#Market_Update Ripple is on track to release XRP worth about $1.5 billion next week as the asset witnesses increased investor interest.
#market_tips The October 1 release will unlock 1 billion XRP from Ripple’s escrow accounts as part of the company’s long-running supply management program.
#CryptoDawar The upcoming release is part of Ripple’s escrow system established in 2017, when the company locked 55 billion XRP into a series of on-ledger escrow contracts designed to make token distributions predictable.
#MarketAnalysis According to XRP Ledger escrow data, approximately 31.98 billion XRP remains locked. The next scheduled release is set for October 1, when up to 1 billion XRP will become available. Based on XRP’s current price, the unlocked tokens are worth roughly $1.54 billion.
Although the monthly release often attracts attention due to its size, Ripple has historically returned a substantial portion of the unlocked XRP to new escrow contracts.
As a result, the actual increase in circulating supply is typically lower than the headline 1 billion XRP figure.
Still, the event remains closely watched because any increase in circulating supply can create short-term selling pressure if demand fails to absorb the additional tokens.
Conversely, a muted market reaction could reinforce the view that investors have already priced in the scheduled release.
XRP whale accumulation on the rise
The scheduled unlock comes as large investors continue increasing their XRP exposure. In this regard, data shared by crypto analyst Ali Martinez in an X post on September 25 indicates that whales accumulated more than 470 million XRP over five days, equivalent to about $724 million at current market prices.
