Ripple escrow opened 1,000,000,000 XRP on September 1, unlocking three transfers (500M, 300M, 200M) before returning 700,000,000 XRP to escrow, resulting in a net release of 300,000,000 XRP. This follows Ripple’s standard monthly cadence and aims to balance liquidity with predictable supply management.
How much XRP was unlocked and relocked on September 1?

Why does Ripple perform monthly escrow unlocks?
Ripple established the escrow mechanism to make supply predictable. Each month a 1,000,000,000 XRP tranche is unlocked for Ripple’s ecosystem, partners, and institutional demand. Unused tokens are relocked to future escrow, stabilizing available supply and reducing unexpected inflationary effects.
What does the net release mean for price and liquidity?
Net supply increases can exert downward pressure on price, while larger relocks reduce that pressure. The September net release of 300,000,000 XRP represents a moderate change in circulating supply. Market impact depends on distribution: internal use, institutional placement, or gradual selling.
