The two transactions involved the release of 100 and <a href="https://bithomp.com/explorer/5403777D0340FB28E34F227065EAA60177DDE3EC007CACBEB01FE39064AB25CA" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">400 million XRP</a>.

<p>This month’s proceedings of 500 million XRP on May 1st broke the regular pattern. The first few months have seen uneven execution of escrow, January being the only month to adhere to the usual release schedule. Nevertheless, the irregularity pervaded February, March, and April, causing discrepancies against the usual 1 billion XRP per month schedule.</p>
<p>However, there is a possibility of the market experiencing price fluctuation owing to the irregular release, though the effect has not yet been seen in the market. Ripple locks up 800 million XRP every month, which may have a stabilizing effect on the market as well. XRP is now in the recovery cycle, going up by 5.85% this month in a bid to bounce back the loss registered in April. Lately XRP has been charting at a 9-day high of $0.5367, but after seeing the bearish effect. As of press time XRP is exchanging hands at $0.5358 and is up by 3.80% in the last 24-hours.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="may-s-escrow-release-achieves-balanced-token-distribution">May’s Escrow release achieves balanced token distribution</h2>
<p>The repeating disorderly execution of escrow throughout the year ignited alarms over XRP. However, the community generally expects the tokens to be distributed at the rate of 1 billion per month. Deviations from the schedule, in addition to normal variation, have deepened the concern. Nonetheless, Ripple’s continuous XRP lock-ups of 800m tokens per month could ease the apprehension to some extent.</p>
<p>Among the remaining 500 million XRP tokens released for May, the total amount of the Ripple Escrow locking, as for this month alone, has reached 1 billion, thus forming an ongoing balanced Escrow for May. Even the irregularity in public attendance does not hinder the project from stabilizing by recovering the locked 800 tokens every month. The current XRP development is in line with the ongoing market movement, although irregularities during the lock period still need to be addressed.</p>
