Since 2017, Ripple has managed its substantial XRP holdings through a carefully structured escrow system designed to regulate supply and maintain market stability.
At the inception of this plan, Ripple placed 55 billion XRP, over half of the total 100 billion tokens, into time-locked escrows. The goal was to ensure transparency, prevent sudden market flooding, and build investor confidence by providing a predictable release schedule.
The escrow was initially scheduled to release 1 billion XRP per month over 55 months, but Ripple often re‑locks a portion of each monthly unlock, effectively extending the overall release timeline.
Data from 2025 shows that for many months, only around 300 million XRP from the 1 billion unlocked are used or distributed, while the remaining 700 million are re‑locked. This pattern has been consistent in recent years, with monthly variations reflecting operational needs, ecosystem funding, and strategic decisions regarding liquidity.
