The Ripple co-founder has regularly sold off his XRP holdings for eight years, starting in 2014.
Ripple co-founder Jed McCaleb, who left the company in 2014 with a huge 9 billion XRP package as part of the settlement for severing ties, has sold the last of that haul.

The tacostand wallet has a balance of 47.69 XRP.
