The corporation behind the XRP Ledger, Ripple, plans to unlock one billion XRPs on July 1st of 2024. This move is worth around $470 million and is part of an ongoing series where they sell off significant amounts of these coins each month—something that historically impacts their value greatly.

Ripple’s Escrow System and Token Management

Since its inception in 2017, every month on the first day, Ripple has unlocked one billion XRPs from various escrows. This was done in order to ensure a constant supply of currency units into the market which influences supply-demand dynamics for cryptocurrencies like xrp.

XRPScan data shows that these monthly unlocks are managed through two accounts called “Ripple (24)” and “Ripple (25).” Both will hold onto escrows until January 2025 when they will disburse them again as usual.

However this coming month during July’s release ‘Ripple (24)’ is going to let out half a billion dollars’ worth with two tranches –100M & 400M while releasing single tranche equaling another half-billion dollars through ‘Ripple (25).’

June’s Token Unlock and Market Impact

On June first of this year four; twenty-fourth account released one billion XRPs with immediate sale reserve set at two hundred million tokens and eight hundred million being locked back into newer escrows slated for September twenty-seventh twenty twenty-seven.

In addition there were another two hundred millions added onto sales marking largest monthly history release ever done by Ripple.

During June, two hundred million XRP were moved from ‘Ripple (24)’ to the ‘Ripple (1)’ treasury account; following this 150M were sold on June seventh and remaining 250M dumped on June twentieth which marked completion of sell-offs for the month.

This ongoing downward pressure underscores market susceptibility vis a vis ripples token unlocking schedule and wider implications for holders or traders involved with xrps.

I work with brands that operate with a healthy dose of impatience to scale fast, connect with the culture, and steal back attention from their competitors.
