XRP volume drops as wallet makes moves

Additionally, an analysis of the volume chart highlighted a significant surge on 6th March, with the volume reaching over $4.6 billion. This marked a decrease from the over $5 billion recorded on 5th March.
However, trading activities have slowed at the time of this writing, with the volume dropping to around $2.8 billion.
