Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP next month

Ripple is preparing to unlock 1 billion XRP from its escrow accounts on May 1, 2025, continuing its monthly release cycle. Based on current XRP prices on April 10, the token unlock is valued at approximately $2 billion in market value. Following XRP’s launch in 2012, Ripple initially retained 80 billion of the total 100 billion token supply, gradually distributing portions to the market over time. In 2017, the company implemented an escrow system to lock the still undistributed 55 billion XRP, with programmed monthly unlocks.
