XRP Update (@XrpUdate), a crypto enthusiast on X, has highlighted a series of substantial XRP transactions that captured market focus. In a post on X, he shared screenshots of Ripple’s monthly escrow activity and whale movement, suggesting these transactions hold something big for the digital asset. According to Whale Alert data, more than 700 million XRP were locked in escrow, and 500 million XRP were transferred from unknown wallets to Ripple. While XRP Update highlighted 800 million tokens released from escrow, the company unlocked an additional 200 million, bringing the total to 1 billion tokens. These figures represent billions of dollars in value, showing the scale at which Ripple continues to manage supply through its escrow system. The activity has come at a time when XRP has faced downward pressure in price, prompting renewed debate on how escrow mechanisms affect the token’s long-term stability. MASSIVE $XRP MOVES JUST HAPPENED 700M+ $XRP locked in escrow 800M+ $XRP unlocked 500M+ $XRP transferred to #Ripple from unknown wallets THE STAGE IS BEING SET… STAY READY pic.twitter.com/aVbZeENebi — XRP Update (@XrpUdate) September 1, 2025 Understanding the Escrow System Ripple introduced the escrow system in 2017 to provide transparency and predictability for XRP’s circulating supply. Each month, the company unlocks 1 billion tokens, and typically relocks 700 to 800 million for future release. This approach was designed to avoid sudden supply shocks while giving Ripple flexibility in managing liquidity. The system’s structure allows the company to release XRP for partnerships, ecosystem growth, or institutional needs while maintaining overall market balance. Recent Unlocks and Whale Activity The latest activity released 1 billion XRP from escrow, in three transactions: 500 million tokens ($1.38 billion), 300 million tokens ($830 million), and 200 million XRP tokens ($553 million). Shortly before these, Whale Alert reported re-locks of 400 million tokens ($1.1 billion) and 300 million tokens ($828 million). The more intriguing transactions were the two whale transfers. The first transaction was 300 million XRP, and the second was 200 million XRP, both from unknown wallets to Ripple. Ripple’s involvement in these transactions has raised interest as these funds could be used for operational or strategic purposes.

XRP Update also believes that these transactions could mean something big is underway. While some traders may interpret unlocks as a risk of increased selling pressure, Ripple’s consistent re-locking of significant portions has historically served as a stabilizing factor. However, the market has yet to react to these transactions, as XRP has failed to regain the $2.8 level. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
