Ripple unlocked a total of 1 billion XRP on November 1, according to Whale Alert, in two separate transactions of 500 million XRP each, with the first tranche valued at approximately $626 million. The unlocks, which typically come from Ripple's escrow holdings, drew attention as large escrow releases can add to circulating supply and weigh on XRP's price if the tokens are subsequently sold. The combined value of the release is roughly $1.25 billion based on the reported pricing. Whale Alert's monitoring flagged both transactions, though Ripple has not disclosed its intended use for the funds. Market watchers will be tracking subsequent wallet movements and any signs of the unlocked XRP being moved to exchanges or OTC desks.
