Ripple set to unlock 1 billion XRP on February 1, 2026

Continuing with its usual monthly schedule, Ripple is set to release 1 billion XRP from escrow on February 1, 2026, marking the second token unlock in 2026.  As has so far been the case, however, we’re unlikely to see the full 1 billion XRP entering circulation.  Namely, under the transparency and supply predictability framework, 1 billion XRP is unlocked at the start of each month, but Ripple typically allocates a portion of the new batch for operational or liquidity purposes and re-escrows the rest. With the release now just over a week away, the question is how much XRP will ultimately reach the market and whether it could influence XRP price action in early February source: https://finbold.com/ripple-set-to-unlock-1-billion-xrp-on-february-1-2026/
