Ripple Unlocks 1B XRP, Still Holds 32% of Total Supply

Published at 2026-03-01 15:30:10

Ripple unlocked another 1 billion XRP from its escrow account this morning, with Whale Alert reporting three transfers of 200M, 300M and 500M XRP valued at about $1.377 billion. The releases were drawn from Ripple’s San Francisco escrow holdings, and the firm still holds roughly 32% of the total XRP supply — a level market participants say can influence liquidity and price dynamics.

Whale Alert’s report has put traders and analysts on alert for potential sell-side activity; whether these tokens are moved to exchanges or re-escrowed will determine immediate market impact. The unlock continues a pattern of scheduled releases that the community watches closely, and with a sizable share of supply under Ripple’s control, investors will likely monitor order books and on-chain flows for signs of increased volatility.
