The data clearly shows that McCaleb has no plans to stop his selling intent. The token has seen a downfall in price compared to previous years, now selling less than 3$. Despite the recent lawsuit presented against ripple by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, McCaleb hasn’t shown any signs of reluctance in selling out the XRP tokens, meaning that He just wants to get rid of them now. The lawsuit mentioned that two of Ripple’s executives have been able to earn more than $1.3Billion using an offering that was unregistered on the network.
Environmental Issues
The value of the XRP token was also affected by the recent huge market drop regarding the concern of Bitcoin’s negative Carbon emission rate. Because of this, more and more investors are switching to more environmentally friendly and energy-saving cryptocurrencies. According to some reports, Ripple stated last month that the company would be completely carbon-free by the year 2030.
