Judging by data from XRPscan, in the past 10 days, former Ripple CTO and one of the company's cofounders, Jed McCaleb, has released over 200 million XRP coins from his remaining stash to be sold.

McCaleb sells another big XRP lump

Data provided by the XRPscan service that tracks XRP transactions demonstrates that, since April 15, Jed McCaleb—who helped found Ripple Labs in 2012—has made 11 transactions from his "tacostand" XRP wallet, pushing over 202 million XRP to be sold.

This is the equivalent of $231,899,940 in fiat.

"Tacostand" was set up in 2013 when McCaleb left Ripple Labs to found his own blockchain platform, Stellar, with native coin XLM, a Ripple rival.

One of the settlement agreement's provisions is that McCaleb must sell his XRP only in small parts; dumping the entire nine billion coins that he received as compensation was forbidden by the agreement from the very beginning.

Jed's XRP holdings are shrinking

Now, Jed has less than two billion XRP coins left, with the current balance in his wallet of 322,309,116.962079 XRP.

Blockchain researcher and analyst Leonidas Hadjiloizou expects McCaleb to sell approximately 22.6 million XRP on a daily basis, which means that the Ripple cofounder may run out of his remaining two billion coins by August-September this year.

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

By
If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

By
  Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...
