$XRP Ripple is set to unlock 1 billion XRP from escrow today, December 1, continuing its long-running monthly release schedule.

The programmed unlocks, enforced directly by the XRP Ledger protocol, have been a defining feature of Ripple’s supply management framework since 2017, when more than half of the total XRP supply was locked to ensure transparency and predictability.

Indeed, as reported by Finbold, Ripple is estimated to clear the locked XRP by 2035 if it maintains the current 1 billion schedule.

Today’s release follows the same structure: one billion tokens will exit escrow, but only a fraction is expected to reach active circulation.
