In August 2025, Ripple, for the first time since 2018, did not release XRP from the escrow fund, although on-chain data shows that the company still transferred 700 million XRP into escrow, bringing the total locked to 36.6 billion. This move indicates that the halt in unlocking may only be temporary, reflecting a flexible supply management strategy.

XRP price increased by over 4% to 3.07 USD in the past 24 hours, but whales have sold off 640 million XRP (~1.91 billion USD) since the beginning of July, primarily in the price range of 2.28–3.54 USD. If support at 3 USD is lost, the price may retreat to 2.90 USD or lower.

Analysts' observations: Ripple continues to maintain control over supply, while profit-taking pressure from whales may cause short-term volatility.
