Ripple unlocked 500,000,000 XRP, worth approximately $626,430,089, from escrow, as flagged by on-chain tracker Whale Alert. The release, one of Ripple's largest single escrow unlocks, adds to the circulating supply of XRP, which trades across major venues including Binance, Coinbase, and Bitstamp. Escrow unlocks are closely watched by traders because they can signal potential selling pressure, though Ripple has historically redirected much of its unlocked XRP into institutional sales, OTC deals, and on-demand liquidity corridors rather than dumping on exchanges. The move comes as XRP remains among the top assets by market capitalization, with Ripple still engaged in ongoing legal and regulatory matters that shape how it deploys its holdings. Market watchers will be monitoring subsequent on-chain flows to see whether the unlocked tokens move to exchange wallets, Ripple's OTC desks, or remain in company-controlled addresses.
