<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-s-escrow-system"><strong>Ripple’s Escrow System</strong></h2>
<p>This Escrow system is proven to be a game changer for XRP’s market stability, which was implemented in 2017. The system involves allocating 55 billion XRP tokens across a series of escrow accounts, each holding 1 billion tokens. The tokens on these accounts are released every month, with each release subject to strict controls and transparency measures.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2024-january-release"><strong>2024 January Release</strong></h2>
<p>Today, January 1, 2024, Ripple executed its planned release of 1 billion XRP from its escrow accounts. The release consisted of three distinct transactions, with an initial tranche of 100 million XRP valued at approximately $61.14 million, followed by a larger 400 million and a substantial 500 million XRP wave worth $305.71 million.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-impact-on-xrp-s-value"><strong>Impact on XRP’s Value</strong></h2>
<p>The market response to the January release saw XRP dip by approximately 2%, as this reaction was short-lived. At the current moment, XRP has recovered most of its losses, closing with a marginal 0.3% decline compared to the previous day. This transparency in Ripple’s release strategy has fostered cautious optimism among investors.</p>
