Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP XRP $1.63 24h volatility: 1.5% Market cap: $99.32 B Vol. 24h: $5.61 B —worth approximately $1.63 billion—on February 2, as part of its funding strategy. 300 million XRP—worth half a billion dollars—are now reserved at its main treasury account, reserved for the company’s sales this month. Coinspeaker researched this information via publicly available, on-chain data retrieved from Ripple-owned accounts, labeled by XRPScan.

Notably, the funds come from previously locked XRP tokens via escrows created in 2022 that date back to XRP’s pre-mint and initial distribution. February 2026’s unlocks happened from the accounts labeled as Ripple (9) and Ripple (28), with four escrows reaching finality on Feb. 1.

Each account unlocked 500 million XRP in total, out of which came from escrows of 100 million and 400 million XRP tokens. These were then reallocated to three other accounts, following a pattern observed in previous months.

The Ripple (28) account sent 100 million XRP to Ripple (14) and 400 million XRP to Ripple (15), which have been re-locked in new escrows set to finish (and unlock) in December 2026. Meanwhile, the Ripple (9) account sent 200 million XRP to Ripple (14) for the same reason, plus 300 million tokens to Ripple (1), identified as the company’s liquid treasury account—used for funds distribution operations like OTC sales and exchange deposits.

XRP Price Analysis

As of this writing, XRP is trading at $1.63 per token, with accumulated losses of 18% in the past 30 days, following macro uncertainty and a trend also seen in most of the other cryptocurrencies. For example, crypto products recorded a net outflow of $1.7 billion in the last week alone, affecting the supply side of their underlying assets in open markets.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, XRP has a market capitalization of nearly $100 billion, positioned as the fifth-largest crypto by market cap. With a currently circulating supply of 60 billion XRP, the recent unlock represents 1.66% of that amount and the 300 million reserved for February operations represents 0.5% of that active supply.

On the other hand, Ripple, the company behind XRP’s issuance, unlocks, and ongoing developments, continues to push and advance in many areas, with a highlight to compliance-related movements. In the most recent development, Ripple has been granted a full Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license by Luxembourg’s CSSF, as Coinspeaker reported.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…
