Ripple to unlock 1B XRP from escrow on April 1, 2026 under monthly plan

Ripple is scheduled to release 1 billion XRP from escrow on April 1, 2026 as part of the monthly mechanism it has followed since late 2017. The company originally locked 55 billion XRP in time-based escrows on the XRP Ledger, and it typically re-locks 60% to 80% after each release, keeping net additions smaller. XRP traded at $1.31 at press time, valuing the gross unlock at about $1.31 billion.
