Ripple is scheduled to unlock up to 1 billion XRP from escrow on October 1, continuing its monthly token release system..The release is part of Ripple’s long-running escrow plan, created in 2017 to make XRP supply changes more predictable..The 1 billion XRP figure does not mean all tokens will immediately enter circulation or reach cryptocurrency exchanges..Ripple can return unused XRP to new escrow contracts, reducing the amount that ultimately becomes available in the market..Recent releases show why the headline number needs context, with 700 million XRP re-escrowed after September’s 1 billion unlock..The October release could therefore create less new supply than the 1 billion XRP headline initially suggests to market watchers..Investors will closely watch Ripple wallets after the unlock to see whether XRP is re-escrowed, transferred, or moved toward exchanges..XRP’s price response may depend on actual market supply, broader crypto sentiment, and demand around the scheduled October release..The key takeaway is simple: watch where the unlocked XRP goes next, rather than treating the entire billion as immediate selling pressure..Read More Stories .Join our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp
