Ripple Unlocks 1 Billion XRP: Impact on the Crypto Market Explained

Ripple is set to release a significant portion of its XRP supply, with 1 billion XRP being unlocked starting December 1st. This monthly process has been ongoing since 2017 and ensures transparency and predictability by keeping roughly half the total XRP supply locked in escrow agreements. These releases are scheduled to be completed by 2035, but only a small fraction of the unlocked amount enters the market each month due to Ripple’s re-locking strategy.
