Ripple is set to release one billion

From its escrow account in July 2025, continuing the monthly scheduled release that the company launched in 2017.

As is customary, this release is expected on July 1, 2025, in line with Ripple's practice of releasing one billion tokens on the first day of each month, with no announced changes during July. Ripple follows the usual pattern of releasing one billion from the escrow account, where "the escrow account mechanism remains unchanged" and continues its regular monthly schedule.

In other words, the escrow release in July will continue as usual, adhering to the long-term plan to release controlled inventory.

Given that digital assets are currently trading at $2.18 at the time of publication, the value of one billion tokens will amount to $2.8 billion.

Escrow release and re-lock in June 2025

The total escrow opening transactions at Ripple on June 1, 2025 (400 million + 500 million + 100 million XRP) amounted to 1,000,000,000 XRP released from escrow.

The escrow opening process at Ripple in June 2025 showed the usual pattern: one billion XRP was released at the beginning of the month (divided into several transactions), then most of it was returned to escrow. Specifically, Ripple re-escrowed about 670 million XRP during June, meaning that about 330 million XRP from the June release has already been added to trading or used in Ripple operations.

This outcome, with about a third of the released XRP entering the market and the remainder being re-locked, aligns with Ripple's routine. The company regularly re-secures between 60% and 70% of the amount available monthly to maintain a predictable supply, using only about 30% to 40% for liquidity, operational expenses, and partnerships.

As a result, the net increase in circulating supply (about 330 million XRP) in June was in line with expectations.

Rumors about the U.S. government seizing the XRP held by Ripple

In late June 2025, speculation spread on social media that the U.S. government plans to seize the XRP held by Ripple to use as a national cryptocurrency reserve.

However, no credible evidence emerged to support these claims, and they were quickly debunked by official sources.

Bill Morgan, Ripple's legal counsel, publicly denied the takeover rumor, responding: "No, that won't happen" when asked if the government would seize the XRP held.
