David Schwartz on XRP escrow: 32.75B locked, 1B monthly unlocks and why timing is uncertain
Ripple's CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said predicting when XRP's escrow could meaningfully deplete is difficult because it depends on how much Ripple uses and how much is later re-escrowed. The article cites XRP Scan data showing 62,053,900,985 XRP in circulation and 32.75B in escrow, with 1 billion XRP unlocking on the first day of each month but a large portion typically being relocked.

Analysts debate XRP vs ETH as XRP/ETH ratio 30% drop could flip the near-term call
Analysts CrediBULL Crypto and Bobby A said Ethereum (ETH) currently looks like the stronger short-term trade, while XRP could become the better near-term pick if the XRP/ETH ratio falls about 30% to a midrange level. At press time, ETH traded just above $1,600 (down 3% in 24 hours and 31% over 30 days) while XRP hovered around $1.11 (down 5% on the day and nearly 24% in the past month). They also outlined key levels including ETH ranges near $1,550–$1,650, a downside line near $1,380, and potential upside toward $2,500–$2,600, while XRP bulls watched $1.66–$2.00 for a possible breakout.
