Whale alerts began to blare across the cryptosphere yesterday after Paxos minted 300 trillion of PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, valued at over double global GDP. The tokens were burned 22 minutes later, but many were left worried by Paxos’ ability to create such an unfeasible quantity of tokens out of thin air. The official response did little to address concerns. At 3:12 PM EST, Paxos mistakenly minted excess PYUSD as part of an internal transfer. Paxos immediately identified the error and burned the excess PYUSD. This was an internal technical error. There is no security breach. Customer funds are safe.

According to data from Whale Alert on October 13, a total of 23,880,253 XRP (worth approximately $62.64 million) was transferred from an unknown wallet to the Binance exchange. 23,880,253 #XRP (62,640,879 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Binancehttps://t.co/U6NmXuYZyj — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) October 13, 2025 Large transfers like this often indicate that whales may be preparing to sell, which can weigh on market sentiment and price stability.  The move comes as XRP trades around $2.50, following a sharp drop triggered by the broader market crash on October 10.
