Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Ripple, David Schwartz says “blackholing” or transferring control are two available options for how the over 40.708 billion XRP currently held in escrow accounts can be managed.
The Ripple CTO gave this insight while responding to<a href="https://twitter.com/_CryptoArsenal/status/1759681234517594372" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> a member of the crypto community on X</a> to address the growing public concerns about the management of the cryptocurrency. The XRP community has been worried over the stagnation of Ripple’s XRP escrow reserves.
According to Schwartz, the different options available to Ripple could potentially burn Ripple’s XRP escrow reserves. The actions could either reduce or eliminate the reserves, which have well over 40.708 billion XRP currently held in escrow account.

Schwartz elaborated on Ripple’s technical capacity to achieve the equivalent of burning escrowed XRP through a method termed “blackholing.” This approach entails rendering the linked accounts unreachable, thus blocking the escrowed XRP from entering circulation. Through the implementation of these measures, Ripple could unilaterally dictate the destiny of the XRP held in escrow.
This could be an advantage considering the<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/ripple-xrp-investors-sell-as-future-looks-bleak-while-solana-sol-holders-add-pushd-pushd-to-portfolio-as-gains-continue/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> bearish route of XRP in the last thirty days</a>, which saw the market price of Ripple increase by just 2.4% after initially falling by 2.9%.
