The release of 1 billion XRP by Ripple on April 3, 2025, was delayed by two days from the usual schedule, sparking questions and speculation in the market. Ripple has been following a release program since 2017, where one billion XRP is gradually released on the first day of each month to maintain liquidity on cryptocurrency exchanges. Traditionally, around two-thirds of the released coins are placed back into escrow. However, there have been recent changes in the timing and approach of the releases, with 700 million XRP being locked back into escrow before the recent release. This alteration in the schedule has raised concerns in the crypto world about Ripple's token release strategy. The XRP community reacted strongly to the news of the release, with many expressing surprise at the size and timing of the release. The release of such a significant amount of XRP, valued at over $1 billion, has raised questions about its impact on the market and speculation about Ripple's intentions and future plans for the cryptocurrency. Ripple's monthly releases of XRP are closely monitored by the crypto community for any further changes in the company's release strategy, as these could have significant implications for XRP's price and its role in the broader cryptocurrency market.
