Ripple Releases XRP From Escrow as Most Tokens Return to Lockup
Ripple unlocked 500 million XRP valued at approximately $626 million across four transactions on September 30. This amount represents half of its 1 billion XRP release. On-chain data indicates two Ripple wallets hold 1 billion XRP from October, with another 1 billion XRP eligible for release on November 1. Between November 2025 and October 2026, 12 billion XRP left escrow, while 8.4 billion XRP—70 percent—was returned to escrow. Ripple typically returns most unlocked tokens to escrow to limit market supply pressure.
