Ripple's CTO David Schwartz clarified the timing of XRP escrow releases, explaining the mechanism and addressing community concerns about unusual transaction patterns.
Legal expert Bill Morgan argues that Ripple's escrow mechanism has been unfairly targeted by misinformation and FUD, which has misled even some within the XRP community about its impact on XRP's price and market performance.
Ripple locked 700 million XRP (worth over $2.08 billion) back into escrow on August 2, 2025, as part of its supply management strategy to stabilize XRP's market performance.
Ripple's escrow mechanism is designed to protect XRP's price stability by controlling the release of XRP into the market, with unused XRP being recycled back into escrow.
Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy, claims the U.S. Treasury gained partial control over XRP's escrow in 2020 and advises acquiring XRP before a major announcement, though this claim lacks public confirmation.
