Whale Alert has reported that 170 million XRP has been re-locked into Ripple's escrow system — a move that aligns with their long-term supply strategy.
🔁 Each month, Ripple unlocks 1 billion XRP, uses what’s needed, and returns the rest to escrow. This month’s unused 170M was sent back, reducing potential sell pressure.
💡 Why it matters:
Ensures predictable XRP supply
Boosts market transparency
Reflects controlled token management amid SEC drama & global expansion
While XRP's price wasn’t directly impacted, this event signals Ripple’s steady approach to long-term value and trust in the ecosystem.
