Draper's Bitcoin Bet Pays Off 15x as Whales Make Big Moves on XRP Amid Ripple Settlement Hopes

• Tim Draper revealed he invested 300 BTC in a startup 4% stake, earning 15 BTC (worth 15x in dollars) in 10 years. This validates his bitcoin inflation hedge and $250k prediction.

• Despite Ethereum's price dipping recently, a metric tracking ETH whale transactions is rising. This could signal confidence in long-term prospects.

• 16 million XRP moved from Upbit exchange to an unknown wallet in one transaction, sparking speculation of whale accumulation.

• Soon after, 18 million XRP was moved from Upbit to an unknown wallet in another large transaction.

• The XRP transactions coincide with reports of a potential Ripple-SEC settlement, so whales may be buying in anticipation.
