Ripple Unleashes Another 1 Billion XRP from Escrow, Ignites Speculation

Ripple has released 1 billion XRP from its escrow system in three tranches, valued at over $1.37 billion at current market prices. The company's holdings now equal about 32% of the total token supply and are worth over $45 billion. Despite the large release, XRP showed minimal price reaction, with a slight 0.9% move from the day's opening. Spot XRP ETFs recorded net inflows of $9.55 million during the trading week of February 23-27. Analyst Javon Marks maintains a long-term view on XRP, citing past wedge patterns that ended with sharp rallies and predicting a new all-time high.
