Ripple has operated under a predictable monthly schedule for years, gradually releasing XRP from escrow accounts. Typically, only a portion of the released tokens are used for operational expenses or strategic purposes. The majority is often returned to escrow, limiting actual market impact.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from XRPScan, two Ripple-managed wallets will handle this upcoming release. Wallet (26) will distribute 200 million and 300 million XRP across two escrows, while wallet (27) is expected to unlock a 500 million XRP batch. All of this aligns with Ripple\u2019s longstanding policy of scheduled unlocks rather than unexpected sell-offs.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/real-world-asset-craze-sends-polygon-nft-sales-to-the-top\/\" title=\"Real-World Asset Craze Sends Polygon NFT Sales to the Top\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/nft-nonfungibletoken-1-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Real-World Asset Craze Sends Polygon NFT Sales to the Top<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Though short-term price movement is unlikely to be affected by the unlock itself, some observers argue that cumulative releases over time could subtly alter the token\u2019s supply-and-demand balance. The real influence would depend more on Ripple\u2019s selling behavior than the unlocks alone.<\/p>\n<p>XRP\u2019s market performance offers a mixed picture. It has outperformed several major cryptocurrencies this year, rising 1.17% year-to-date with a current price around $2.10. Still, the last month hasn\u2019t been kind\u2014XRP has dropped nearly 12% over the past 30 days and is slightly down over the last 24 hours. Unlike some digital assets that have recently rebounded, XRP hasn\u2019t fully participated in the market\u2019s latest upswing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripple Labs is
