Ripple Labs is set to release 1 billion XRP from escrow on December 1, continuing its long-running scheduled monthly unlocks designed to manage liquidity and support ecosystem activity. The upcoming release will follow the standard structure seen in previous months, with the tokens typically unlocked in three tranches spread across Ripple-controlled escrow accounts. This system, introduced in 2017 when the company placed 55 billion XRP into escrow, was created to provide supply predictability and increase transparency around the token’s circulation. Although the 1 billion XRP figure often captures market attention, past unlocks have shown that only a portion of these tokens ultimately reaches the circulating supply
