Ripple Labs plans to unlock 1 billion XRP from escrow, valued at approximately $2.49 billion, to bolster XRP's utility following its legal victory against the SEC. Of the unlocked amount, only 200 to 300 million XRP will be utilized, with the rest being relocked to maintain supply constraints. The company has also made strategic acquisitions, including GTreasury, Hidden Road, and Rail, to enhance its financial infrastructure and digital treasury capabilities. Despite XRP's 366% surge over the past year, reaching a market cap of nearly $150 billion, Ripple faces challenges such as integrating acquisitions and increasing user engagement on the XRP Ledger.
