The market commentator warned that the Ripple co-founder is selling his XRP holdings to unsuspecting retail investors. Accordingly, he urged investors to reconsider buying XRP. It is worth mentioning that Larsen has sold significant amounts of XRP this year. According to a July 17 report by The crypto Basic, Larsen has offloaded approximately 106 million XRP, worth $344 million at the time, since January 1, 2025.  The report suggested that the Ripple chairman transferred most of these funds to liquid exchanges, such as Coinbase. At the moment, he has an estimated net worth of $9 billion with about 2.8 billion XRP tokens.
