Ripple just triggered another massive escrow unlock — 500 million XRP, worth over $1.08 billion, now released into circulation. This is part of their routine monthly unlock mechanism. These scheduled releases have been a consistent pattern for years, typically used for liquidity management, institutional sales, and ecosystem development. Market watchers are keeping a close eye on how much actually hits exchanges versus what gets re-locked. With that kind of volume potentially entering the market, short-term price action could get interesting.
