Ripple Confuses Markets: Sudden Halt of XRP Issuances Amid Mysterious Movements

• Ripple did not issue XRP in August 2025 for the first time since 2018, raising speculation about a halt in monthly issuances.

• Nevertheless, it recently returned 700 million XRP to escrow, indicating a potential deferred issuance.

• The price of XRP rose by 4% to $3.07, but market whales sold 640 million XRP since July, keeping the short-term outlook cautious.

• The price needs to stay above $3.00 to avoid a return to $2.90 or lower.
