This latest development marks a subtle shift in Ripple’s usual escrow release pattern. Since 2017, the company has reliably released 1 billion $XRP on the first day of each month. However, this time, the release occurred on May 3, 2025, two days later than usual.
According to on-chain tracker Whale Alert, the 1 billion $XRP was distributed in three separate transactions:
500 million $XRP
300 million $XRP
200 million $XRP
At current market value, the total release exceeds $2.2 billion USD.
Whale Alert confirmed that all three transactions originated from Ripple’s designated escrow wallets.
Ripple’s escrow system, established in 2017, was created to ensure a steady and predictable supply of XRP—aimed at enhancing liquidity and maintaining price stability. The original plan locked 55 billion XRP, with 1 billion set to be released each month over a period of 55 months.
Now, with this significant release, questions linger:
Will Ripple sell the unlocked XRP? Or is this a strategic move to support future partnerships and liquidity pools?
