XRP News: $1.49B Unlock Leaves Net Supply Unclear

The unlock followed Ripple’s monthly escrow cycle, which can release up to 1 billion XRP and does not confirm a new sale or net supply increase.

  • On October 1, Ripple released 1 billion XRP from escrow valued at approximately $1.49 billion across four rapid transactions, though the escrow release does not confirm immediate market sale of the tokens.
  • Shareholders of Armada Acquisition Corp. II approved the Evernorth merger on September 30, advancing a 473 million XRP treasury valued at around $719 million, with the business combination expected to close on October 7.
  • Analysts identify the $1.54–$1.56 range as immediate resistance, while CoinGlass data places support around $1.46–$1.48; XRP remains below its September peak of $1.65 after struggling to sustain upward momentum.
  • Veteran trader Peter Brandt dismissed XRP as a "fool coin," arguing that payment utility does not inherently drive investment value, while Flare co-founder Hugo Philion questioned the market's limited price reaction.
  • XRP has dropped about 50% over the past year, underperforming Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, which declined 30%, 38%, and 47% respectively; investors monitor whether the token can reclaim the $1.60 level.
