Ripple is preparing for its routine monthly release of 1 billion XRP tokens from escrow. While this is a standard, pre-scheduled event designed to manage XRP's supply and fund ecosystem development, it can prompt market speculation. Historically, Ripple re-locks a significant portion of these tokens, with only a percentage entering circulation for operational expenses and liquidity. Investors typically monitor these unlocks for potential short-term price volatility, though Ripple maintains its strategy promotes long-term stability and growth for the XRP ecosystem.$XRP
