Since 2017, the payment company has been known to release 1 billion XRP tokens each month through a smart contract. While Ripple claims this helps increase liquidity and utility, it also means a major influx of new coins entering circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With more XRP available, the price often drops as supply outweighs demand. Each new release adds downward pressure, and the price frequently falls in the days leading up to and following the escrow unlocking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/6u0x2X7E\/\" width=\"2475\" height=\"1179\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>SOL market cap currently at $9.5 billion on the weekend chart: TradingView.com<\/p>\n<p><span>The monthly escrow has led to significant <\/span><span>price slumps in the past months<\/span><span>, especially during periods of lower interest in XRP. In particular, XRP witnessed a major selloff in June as whales dumped around 120 million XRP after Ripple unlocked its escrow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ripple has been known to periodically relock a portion of released tokens into the escrow system to reduce selling pressure, which helps extend the runway for the remaining tokens to be unlocked. For instance, Ripple immediately relocked 800 million (80%) of September&#8217;s token unlock. The total amount to be locked back in escrow this month is yet to be determined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Ripple: The Future Outlook For XRP<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>XRP is currently up by 1.83% in a seven-day timeframe but the price outlook looks remains highly uncertain in the short term. <\/span><span>Various predictions<\/span><span> have come in for the token\u2019s future, with one prediction even <\/span><span>going as high as<\/span><span> $10,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>(This site&#8217;s content should not be construed as investment advice.
