📊📆Token unlock: manipulation or support of XRP?

According to Ripple's terms, the scheduled release of these 55 billion XRP is presented as a secure procedure, aimed at "eliminating any concern that [it] could flood the market." With the main stated objective of enhancing the liquidity of its cryptocurrency.

At the time of writing, there are still 35 billion XRP held in escrow in Ripple's accounts. It should be noted that these 1 billion XRP per month are rarely used in full, as they are mainly used to cover the company's operating costs (salaries, development...) and strategic partnerships. As a result, the remaining share - often more than 80% - automatically returns to the escrow.

It seems important to put the figures in perspective. In fact, 1 billion XRP per month currently represents an amount equivalent to just over 3 billion dollars. An impressive amount, but just a drop in the ocean compared to the 17 billion dollars in daily XRP volume😱 - that is, more than 500 billion dollars each month🥶. It's hard to talk about manipulation.
