🚨 1 BILLION XRP UNLOCKED: Market Panic or Just Another Monday? 🚨

Woke up to the alerts—Ripple just hit the "unlock" button on another 1 billion $XRP tokens right at the stroke of midnight. 🧊 Every time this happens, the FUD starts flying faster than a degen on 100x leverage, so let’s look at the actual data before we all start panic-selling our bags.

Here’s the breakdown of what just happened:

The Split: 1B tokens moved across Ripple (24) and Ripple (25) wallets (looks like a slightly different split than the usual 28/9 from last year). 💼

The Precision: Three transactions, literally seconds apart. It's that same automated escrow clockwork we’ve seen since 2017. ⏱️

The Status: Tokens are sitting tight... for now.

My Take (after 15 years in the trenches):
Listen, history is our best teacher here. Typically, Ripple re-locks about 60% to 80% of these tokens within 24–48 hours. Last month (Dec 2025), they re-escrowed roughly 700M.

The real pressure isn't the unlock itself—it’s the technicals. XRP is fighting to hold that key $1.87 support zone right now. With the $3 predictions from some "high IQ" analysts failing recently, the market is definitely a bit jumpy.

Strategy: Don't trade the headline; trade the re-lock. Watch Whale Alert over the next 12 hours. If we don’t see that 700M-800M go back into escrow, then we can talk about supply pressure. Until then, stay calm and keep your eyes on the chart. 📊

What do you think? Is this the month Ripple finally dumps a larger portion to fund ODL, or are we heading for another 80% re-lock? 👇
