In a notable deviation from its usual schedule, Ripple has unlocked 1 billion XRP from escrow, sparking speculation of a potential sell-off. Blockchain tracker Whale Alert reported that the release occurred on May 3, 2025, through three transactions—500 million, 300 million, and 200 million XRP—totaling over $2.2 billion at current market prices.
This release, two days later than Ripple's traditional monthly schedule, marks a rare shift in the company’s pattern. Since 2017, Ripple has consistently released 1 billion XRP on the first of each month as part of its plan to manage XRP supply and support market liquidity.
The escrow system was initially introduced with 55 billion XRP, set to release 1 billion monthly over 55 months, ensuring transparency and predictability in XRP’s circulation.
