What is this $119M XRP Coinbase transfer ?

Nearly 89.8 million XRP moved from a private wallet to Coinbase via an intermediary — a classic whale transaction tracked by Whale Alert.

Does XRP whale move to Coinbase mean a sell-off?

Often yes, as it boosts liquidity for selling, but could also signal repositioning, OTC trades, or custody shifts — intent's unclear.

XRP's at $1.33, down 60% from 2025 peak; more inflows might pressure it, but no mass selling yet means hold tight.
