Ripple Could Have 2 Billion Unlocked XRP in Two Wallets as November Escrow Release Approaches

Ripple could access 2 billion XRP across two wallets by November 1, per on-chain data. The company previously held 1 billion XRP in these wallets post-October escrow releases. Ripple typically re-escrows a portion of released XRP, mitigating potential supply pressure. XRP has faced selling pressure, with 6.05 billion XRP moved to exchanges in 30 days, though not all were sold.
