Ripple to unlock 1 billion XRP today

Ripple is set to unlock 1 billion XRP from escrow today, December 1, continuing its long-running monthly release schedule. The programmed unlocks, enforced directly by the XRP Ledger protocol, have been a defining feature of Ripple’s supply management framework since 2017, when more than half of the total XRP supply was locked to ensure transparency and predictability. Indeed, as reported by Finbold, Ripple is estimated to clear the locked XRP by 2035 if it maintains the current 1 billion schedule. Today’s release follows the same structure: one billion tokens will exit escrow, but only a fraction is expected to reach active circulation. Ripple XRP re-locks Ripple typically re-locks between 70% and 80% of every monthly unlock into new escrow contracts, meaning the majority of released tokens are immediately returned to long-term storage. Notably, recent patterns suggest only 200–300 million XRP will remain for liquidity, ecosystem use, and institutional sales, with any unused portion re-locked into escrow to prevent market disruption. This predictable system is the primary reason XRP is unlikely to face meaningful downside pressure from today’s unlock. Despite the headline figure of 1 billion tokens, the net addition to circulating supply is far smaller and highly managed. Over the years, Ripple’s escrow model has ensured XRP releases are gradual, supporting institutional demand and liquidity without causing market shocks. Historical data shows monthly unlocks rarely trigger price drops, as traders anticipate them and unused tokens are typically re-locked. Even amid broader market volatility, XRP’s supply dynamics remain stable due to this predictable, controlled process. Meanwhile, XRP continues to be weighed down by broader market sentiment , which has resumed after the November sell-off. XRP price analysis By press time, the token was trading at $2.03, down over 7% in the past 24 hours. On the weekly timeframe, the asset is down 1.3%. As things stand, XRP is facing fragile support at $2 and needs bullish momentum to reclaim the $2.10 resistance level.
