Ripple Locks 400 Million XRP in Escrow, Maintaining Predictable Supply Schedule

Ripple has continued its commitment to transparent supply management by locking 400 million XRP in escrow. This move reduces the circulating supply of XRP and maintains a predictable schedule for token releases.

The escrow mechanism, which was first introduced in 2017, uses smart contracts on the XRP Ledger to automatically lock tokens for a set period. The process works by releasing up to 1 billion XRP each month, with any unused portion being locked back into new escrow contracts.

This predictable supply schedule provides clarity for investors and reduces uncertainty in the market. While the immediate price impact of the lock-up is expected to be minimal, it reinforces Ripple's commitment to stability and governance.
