#Ripple has unlocked a massive volume of XRP tokens from its escrow today, which is in line with the monthly schedule.

However, the latest unlock has come with a mysterious message that has intrigued the XRP community. Notably, popular market tracker Whale Alert highlighted Ripple’s January 1, 2025, unlock in a post on X.

Details of Ripple’s Latest XRP Unlock

According to the update, 500 million XRP left Ripple’s escrow account for an unknown destination today at 06:57 (UTC). At the time of the transaction, the unlocked tokens were valued at $1.07 billion.

The unlock occurred at the “Ripple 25” wallet, which saw its balance rise to 1 billion tokens shortly after the unlock.

However, Ripple dispatched the received 500 million tokens to another wallet, “Ripple 13.” Interestingly, Ripple has locked the 500 million XRP tokens in escrow within this recipient wallet.

Notably, at press time, the January escrow execution has only registered the unlock of 500 million XRP. Since Ripple typically unlocks 1 billion tokens, the second batch of releases is expected before the end of the day.
