According to Whale Alert, Ripple released 1 billion XRP on November 1 and then quickly locked back 700 million XRP (worth around $1.75B) into escrow in two separate transactions — one of 500 million and another of 200 million $XRP .
Here’s the twist — Ripple still hasn’t done its usual monthly escrow release yet. Normally, they unlock 1 billion XRP at the start of every month like clockwork. But this time, the delay has the whole XRP community watching closely to see what’s going on. 👀
👉 How Ripple’s Escrow Works:
Back in 2017, Ripple set up an escrow system to make XRP supply predictable. They locked away 55 billion #XRP (over half the total supply) and programmed 1 billion tokens to unlock every month. Whatever Ripple doesn’t use gets locked back up again. This keeps the market stable and prevents any sudden XRP dumps.
So while this latest 700M lock-up fits their pattern, the missing 1B unlock is raising eyebrows. Ripple might just be running late, as they sometimes are, but traders are watching for any signs of change.
👉 What’s Next for XRP?
Despite all this, XRP’s price is holding strong around $2.51 (+0.41%). Ripple’s habit of re-locking unused #XRP keeps supply shocks in check and boosts investor confidence.
Many believe Ripple’s escrow model is key to XRP’s price stability — and once that 1B unlock happens, it could reaffirm faith in the system. For now, this unusual 1.2B XRP movement is definitely one of the most interesting things Ripple’s done in months. 💥
