Ripple Approaches Tenth Scheduled One Billion XRP Escrow Release of 2026
The XRP issuer is set to conduct its monthly one billion token escrow unlock on October 1 under its long-standing release mechanism.
Ripple is scheduled to unlock one billion XRP from its escrow contracts on October 1, marking the company's tenth planned monthly release of 2026. The recurring schedule, established in 2017 to manage token distribution, initially locked 55 billion XRP into programmatic smart contracts on the XRP Ledger.
Although one billion tokens are unlocked at the beginning of every month, Ripple routinely returns the majority of the released supply to new escrow contracts. In September, the relocking process returned the total escrowed balance to roughly 32 billion XRP, leaving the effective net monthly increase in circulating supply between 200 million and 300 million tokens.
Roughly one-third of XRP's maximum supply of 100 billion tokens remains locked under the escrow schedule. The piece reports that past unlocks have had minimal direct impact on spot prices, with XRP trading at $1.37 and maintaining levels above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
