August is poised to see significant activity in the cryptocurrency market with nearly $1.5 billion in tokens scheduled for release. The largest share comes from Ripple, which will unlock up to 1 billion XRP tokens on August 1. This release, valued at approximately $609 million, follows Ripple’s established pattern of monthly unlocks since 2017. Ripple uses several escrow wallets, including <a href="https://xrpscan.com/account/rw2hzLZgiQ9q62KCuaTWuFHWfiX7JWg3wY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple (24)</a> and <a href="https://xrpscan.com/account/rDqGA2GfveHypDguQ1KXrJzYymFZmKxEsF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple (25)</a>, to manage these unlocks. 
Despite the large volume of tokens being unlocked, Ripple may re-lock a substantial portion. Historically, Ripple has re-escrowed up to 800 million XRP from its June unlock. However, the company still sold around 300 million XRP worth $182 million, as recorded by TradingView. This practice of re-escrowing can significantly reduce the actual amount of XRP entering circulation. 
Other Major Tokens Scheduled for Release 
In addition to <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/ripplex-unveils-filedgr-to-elevate-data-transparency/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple</a>, several other major projects are set to unlock significant amounts of their tokens this month. On August 3, Wormhole will release 33.3% of its circulating supply, translating to 600 million Wormhole (W) tokens worth $180.5 million. This follows Wormhole’s airdrop launch earlier this year.&nbsp;
