Firstly, Ripple unlocked 300 million XRP tokens worth over $154.58 million in the current crypto market prices. The second transaction involved the release of 200 million XRP tokens from Ripple’s escrow worth $103.19 million. And in the last transaction, Ripple unlocked 500 million XRP coins from its escrow system worth over $257.99 million.

A Brief On Ripple Escrow System

Ripple developed the escrow system for locking XRP tokens in 2017. The firm locked 55 billion XRP in a “series of escrows” on the ledger, making up 55% of the token supply. 

Each escrow contains 1 billion XRP, which the blockchain firm plans to unlock monthly over 55 months. 

According to XRPL.org, the aim is to provide predictability to the token supply. As such,  the ledger mechanics are enforced by consensus to enable the release of 1 billion tokens at the scheduled time. 

The blockchain company releases the token periodically in a controlled method. This serves as a measure of maintaining stability in the XRP market.

The latest unlock of XRP is part of Ripple’s vision of satisfying investors’ demands and supporting the growing XRP ecosystem.
