teddybear Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hi all Say someone got in early and real cheap in XRP and is sitting now on XRP with a total USD value of say 6 million. 1.How would you liquidate that? (What exchange or gateway?) 2. Wire transfer to bank: How to? NB: not talking about me here obv. I have raised this question on another blog post, but I was basically talking to myself. Any thoughts? Thank you for your inputs. Global 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 look at exchanges with the best volume / market thickness, compare volumes and other fees, rates, quality of service, reputation etc consider splitting the withdrawals over multiple exchanges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Bitstamp could be one of them. Sell XRP for USD and withdraw to your bank account. Expect to be asked a loooot of questions. Another way would be to convert XRP to BTC and send them to one of the big exchanges and cash out there. As @zerpdigger suggested, split it over multiple exchanges. Or wait for SBI VC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides I've heard terrible things about Bitstamp withdrawls What are one of the big BTC exchanges, where I could cash out with less questions?

Thank you for your inputs. Seems like your problem is rather how to withdraw USD ? I would say, the same way as you did the deposits, but now with larger amounts... I've done already a some important withdrawals of EUR/USD on Bitstamp and Gatehub and they all went flawless. One must understand that for every USD/EUR one trades (and hold) another one has made a deposit and those EUR/USD must be somewhere on the accounts of the exchange. A trustful exchange should hold 100% of the IOU's (while banks usually do only 15%). So an exchange "run for fiat" shouldn't be a bit of a problem.... wiredless1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pleasant experiences with both Bitstamp and Gatehub. Besides that they once in a while may ask you for some additional KYC registration or information (can be annoying, but they have to follow the rules), there shouldn't be a bit of a problem as they acted always very professional and fast, both of them! wiredless1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't ask you how much, but you think above mentioned figure should be OK? Any problems with your bank? Re the quote: what if people have been buying crypto against fiat a long time ago and now are just "funding" the exchange accounts to trade it back against fiat. Woukdn't that be a problem?

You mentioned 6M .... I doubt it will be a problem as both Gatehub and Bitstamp don't have a limit on withdrawals for FULL registered KYC registration. When you talk about serious amounts, they of course have to follow more tight rulings about not sending capitals to "dark individuals". For that reason they may ask you some additional details about "who you are and where you live" before sending the (big) amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
