Bot analyses the major transactions that took place

In its analysis, XRPL Monitor said a total of 14.5 million XRP was sent to a wallet that is owned by the previous Ripple CEO, Jed McCaleb. 

Furthermore, the XRPL Monitor noticed that another transaction took place with Chris Larsen being the sender as he made two separate transactions of 7.5 million XRP each to a wallet in the Coinbase Pro exchange. 

XRPL Monitor also announced that another transaction was carried out, but this time it was between two wallets belonging to the payments platform. The last transaction that was carried out was said to have been worth 10 million XRP.

Former Ripple CEO still receiving massive payments from Ripple

As part of a long-standing settlement agreement, McCaleb has continued to receive payments from Ripple since 2013. Not long ago, the previous Ripple CEO sent about 6.1 million XRP to Tacostand with the intent of exchanging it for cash. 

At the beginning of this week, McCaleb got a payment from Ripple which was said to be worth $17 million. With Jed receiving hefty XRP payments, he has done little to push the price of XRP as he cashes out just a small portion of the payments he gets.
