Here’s how much XRP Company Ripple has dumped in 2025
Company Ripple unlocked about 12 billion XRP in 2025 and relocked most of it, resulting in roughly 3.6 billion XRP entering the market. At $1.90, that equates to about $6.8 billion of potential value. Data shows limited evidence of mass dumping; most releases are relocked or used for operations and partnerships.
Summary: In 2025, Company Ripple continued its scheduled monthly escrow unlocks of XRP and the partial relocking of tokens to manage circulating supply. According to escrow records, roughly 12 billion XRP were unlocked throughout the year, with most tokens subsequently relocked or allocated for operations, partnerships and institutional demand.
Escrow mechanism and monthly releases: Company Ripple uses a programmed supply mechanism that releases 1 billion XRP per month from time-locked escrow. This system is designed to balance liquidity, ecosystem needs and price stability as new tokens enter the market. With a fixed total supply of 100 billion XRP pre-mined at launch, Company Ripple initially placed about 55 billion XRP into escrow to regulate circulation.
In 2025, escrow data indicates that approximately 12 billion XRP were unlocked over the year, averaging about 1 billion per month. Of these monthly releases, roughly 700 million XRP were relocked each month on average, leaving around 300 million XRP per month outside escrow.
Net added market supply and value: Cumulatively, the year’s net addition to market circulation equates to roughly 3.6 billion XRP. At a contemporaneous price of $1.90 per XRP, that additional supply corresponds to approximately $6.8 billion of potential market value.
On allegations of aggressive dumping: Claims that Company Ripple is aggressively dumping large amounts of XRP assume that every unlocked token is immediately sold on exchanges. The escrow and on-chain data do not support that blanket assumption. Most unlocked tokens are either relocked or channeled toward operational uses such as On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), institutional partnerships, or ecosystem incentives. These channels mean only a fraction of newly unlocked XRP becomes immediate selling pressure.
Market reaction and price impact: Market responses in 2025 to monthly unlocks were generally modest and short-lived. Analysts observe that the predictability of the escrow schedule reduces the likelihood of surprise selling pressure. Instead, XRP price movements tended to follow broader market sentiment, with unlock-related volatility limited by the relocking practice and operational allocations.
Context and implications for traders: For traders and portfolio managers, the key takeaway is that the escrow mechanism makes monthly supply changes transparent and largely predictable. While the net addition of roughly 3.6 billion XRP in 2025 is material, the portion immediately entering exchanges appears limited. Price sensitivity will therefore depend more on broader market liquidity and demand for XRP in payments and institutional flows than on the mechanics of the escrow alone.
