Live XRP/USD Chart

Ripple will release 1 billion XRP from escrow on November 1, valued at around $2.5 billion. This action supports Ripple’s established liquidity management system, in place since 2017, to ensure a steady supply of tokens.

Typically, Ripple relocks 70–80% of the 1 billion XRP it unlocks each month into new escrows. Only 200–300 million XRP are used for ecosystem support, institutional sales, or operational needs. In October, XRP traded between $2.30 and $2.68 amid optimism about Ripple’s institutional growth and Evernorth’s billion-dollar listing plans. The process is fully auditable on-chain and designed to prevent sudden supply shocks.

Analysts expect minimal direct price impact from the escrow release because most tokens return to the escrow. However, the amount Ripple re-locks this month will be closely watched by traders as an indicator of its liquidity and sales approach as 2026 approaches.

The recent price volatility of XRP has drawn market attention to the upcoming unlock. A recent change was made to the Canary XRP ETF by Canary Capital, the asset manager behind several large-cap altcoin ETFs. The ETF tracking XRP recently received a potential launch date following the update to Canary’s S-1 Form.

The XRP ETF could launch as early as November 13, 2025, with the revised version taking effect immediately. This estimate assumes NASDAQ will approve the 8-A filing similar to its approval of the hedge fund’s LTC and HBAR applications.
