- Chris Larsen, Ripple co-founder, transferred millions of XRP to exchanges, sparking community debate.
- Remi Relief claims the move is a strategic supply rebalance to meet rising institutional needs and avoid liquidity issues.
- Potential catalysts like Fed rate cuts, SEC settlement, and a BlackRock XRP ETF are seen as aligning to create a “perfect storm.”
36crypto recently reported that Chris Larsen, co-founder and executive chairman of Ripple Labs, once again moved millions of XRP tokens to cryptocurrency exchanges, reigniting debate across the XRP community.
While some investors interpret the transfers as a bearish signal, others, notably prominent XRP advocate The Real Remi Relief (@RemiReliefX), argue this is the “most bullish XRP news yet.”
According to on-chain data and community reports, substantial amounts of XRP were sent from Larsen-linked wallets to various exchanges in recent days. The timing of the movement has triggered speculation, concern, and in some cases, outright panic among XRP holders. But Remi Relief is urging calm and even celebration.
Supply Rebalancing to Meet Institutional Demand?
In a viral tweet, Remi Relief reframed the narrative: “He is putting the XRP into circulation to meet the upcoming demand… There’s not enough XRP out in the wild. The institutions all need it or it won’t function as intended.”

The XRP Ledger, which aims to support fast, scalable cross-border transactions, is believed to require broad distribution among institutions to function as designed. Relief emphasized that the network’s efficiency depends on three key elements: high volume, a substantial price, and even distribution across holders.

Without this equilibrium, he argues, institutional use cases, such as interbank transfers, could face serious liquidity friction.
Some Panic, Others See a Setup for a Supply Shock
While skeptics question the optics of large token transfers from Ripple-affiliated figures, Relief says the reaction is missing the bigger picture.
“Some people are panicking while I’m jumping up and down… He is supplying the exchanges,” he tweeted.
He previously warned of an XRP supply shock, citing declining reserves on centralized exchanges. According to him, the recent transfers may be Ripple’s way of preemptively rebalancing liquidity as interest builds, not a dump.
“The exchanges are almost out of XRP… a supply shock is still coming. It’s been delayed a little, but it will come,” he added.
A Perfect Storm Brewing?
Looking ahead, Relief pointed to several macro and regulatory events that could amplify XRP’s trajectory, including potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, a possible SEC settlement with Ripple, speculation about a BlackRock XRP ETF, and an anticipated July 30 U.S. government report potentially favorable to crypto.
“If Powell lowers rates, SEC settles, BlackRock ETF is announced, and the USA Gov report comes out with positive info… You won’t know what to do with the money,” he predicted.
Bottom Line: HODL and Chill
Remi Relief’s final message was clear: “Just BUY HOLD SECURE. FOMC & SEC are upcoming. Cold Wallet and Relax!”
While uncertainty continues to define the broader crypto market, the XRP community remains characteristically divided but energized. Whether Larsen’s token transfers mark the beginning of a bullish breakout or a cautionary signal remains to be seen.
