The latest tranche, valued at roughly $2.4 billion, was distributed across three transactions, signaling another strategic liquidity move by the blockchain payments firm. According to on-chain data from Whale Alert, the first 200 million XRP, valued at $482 million, was transferred to an unidentified wallet. Another 300 million XRP followed the same route, while the remaining 500 million XRP, approximately $1.2 billion, was sent directly to Ripple's treasury wallet. All three releases originated from escrow contracts that matured on November 1, 2025. https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1985256996740714727 Ripple established its escrow framework in 2017, locking 55 billion XRP across 55 smart contracts. Since January 2018, the company has programmed monthly unlocks of one billion XRP to provide predictable supply management and ensure market transparency. Each unlock typically occurs in three batches: 200 million, 300 million, and 500 million XRP. Earlier this year, Ripple deviated from its original schedule, opting to restructure its escrows and release tokens at varying intervals. The company resumed its consistent unlock format in July and has maintained the approach through subsequent months, including November.XRP Price Falls but Volume Surges The latest unlock coincided with a decline in XRP's market value. Ripple's native token fell by 4.97% over the past 24 hours, trading at $2.41 at the time of writing, down from $2.53. Despite the drop, daily trading volume surged 79.84% to $3.62 billion. Market analysts monitoring XRP's chart have highlighted that the token has been forming higher lows since late October, a pattern often associated with accumulation phases within broader uptrends. Such formations typically precede a breakout, especially when price consolidates just below significant resistance levels such as $2.50. Moreover, technical indicators show a bullish movement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 50 on the daily chart, indicating that a bullish momentum is still intact. However, a move above $2.50 could lead to a push toward $2.70 and $3.00, with extended targets near $3.60. Conversely, a failure to hold above $2.35 could expose the token to a retest of the $2.10 support zone, potentially resetting short-term momentum.XRP ETF Speculation Builds Ahead of Key Launch Window Adding to the market's anticipation, ETF analyst Nate Geraci has projected that the first U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded fund could launch within the next two weeks. Geraci, who leads NovaDius Wealth Management, highlighted mid-November 2025 as the most likely timeframe for approval, calling it a defining moment for Ripple. https://twitter.com/NateGeraci/status/1985148670753362140 According to Geraci, an approved XRP ETF would mark a significant milestone in regulatory acceptance following Ripple's lengthy legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The introduction of a spot product would enable investors to gain direct exposure to XRP's market performance without holding the asset directly, potentially driving institutional demand.
