Overview
- Ripple completed three EscrowFinish transactions totalling 1 billion XRP on Tuesday through 500 million, 400 million, and 100 million tranches, according to on‑ledger data reported by trackers and Whale Alert.
- An independent tracker recorded the active on‑ledger escrow balance falling from about 32.28 billion XRP to roughly 31.28 billion XRP after the release.
- An escrow finish only makes tokens available to Ripple on the ledger and does not prove any immediate sale into markets or transfers to exchanges.
- Blockchain monitoring flagged that Ripple re‑locked 200 million XRP after the unlock and past months show the firm commonly re‑escrows about 600 million to 800 million XRP, so net circulating supply changes depend on further on‑chain moves.
- XRP traded near $1.39 with modest gains and several million dollars of liquidations recorded in the same period, and the next scheduled monthly escrow window is Oct. 1 when up to another 1 billion XRP could become available.
