 <p class="paragraph">Ripple reserved 200 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> XRP ($100 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a>) for its treasury following February’s 1 billion tokens unlock. On February 5, the company first moved to sell over half of this month’s supply inflation, according to onchain data.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the sell-off followed a similar pattern to movements observed in the past. However, it started with a transaction worth $60 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> in 120 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> XRP tokens, the highest initial monthly payment since February 2023.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">‘Ripple (1)’, Ripple’s known treasury account, sent the tokens to ‘rP4X2…sKxv3’ just five days after unlocking them. This is the same address where the company sent its sell-offs in previous months.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">As of writing, Ripple still holds 80 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> XRP from February’s unlock.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">These tokens could become selling pressure in the markets at any moment, impacting XRP’s price.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">It is important to understand that Ripple usually liquidates their holdings in strategic moments. Essentially, the sell-offs represent a relevant weight of the token’s 24-hour trading volume, capable of influencing short-term price action.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Recently, the institution’s Co-founder and Executive Chairman, Chris Larsen, lost $112 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> worth of XRP due to a hack. The token’s price reacted negatively to the expectation of a sell-off, which had a similar nominal value to this month’s reserves.</p>
