XRP sell-off alert: Ripple preps huge February dump

Ripple has around 39.9 billion XRP, currently locked in escrows and not part of the token’s circulating supply. On February 1, Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP, valued at $500 million, keeping 20% of the total.

Each month, Ripple unlocks another 1 billion tokens. The company often retains only a fraction of it for its treasury, frequently selling the rest on the market. Finbold has tracked these unlocks, identifying patterns that affect the asset’s long-term value.

In February, Ripple held back 200 million XRP, consistent with prior months. This amount is now worth roughly $100 million, with each token priced at $0.50 by press time.

In particular, the company prepared this month’s selling activity by sending the 200 million XRP from ‘Ripple (22)’ to ‘Ripple (1)’. The institution controls both accounts, with the former being the unlocked escrow address and the latter used as its liquid treasury. #Write2Earn #XRPETFApproval
