Ripple just made a massive unlock of 500 million XRP tokens from their escrow account, worth around $1.07 billion. 💸 The transaction took place on January 1, 2025, and it caught our attention because of the mysterious message that accompanied it. 🤔
After the unlock, the tokens were moved to a wallet called “Ripple 25,” which immediately had a balance of 1 billion tokens. 🤑 However, Ripple also moved the 500 million XRP to another wallet called “Ripple 13,” which was also locked back into escrow. 🔒
Ripple typically releases a total of 1 billion tokens every month, so many are looking forward to the second batch before the day ends. ⏳ The message that accompanied the transaction mentioned that Donald Trump would soon be entering the White House and was optimistic that “with Trump coming, we will make crypto great again.” 🇺🇸
The message has caused quite a stir in the XRP community, as many see it as a sign that a bull market may be coming soon, not just for XRP but for cryptocurrencies in general. 📈 While this message is not from Ripple, it is not new, as there were similar messages during unlocks in July and May 2024. 🗓️
With everything going on, the XRP community is increasingly excited about the next token release and how the new political landscape could impact the crypto market. 🌟
