Ripple to unlock 1,000,000,000 XRP from escrow on February 1, 2026
Ripple will unlock 1,000,000,000 XRP from escrow on February 1, 2026, under its monthly schedule. In January, 70% of the release—700,000,000 XRP—was re-escrowed, limiting circulating supply, while XRP moved from around $1.84 to $1.91 on January 1–2 amid broader catalysts, including Japan's 2026 tax reforms and an XRP ETF.
