In the wake of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/33-million-ripple-tokens-transferred-to-binance-xrp-remains-steady/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a> unlocking 1 billion tokens from escrow, the price of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ripple-xrp-stagnates-around-0-60-for-six-weeks-potentially-leading-to-macro-bearishness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> fell. This action aims to improve market predictability and transparency via a long-term plan for managing the token supply. Despite this goal, investors were understandably wary based on the market’s quick response.
With its well-coordinated escrow mechanism, Ripple released one billion XRP tokens on September 1st. Three distinct parts of the transaction were completed within minutes of each other, releasing 500M, 200M, and 300M XRP tokens, respectively.

The “Ripple 24” wallet, which has been operational for more than seven years, distributed these tokens, with a value of more than $560 million.
Moreover, half a billion tokens, worth almost $280 million, were released in the first transaction at 02:46:22 UTC. Also, quickly after the first payout, the second and third pumped a significant quantity of XRP into the market. With this massive release and the market’s heightened volatility, the XRP price took a little hit, falling 2.29 percent from the previous day to $0.5552.
Ripple’s chief technology officer, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sjoelkatz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">David Schwartz</a>, has spoken publicly about the company’s 2017 escrow mechanism. To ensure efficient supply management, the business then placed 55 billion XRP in several escrow accounts.
Furthermore, the original plan was to promote decentralization and reduce the grip on the supply by releasing 1 billion XRP monthly. When asked about the strategy’s efficacy, Schwartz had conflicting opinions. In previous remarks, he considered the long-term effects of such releases and commented on the company’s original goal of quickly reducing its XRP inventory.
