According to blockchain explorer XRP Scan, the Ripple founder made his last XRP transfer of 1.1 million XRP (worth $394,742.18) at 6:31 a.m. UTC on July 17.
A few hours later, the account listed the transaction as “CLEAR ACCOUNT,” which means the account will no longer exist on XRP’s ledger.
This transaction marks the end of the 9 billion XRP sell-off initiated by McCaleb after leaving Ripple Labs in 2014.
The amount McCaleb has sold over the past eight years represents approximately 18.6% of the total circulating supply of XRP and has been considered welcome news by the crypto community.
XRP price is currently at $0.3646, up 4.78% over the past 24 hours. The asset is down nearly 90% from its January 2018 all-time high of $3.40.
Ripple Labs has been embroiled in a lawsuit filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since late 2020, the SEC alleges that Ripple and its executives offered XRP as illegal securities.
