Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP from escrow on August 1, 2026, according to XRP Ledger data. The release came in three tranches.

For XRP holders, these monthly escrow releases represent predictable supply events that the market closely monitors, with the determining factor being Ripple’s post-unlock handling of the tokens.
