Ripple XRP Escrow Unlock January 2025 refers to the scheduled release of a significant portion of XRP tokens from escrow accounts held by Ripple Labs, the company behind the XRP Ledger and RippleNet payment network. Approximately 1 billion XRP, or 5% of the total XRP supply, will be released from escrow on a monthly basis over a period of 55 months, starting in January 2025.
The escrow release is a key event in the XRP ecosystem, as it will increase the circulating supply of XRP and potentially impact its price and liquidity. Ripple Labs has stated that the purpose of the escrow is to ensure an orderly and controlled distribution of XRP into the market, preventing large-scale sell-offs and market manipulation.
