Ripple is set to release a significant amount of XRP, 1 billion tokens monthly, starting December. This program, ongoing since 2017, aims to maintain transparency and predictability in the cryptocurrency market. While this process technically releases 1 billion XRP each month, a large portion (around 70-80%) is re-escrowed into new agreements, limiting the amount available on the open market to approximately 200-300 million tokens. This strategy ensures controlled token supply until 2035, aiming to provide liquidity and fuel ecosystem growth through market releases. The remaining XRP is secured back in escrows to avoid a price shock from sudden oversupply. Ripple’s monthly releases have been successful in avoiding sharp price drops, as market participants anticipate these predictable movements. However, recent market volatility has impacted XRP negatively. November’s sell-off has continued to affect XRP’s price despite positive signals like institutional interest and potential for an XRP-based ETF launch. International risk tolerance, Bitcoin price fluctuations, and regulatory developments are also playing significant roles in determining XRP’s future value. Ripple emphasizes that the program alone doesn’t dictate price movements. The company’s strategic approach focuses on stability by implementing a methodical release of XRP while actively exploring partnerships and potential ETFs to attract further investor interest. This strategy highlights Ripple’s commitment to long-term growth in an ever-changing financial landscape.
