Ripple desbloqueó 1.000 millones de XRP del escrow el 1 de julio y rebloqueó inmediatamente 700 millones de tokens, liberando netamente 300 millones de XRP en circulación. La liberación de julio sigue a un difícil junio en el que XRP alcanzó un mínimo de 19 meses cerca de $1,01.
Ripple liberó netamente 300 millones de XRP el 1 de julio después de bloquear el 70% de su desbloqueo mensual de 1.000 millones de tokens del escrow en contratos inteligentes.
La plataforma de monitoreo en cadena Whale Alert señaló las tres transacciones —200 millones, 300 millones y 500 millones de XRP— que comprendieron el desbloqueo. El mecanismo data de 2017, cuando Ripple colocó 55.000 millones de XRP en escrow para evitar desplomes repentinos del mercado, al tiempo que proporcionaba liquidez transparente para operaciones y asociaciones.
Ripple typically re-locks 600 million to 800 million XRP within hours or days of each monthly release, leaving a net addition of 200 million to 300 million tokens to circulating supply. The July tranche, valued at roughly $312 million at current prices, sits at the high end of that range. About 35.8% of the total token supply, or 35.8 billion XRP, remains under Ripple's control in frozen escrow smart contracts, according to XRP Scan.
The net release adds to circulating supply as XRP recovers from a 19-month low of $1.01 hit on June 25. The token traded near $1.04 as of press time, with key resistance at $1.18 to $1.22 and support at $1.00 to $1.02, according to BeInCrypto data. Despite the price weakness, on-chain data from Santiment showed whale accumulation of roughly 210 million XRP during June, while exchange netflows turned negative as investors moved tokens to private wallets. Spot XRP exchange-traded funds in the US also attracted steady inflows through June, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs faced outflows, as investors rotated toward XRP-specific exposure among institutional players.
The July unlock marks the latest data point in Ripple's supply management framework. With XRP daily trading volume stabilizing around $1.61 billion on licensed platforms, the controlled release of 300 million tokens represents less than 1% of the company's locked reserves. The token held key support at $1.0390, where the volume point of control sits, and moved toward the $1.06 level in early July trading, according to technical chart data.
