Brace for a sell-off: Ripple to unlock 1 billion XRP in June
Ripple, the company behind the XRP Ledger (XRP) development, will unlock 1 billion tokens on June 1, worth $520 million. This is part of Ripple’s monthly sell-offs, which could negatively impact the XRP price in the following weeks. Historically, Ripple has been unlocking 1 billion tokens through escrows, finalized on the first day of every month since 2017. Until April, the company has been using ‘Ripple (22)’ and ‘Ripple (23),’ according to XRPScan, to manage the escrows. However, these accounts no longer hold active unlocking contracts, and May has already used two different addresses, as Finbold reported. The wallets ‘Ripple (24)‘ and ‘Ripple (25)‘ currently hold the 1 billion XRP monthly unlock escrows until January 2025.
