#World Cup Predictions: 100,000 USDT Daily #HTX Invites You to Share 600K USDT in Gift Packs #BTC Prophet: 20-Day 380 Million HTX Challenge A pro-XRP advocate is pressing Ripple to speed up its token releases, reigniting debate over the company’s monthly escrow mechanics and their impact on XRP’s market outlook. Bill Morgan, an attorney and prominent XRP commentator, argued this week that Ripple should put more of the monthly 1 billion XRP unlock into circulation instead of locking large portions back up. “Ripple should release more of the 1 billion each month and not lock so much back in escrow,” Morgan wrote, adding that a faster release could let the market treat XRP as “hard money” sooner. How Ripple’s escrow works - Ripple’s escrow system automatically unlocks 1 billion XRP at the start of each month. - Rather than releasing the full billion into circulation, Ripple typically uses some for operations, liquidity and institutional deals, then returns unused tokens to new escrow contracts. - That practice makes it difficult to predict when all escrowed XRP will be fully circulated. Current supply picture and timeline - After the June 1 unlock, roughly 61.85 billion XRP were in circulation and about 38.15 billion remained locked. - If Ripple continues returning large portions of monthly unlocks to escrow, the remaining supply could take close to another decade to run down. Why Morgan wants faster releases Morgan frames a full circulating supply as central to XRP’s narrative as a store of value.
