Ripple just unlocked 1 billion $XRP worth roughly $1.49B from escrow. But the headline number isn’t the whole story. This is part of Ripple’s scheduled monthly escrow process, and historically a large portion can be moved back into escrow. So I wouldn’t treat the full $1.49B as immediate selling pressure. For $XRP traders, the real thing to watch now is how much supply actually reaches the market and whether XRP can hold the $1.46–$1.50 area. The unlock is important. The follow-through matters more.
