One Of The Most Influential XRP Advocate Dumps 6.2 Million XRP

Stellar Rippler (@StellarNews007), an XRP-focused account on X, published a post suggesting that Pumpius (@pumpius), a major XRP enthusiast, sold approximately 6.2 million XRP. Stellar Rippler backed this bold assertion with on-chain data showing transactions from a wallet allegedly linked to Pumpius.

The Claim and the Evidence Presented

According to Stellar Rippler, public XRPL data suggest a balance reduction of roughly 6.2 million XRP around November 12, 2025. The post included an image displaying recent transactions tied to the inferred address. One entry shows a validated payment with a change of -6.2 million XRP. Two earlier entries show incoming payments of +222.8k XRP and +625.7k XRP.

Stellar Rippler emphasized that the wallet connection to Pumpius is inferred. The size of the transaction also stood out. Stellar Rippler described the move as eyebrow-raising due to the figure involved and the individual believed to be connected to it.

Stellar Rippler also questioned why a move of that size would occur at that moment if the inference proved accurate. Many advocates have advised against selling XRP, and this decision raised speculation on Pumpius’ motives.

🚨 BREAKING: One Of The Most Influential XRP Advocate @Pumpius DUMPED ~6.2 MILLION XRP?

Based on public XRPL balance changes (not a confirmed wallet, just inference from wallet balance), it appears that around 6.2M XRP may have been sold on Nov 12, 2025.

Focus on Pumpius and Public Statements

Pumpius has a reputation as a long-term and outspoken supporter of XRP. Stellar Rippler referenced that public posture. The post noted that Pumpius has consistently promoted patience and conviction within the XRP community.

An image attached to the post also showed a prior statement from Pumpius dated September 9. In that post, Pumpius revealed that his holdings had risen above $18.5 million. Stellar Rippler used this image to contextualize the scale of holdings discussed and to explain why this sale was unexpected.

The post questioned why such a move would happen there and why that size mattered. This move also coincided with bearish XRP predictions, and Stellar Rippler asked what knowledge might have influenced Pumpius’ timing.

What Does this Mean for XRP?

Stellar Rippler clearly labeled the post as a question, stating, “Not an accusation, a question.” He also noted that large XRP promoters do not make moves like this without a reason, and this sale has prompted speculation of a potential bearish test.

As it stands, the situation rests on inference and public ledger data. No confirmation exists that the wallet belongs to Pumpius or that a sale occurred. Stellar Rippler’s post placed those uncertainties front and center while highlighting why the data has drawn attention within the XRP community.
