🔒 Ripple wraps up Swell today — and a billion XRP still hasn’t moved from its place
$XRP Today is the final day of the Ripple Swell 2026 conference in New York (October 27–29) — and the biggest story isn’t on stage, but on the blockchain.
The facts:
- The day before the conference, Ripple received final approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for Ripple National Trust Bank — a major institutional step for the RLUSD stablecoin and custody services
- On October 1, one billion XRP was released from escrow to two Ripple-controlled wallets — and as of the October 27 check, none of the billion has moved
- On November 1, another 500 million XRP in escrow will mature — meaning that soon there could be nearly two billion in just two wallets
- At the same time, wallets holding 10 million XRP or more now control 46.87 billion coins, about 68.5% of the supply — the highest share since November 2022, according to Santiment
- XRP price this morning is around $1.29 (Kraken)
Bottom line:
The market is watching one question: will these billions move and create selling pressure, or will they be locked up again? The movement itself matters more than the news.
Are you holding XRP or watching from afar? And if the billion moves, do you expect selling pressure or a relock? Write "sell" or "lock" 👇
