Expand ICYMI: Ripple will unlock 1 billion XRP (approximately $2.5 billion) from its escrow account today as part of its monthly release cycle. • Typically, 70-80% of this will be relocked. • 200-300 million will be used for operations, institutional sales, or ecosystem support. Analysts expect this release to have a negligible impact on the price, but traders are closely watching how many XRP Ripple will relock this time.

Expand Top experts say $XRP's target is trillions of dollars in transactions, not billions—Western Union is ignoring the bigger picture. #Ripple 🧵🧵🧵 Following Western Union's deal with Solana, critics have continued to slam XRP, and now a new voice has joined the debate. Dom Kwok, co-founder of easyJet and an XRP supporter, believes the market's focus is too narrow. He points out that headlines celebrating Western Union's decision to launch its stablecoin on Solana ignore the much more significant structural shift happening at Ripple. In his view, the focus shouldn't be on Western Union's "billions of dollars" in transaction volume, but rather on Ripple's growing influence in global payments and liquidity flows, which could reach trillions of dollars. Kwok notes that while Western Union's annual transaction volume is in the billions of dollars, its choice of Solana, while noteworthy, is not transformative. He believes Ripple is quietly forging connections with financial giants several orders of magnitude larger. Unlike pilot partnerships that could abruptly end, Ripple's acquisitions give the company direct ownership and far-reaching influence over vast financial pipelines. Mr. Guo highlighted three key acquisitions in the past year: Hidden Road, a top global brokerage firm with $3 trillion in annual clearings. GTreasury, a global money management company that powers trillions of dollars in payment flows annually across more than 160 countries. Rail, a rapidly growing payments platform handling 10% of global stablecoin payments. Essentially, ownership is crucial. Unlike partnerships that could dissolve due to changes in company strategy, acquisitions allow Ripple to control the long-term direction of these new infrastructures. Mr. Guo's core argument is that XRP is at the "center of everything." With Ripple now fully controlling its platform handling trillions of dollars in liquidity, the company has both the capability and the incentive to gradually migrate settlement activity to the XRP ledger. Meanwhile, critics have questioned Western Union's deal with Solana, arguing that XRP's applications outside of Ripple may be limited. Specifically, market commentator Scott Melker questions XRP's place in today's payments ecosystem, noting that Western Union, despite years of testing its XRP network, ultimately chose Solana over the XRP Ledger. Western Union plans to launch its USDPT stablecoin on Solana in 2026 to enable global stablecoin transfers and withdrawals. The company expects to attract over $100 billion in cross-border transactions annually to Solana. Kwok believes the focus should be on the trillions of dollars in transactions Ripple plans to handle, not the billions of dollars. "Don't miss the forest for the trees," he points out, adding that Ripple is building mechanisms to push XRP to the core of trillions of dollars in institutional settlements. “It’s trillions of dollars, not billions,” Kwok emphasized in conclusion. Other industry leaders echoed Kwok’s point. Flare CEO Hugo Philion previously dismissed concerns that Western Union’s partnership with Solana would impact Ripple or XRPL. He stressed that Ripple’s focus is on trading and asset management, as evidenced by its acquisitions of GTreasury and Hidden Road (Ripple Prime). Furthermore…

Expand Long-term holders are selling $260 million worth of #XRP daily: Details. 🧵🧵🧵 A recent report from Glassnode indicates that long-term holders are increasing profit-taking, which is one of the factors putting pressure on XRP's price. Despite recent positive macroeconomic factors such as the Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate cut, confirmation that quantitative tightening will end in December, and easing US-China trade tensions, the cryptocurrency market has remained sluggish in recent days. Even so, the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has still evaporated by $170 billion in the past four days, falling below the $4 trillion mark. While XRP has also been affected by the overall market crash, it appears to be more resilient than most cryptocurrencies, rising more than 1% in the past 24 hours. Glassnode recently confirmed that profit-taking by long-term holders has exacerbated the price pressure on XRP due to its current low price. According to the market analysis platform, long-term holders who bought XRP before its November 2024 breakout have been accelerating their profit-taking since August 2025. For reference, prior to November 2024, XRP's price briefly fell below $1 due to the collapse of the Terra ecosystem in May 2022. For over two years afterward, the altcoin's price mostly fluctuated between $0.4 and $0.6, occasionally reaching $0.8 and periodically dipping to $0.3. Interestingly, during this period, while others abandoned XRP, some investors took advantage of the price drops to buy more tokens at lower prices. After XRP's price surged 281% in November 2024, approaching $2, these long-term holders who bought before the breakout now reap huge profits. Currently, some investors have begun taking profits, especially given that XRP's price has been hovering around $2 for an extended period. According to Glassnode data, these investors are selling an average of $36 million worth of XRP daily. However, XRP plummeted from its high of $3.66 in mid-July, and attempts to rebound in early August failed. Since then, long-term holders have significantly increased profit-taking, by approximately 580%, with daily sales surging from $36 million to approximately $260 million. The attached chart confirms this. Notably, profit-taking surged during the rally from November 2024 to January 2025, but subsequently subsided between February and July. However, following the July rally and pullback, profit-taking surged to over $500 million daily in early August before settling back to the current $260 million. The impact on XRP's price is evident. Specifically, since the July crash, XRP's price has continued to decline, forming a descending channel on the daily chart. It's worth noting that if profit-taking decreases while whales increase their buying activity, XRP may experience a much-needed rebound, breaking through the current channel.

Expand If the custodian mechanism reduces the XRP supply by 20%, the new price of XRP could reach $66.67. 🧵🧵🧵 Currently, the total supply of XRP is a staggering 99.9 billion. Notably, approximately 60 billion are already in circulation, while 35 billion remain in custodian custody by Ripple. However, this supply situation has long been a point of contention within the XRP community. Specifically, some argue that Ripple should burn custodian tokens, arguing that this would drive up the price and alleviate concerns about centralized supply. However, no one can definitively say what impact this would have on the value of XRP. Therefore, we consulted Google Gemini about what would happen if Ripple burned 20% of the total XRP supply. Gemini responded that they provided a hypothetical model but clarified that the prediction was entirely theoretical. They explained that the final outcome would depend on realistic factors such as investor demand, token utility, and regulation, not just a reduction in supply. In its hypothetical scenario, Gemini assumes the burning of 20% of the total supply, approximately 19.98 billion tokens. This would reduce the total supply from 99.9 billion to approximately 79.92 billion tokens. It's worth noting that if all the burned tokens came from custodial accounts, the custodial pool would decrease from 35 billion XRP to approximately 15.02 billion. However, since the burning only affects tokens in custodial accounts, the number of tokens in circulation would remain unchanged at 60 billion. Gemini points out that this won't immediately change the token's trading volume, but it will significantly reduce future supply. According to the chatbot, this supply reduction could create long-term upward pressure, as reduced supply tends to drive up value when demand remains stable or increasing. Based on this, Gemini proposes its so-called "super-optimistic" scenario. In this scenario, the burning would trigger strong market excitement, receive clear support from regulators, and lead to higher adoption rates for XRP Ledger. Under these ideal conditions, Gemini predicts that XRP's market capitalization could surge to approximately $4 trillion. This figure would be nearly 28 times higher than XRP's current market capitalization of $144 billion. For reference, the current total market capitalization of the entire cryptocurrency market is approximately $4 trillion. Based on this assumption, Gemini calculated XRP's potential new price by dividing the predicted $4 trillion market capitalization by the circulating supply of 60 billion tokens. The result is approximately $66.67 per XRP. This is a significant increase from the current price of $2.40, representing a 27.8-fold rise. Gemini points out that this is not a prediction, but a theoretical assessment designed to demonstrate the potentially huge impact of a large-scale sell-off of XRP if the market reacts positively. However, Ripple CTO David Schwartz previously stated that burning XRP tokens might not have any impact on XRP's price at all.
