In a Wednesday report, ZachXBT claimed that hackers stole around 213 million XRP, valued at approximately $112 million, from one of Ripple’s wallets.
The detective also noted that the criminals have begun laundering the stolen funds through major centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance and Kraken.

Following the news, the price of XRP dropped by approximately 5% within an hour and is currently trading at $0.5.
