Data: 100 million XRP unlocked from the custodial account
According to Whale Alert monitoring, at 22:20 Singapore time, 100 million XRP (worth $283.89 million) were unlocked from escrow.
In 2017, Ripple Inc. locked up 55 billion XRP (representing 55% of the total supply) in an escrow account based on the XRP Ledger. These escrow accounts are controlled by smart contracts and automatically unlock one billion XRP each month (originally set at one billion per month before 2020, later adjusted to 450 million per month). Not all of the unlocked one billion XRP enter circulation each time; Ripple typically only uses a portion of the unlocked tokens (such as for market sales), with the remaining part being re-locked into escrow for future release. In 2020, Ripple extended its escrow contract from 55 months to 70 months to further slow down releases.
