Ripple has once again shifted the timing of its regular XRP release. Instead of the usual first day of the month—when the company typically unlocks one billion tokens from escrow—it did so on June 4th, marking the third consecutive delay.
This move breaks from a routine Ripple had followed since late 2017, consistently releasing tokens on the 1st of each month for over six years. But starting in March of this year, the company began changing its approach.
📅 New XRP Issuance Pattern
In March, Ripple adopted a new approach — instead of unlocking a fresh billion tokens, the company moved part of its existing XRP holdings into new escrow contracts. This strategy was repeated in both April and May.
June 1st also marked the 13th anniversary of the XRP token. On that day, Ripple placed 670 million tokens into escrow, but the actual unlocking of 1 billion XRP was postponed until June 4th.
📉 End of Monthly XRP Reports
Ripple also announced it will discontinue its regular monthly XRP reports. Instead, updates will now be issued occasionally via blog posts and social media.
In its latest quarterly report, Ripple revealed it holds 4.5 billion XRP tokens. An additional 37.1 billion XRP remains locked in the company’s escrow wallets as of March 31st.
