📉 A 1 billion $XRP unlock puts the brakes on the price rally. Despite strong buying pressure from spot ETFs, the price of XRP corrected by about 1% today, dipping into the $1.33–$1.34 range. The main reason for this local sell pressure was Ripple's planned monthly unlock of 1 billion XRP from escrow accounts. Don't panic: 700 million tokens ($952M) were immediately locked back into escrow. The remaining portion temporarily hit order books, pulling the price down from its August 27 peak of $1.45.
