Ripple Unlocks 1 Billion XRP from Escrow on August 1

Ripple is set to unlock 1 billion XRP from escrow on August 1, worth approximately $1.08 billion based on the current price of $1.08 per XRP.

This move is part of Ripple's long-standing escrow schedule, which typically involves unlocking 1 billion XRP on the first day of each month.

However, it's likely that a large portion of the unlocked tokens will be re-locked into escrow, as has been the case in recent months.

In fact, Ripple has been re-locking around 700 million XRP every month since the start of 2026, reducing the amount entering circulation to just 300 million per month.
