Ripple is set to release 1 billion XRP from escrow in April 2026, continuing its monthly schedule. Historically, a significant portion of these tokens is returned to escrow, with recent months showing 60% to 80% being re-locked. In March, 700 million XRP was re-escrowed, leaving 300 million for operational use. This controlled release strategy, in place since 2017, aims to maintain supply predictability and minimize market impact. Despite the upcoming unlock, XRP's price is expected to remain stable, as past releases have shown minimal effect on market value. Currently, XRP is trading at $1.45, up nearly 4%, and is testing its 50-day moving average. The broader trend remains bearish, with the price below the 200-day average of $2.14.
