โค 1 Billion XRP is Coming This Weekend
Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP tokens on June 1, continuing its monthly escrow release cycle.
At current prices, thatโs over $2.3 billion worth of XRP โ one of the largest dollar-value unlocks this year.
๐ Whatโs the Concern?
โค The unlocked amount equals ~2% of total supply
โค Itโs also a significant portion of the circulating supply
โค Traders fear short-term volatility or sell pressure due to the scale
๐ง What Usually Happens?
โค Ripple often re-locks 60%โ70% of each monthly release
โค Only a fraction enters circulation
โค Remaining XRP supports:
โโโข Partnerships
โโโข Ecosystem growth
โโโข Strategic reserves
๐ Will Price Be Affected?
โค The $2.3B headline sounds dramaticโฆ
โค But historically, XRP price barely reacts
โค Unless Ripple changes its re-lock strategy, the net impact may be minor
๐ Key Takeaway
โค Focus less on the size of the unlockโฆ
โค And more on Rippleโs actual actions
โค If they stick to the script, the market won't feel the full $2.3B impact
๐ง Markets move on behavior, not just numbers. Watch what Ripple does โ not just whatโs unlocked.
