<a href="https://u.today/ripple-and-large-whales-millions-in-xrp-sales-now-at-loss-heres-reason" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a> released 1 billion XRP from its escrow earlier today in three transactions of 500 million, 400 million and 100 million XRP, according to Whale Alert.
Ripple's holdings are divided into two categories: XRP that it presently owns in its wallets and XRP that is subject to on-ledger escrow lockups that will be released monthly for the next 39 months.
Ripple does not have access to the latter category of XRP until the escrow releases it to Ripple monthly. The vast majority of this XRP released is returned to escrow.
The Ripple escrow system was launched in December 2017 to ensure predictability and stability of the XRP market. This escrow mechanism is planned to last until all 55 billion XRP have been released.
At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $0.62, down 0.21% in the last 24 hours, and had a market capitalization of $33.56 billion, making it the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
