Ripple Cuts Down The XRP Quarterly Dumping By $53 Million

Ripple cuts down on the XRP quarterly dumping by $53 million and the platform released the report for its operations in the last quarter for 2019 and the final period for the year saw Ripple limit its selling of XRP from its escrow stash as we are reading further in the Ripple news.

As per the reports, XRP is stabilized around $0.22 right after the recent price drop and now the attention is focused on the latest quarterly report so, in the past three months of 2019, ripple sold about $13.08 million in XRP which is down by 80 percent from the $66.2 million during the previous quarter. This was the first time that Ripple made the executive decision to return XRP released from escrow so beyond the OTC ripple has reserved some of the coins for distribution and partnerships.

The slower sales that have the most XRP escrow tranches remained lock, arrived just in time to stem the price drop and XRP dropped down to $0.18 during the fall of 2019 which is when Bitcoin dropped and dragged all the assets with it. In the latest reports, Ripple commented on the situation and volumes that could affect the real valuation of XRP so, in addition to seeking a true measure of volume, Ripple was committed to slowing down its programmatic selling and boosting the trust in XRP. One of the major concerns for XRP adoption was the fact that Ripple had 50 billion coins in an Escrow account and chose to sell up to 1 billion coins per month.

The low trading volumes in Q4 happened because of a change in the reporting methodology as per the CoinMarketCap recalculated volumes thus excluding exchanges where it had doubts about the inflated activity which limited the volumes of XRP to about $1.5 billion per day. Ripple cuts down on its quarterly dumping since the last quarter of 2019 also saw the prices stabilize with a volatility index were similar to the ones of bitcoin at about 3 percent. Based on the CCTT’s closing price of the coin, the volatility of XRP daily returns over Q4 was 3.1% which is a drop in volatility from Q3’s 3.6%. Ripple’s volatility in the quarter was similar to the one of Bitcoin and of Ethereum.
