Ripple has unlocked 400 million XRP from its escrow accounts as part of its ongoing supply management strategy. This release is part of Ripple’s monthly schedule, which began in December 2017 to ensure predictable XRP supply. The company typically returns about 80% of each release to new escrow contracts, using the remainder for strategic initiatives such as On-Demand Liquidity partnerships and market development.
Ripple’s escrow mechanism, which releases 1 billion XRP monthly, provides transparency and predictability, appealing to institutional investors. This approach contrasts with other cryptocurrencies that lack such structured supply schedules. Historical data indicates that these releases have minimal immediate price impact, as they are factored into market models in advance. The transparency of Ripple’s system supports its regulatory compliance and institutional adoption efforts.
