Ripple prepares for what could be a $795 million XRP sale in March
The post Ripple prepares for what could be a $795 million XRP sale in March appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple, the company behind the XRPL development and XRP’s largest token holder, is preparing its treasury for March sales. Onchain data reveals Ripple has reserved 300 million XRP from the 1 billion unlocked on March 1, as Finbold reported. At these prices, the amount is worth $795 million. Finbold retrieved the reserve’s transaction history from XRP Scan, which shows the labeled ‘Ripple (1)’ account receiving the tokens. This is a known pattern that repeats monthly, when Ripple unlocks 1 billion XRP from the genesis distribution, reserves a fraction for its budget’s sales, and re-locks the rest for future unlocks. Last month, the company unlocked the same 1 billion, reserved 300 million XRP, and later sold the tokens. Now, the market wonders if the same thing will happen in March, with the $795 million-worth of reserved XRP. rBg2FuZT91C52Nny68houguJ4vt5x1o91m account balance and history.

This happens because the company have not directly used the month’s unlocked tokens for February activity, as would be expected. Actually, Ripple used an idle reserve from ‘Ripple (24)’ and ‘Ripple (25)’, leaving the 1 billion unlocked XRP untouched. After putting this “untouched” amount to work during the first weekend of March, Ripple activated the escrows, effectively completing the unlock of this month. It is important to understand that this is not the usual behavior Finbold has reported in the last few months. Still, the premise is similar, with the company unlocking, reserving, and selling XRP from its very significant holdings. Following this premise, ‘Ripple (26)’ sent 300 million XRP to ‘Ripple (1)’ on March 1 and 200 million to ‘Ripple (13)’, which was then re-locked…
