Ripple’s native crypto, XRP is once again in the spotlight, grappling with intense market volatility. Notably, the token is facing challenges to maintain its position above the $0.5 price level.

According to Whale Alert’s data, 30.32 million XRP, worth $15.07 million, was offloaded to Bitstamp, a Luxembourg City-based crypto exchange, today, June 10. The renowned XRP whale, Rzn, made this transaction.
