One billion XRP leaves Ripple escrow
Whale Alert, which monitors large cryptocurrency movements and reports them through its website and the X handle, has spotted three hefty crypto transactions, each carrying hundreds of millions of XRP. Whale Alert published these X posts one after another.
According to them, Ripple released 500,000,000 XRP from escrow, an astonishing $1,020,192,378 worth of crypto. This followed two transfers, also made from escrow by an anonymous wallet, of 200,000,000 XRP. At the time of the executed transactions, those XRP chunks were worth $407,926,449 and $612,401,797.
Data provided by the XRP-focused Bithomp explorer shows that both transfers were initiated by Ripple too.
Ripple adjusts XPR release schedule
The San Francisco-based crypto giant has been running this long-standing XRP release program since 2017, when it started letting out one billion coins on the first day of each month to support XRP liquidity on crypto exchanges. Traditionally, after each release, roughly two-thirds of the released coins go back to escrow. First it was 700-800 million coins. In recent years, Ripple has been locking back 700 million XRP monthly.
This time, in April 2025, the release took place on April 3 instead of April 1, but on April 2, the company locked 700 million coins before the traditional release. Last month, however, Ripple also unlocked one billion XRP on March 3. And they also locked 700 million XRP in escrow two days before that, as if Ripple has made changes to its own monthly XRP release strategy.

Ripple Set to Unlock 1 Billion XRP on January 1, 2025 – Here’s What You Need to Know
Ripple is gearing up for its routine monthly escrow unlock, with 1 billion XRP tokens set to be released on January 1, 2025. Utilizing the XRP Ledger's escrow mechanism, Ripple consistently unlocks funds on the first day of each month, impacting the token’s circulating supply and market sentiment.
Details of the Upcoming Unlock
On this particular Wednesday, over $2 billion worth of XRP will be unlocked through three separate transactions:
200 million XRP
300 million XRP
500 million XRP
This release represents approximately 1.74% of the current circulating supply of 57.25 billion XRP and accounts for 2.63% of the remaining 38 billion XRP locked in Ripple's escrow accounts.
Where Are the Tokens Coming From?
Three escrow accounts will conclude their lock periods just before midnight on December 31, 2024, all managed by two Ripple-owned wallets. Notably:
1. Ripple (24) will release 200 million XRP and 300 million XRP, originally locked in December 2020 and January 2021, respectively.
2. Ripple (25) will unlock 500 million XRP, locked since January 2021.
These will be the final releases from the Ripple (24) and Ripple (25) accounts. However, additional escrows remain under Ripple’s control, scheduled for future releases.
What Does This Mean for XRP?
The scheduled release of 1 billion XRP could influence the market, depending on how these tokens are utilized. Investors will closely monitor Ripple’s distribution strategy, which often includes allocating tokens to operational expenses, partnerships, and ecosystem development.
With this release, Ripple’s ongoing escrow management continues to play a crucial role in maintaining transparency and fostering confidence within the XRP community.
