Ripple alarmed investors once again by setting aside 200 million out of the 1 billion XRP intended for its monthly sale in April. This amount is worth approximately 120 million dollars and the price of XRP has fallen below the resistance level of $0.60. Ripple currently holds about 39.90 billion tokens in escrow that have never been in circulation and have been locked away since the creation of XRP.
Preparations in XRP
On the other hand, following the escrow releases conducted by Ripple can reveal the process that affects the long-term value of the asset and the short-term price movements of XRP. The company prepared for this month’s sale by transferring 200 million XRP from ‘Ripple (22)’ to ‘Ripple (1) escrow wallets. Both accounts are controlled by the institution, with the first being the unlocked escrow address and the second used as treasury reserves.
Ripple’s April Escrow Activity
As in previous months, the escrows in the ‘Ripple (22)’ and ‘Ripple (23)’ accounts have been finalized. It is noteworthy that these escrows have not been disclosed on XRPScan before and that locks are no longer being released for both accounts.
To clarify further, ‘Ripple (22)’ initially sent 200 million XRP to the ‘Ripple (1)’ address for the April sale. Subsequently, the account transferred 300 million tokens to ‘Ripple (12)’, which were then locked in another escrow address indicating August 2027.
Meanwhile, from the ‘Ripple (23)’ account, 100 million and 400 million XRP were sent to ‘Ripple (12)’ and ‘Ripple (13)’, respectively. Both are in escrows scheduled to be unlocked by August 2027.
What Will Ripple’s Dollar Value Be?
It is clear how Ripple’s past sales have coincided with XRP price movements. An analysis of the company’s sales activities from the beginning of the year to date shows this more clearly for XRP.
Ripple has conducted these sales on January 7, 16, and 30, February 5, 11, and 20, and March 5 and 13. Interestingly, only two of these eight days showed a slight positive price movement, while the rest indicated a decline.
As of the time of writing, the price of XRP has lost the critical support level of $0.60 and is trading at $0.59. The recent drop in Bitcoin prices also has a significant impact on this decline.
