One Billion XRP Issued, Here’s How Much XRP Ripple Holds Now
On October 1, San Francisco blockchain giant released another huge amount of XRP from escrow: one billion worth just over $ 948 million in fiat currency. The release was made in two transactions of 500,000,000 each.
This is a common operation that has been programmed by Ripple to execute automatically since 2017. These regular monthly issues were originally planned to take 55 months, which means the company will stop unlocking funds from escrow in 2022.
Typically 800-900 million returns to escrow after the release of a billion XRP as Ripple doesn’t seem to need to allocate so much. The rest is used to support XRP liquidity and sent to cryptocurrency exchanges or the company’s clients and partners (global financial institutions).
