Ripple Labs usually releases 1 billion XRP from its escrow account on the first day of every month as part of an automated process since 2017.
With the circulation of the symbol around 62.46 billion at press time, the release of August 1 will temporarily increase by 1.6%.
Ripple to unlock XRP in escrow
Although the company receives 1 billion XRP every month, it usually closes between 60% and 80% to the new escrow agreement.
For example, Ripple has closed 700 million XRP every month in 2026 after receiving 1 billion tokens, thus reducing the monthly network in addition to the circulation of only 300 million tokens.
Therefore, Ripple can only increase the number of altcoins by about 0.48% in August if it follows the past.
It is worth noting that the escrow account had approximately 32,444,999,933 XRP, worth $35.6 billion, at the time of writing, according to data from The price of XRPSCAN.
