanges are often initiated by whales to store their purchased tokens in noncustodial proprietary wallets. On the other hand, these movements are conversely perceived as the desire of a large player to sell its assets on a more liquid platform, such as Binance.

What can we say about the recipient? Whale Alert identifies the wallet as unknown.

From all indications, it is likely that the exchange's movement of funds between its wallets is due to "internal housekeeping" and operational activities.
Whether we can expect more similar moves from Binance remains to be seen.

However, it is necessary to be vigilant and aware of what, where and when in order not to fall victim to market manipulation.
