“Jed tried to dump his XRP quickly and Ripple acted to stop him through a series of lawsuits. Thanks to Ripple’s refusal, Jed’s XRP will probably be worth more than $1 billion. He will probably be the only person to become a self-made billionaire despite his best efforts,” this was Ripple’s current CTO’s comment in 2017 about the former Ripple CTO Jed McCaleb.
The current market turbulence didn’t really affect Jed McCaleb, XRP dumping pattern. Even though the current market has resulted in a 27% decline in his wealth, his XRP selling splurge continues.
Now according to XRPScan, McCaled sold nearly 275 million XRP since the start of this month which comprised of seven outgoing transactions of 17,301,056 XRP, another seven of 13,398,341 XRP, and six transfers of 10,008,592 XRP.
