<p>Perhaps this decision is part of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-to-unlock-1billion-xrp-on-1st-may-is-xrp-price-to-drop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple’s routine strategy of monthly releases</a>, where a portion of the cryptocurrency is unlocked to enhance market liquidity while the majority is returned to escrow. The purpose of this strategy is to ensure liquidity for cross-border transactions and maintain market stability.</p> 
<p>While such releases can impact short-term price fluctuations due to increased supply, they align with Ripple’s long-term vision for sustainability in the crypto ecosystem.&nbsp;</p>
