The XRP custody release schedule is quite interesting. It unlocks on the first day of each month, but with a hard cap—1 billion XRP—and no support for emergency early releases. This design seems conservative, but it also creates interesting market effects.

This rigid supply means that when market demand suddenly surges, the circulating supply can't keep up, leading to more obvious price fluctuations. In the short term, this reduces the risk of a crash—there's no large influx of new coins to dump—but on the other hand, investors can use this predictable unlocking cycle to anticipate price movements. Savvy traders are basically watching the actions around the first day of each month.

As of recent data, XRP is priced at $1.87, up 0.24% in 24 hours. This steady performance, to some extent, also reflects the market's recognition of this supply mechanism.

On the 1st of every month, traders are waiting to buy the dip or sell off.

ngl the escrow mechanics are elegant but lemme be blunt—predicting price swings around predictable unlock cycles is sorta like saying the math works so reality must follow. it doesn't always. 1.87 though, that's solid.

Holding XRP unlocks on the first day of each month, this trading is really competitive... But indeed, this kind of predictability is much more reliable than those coins that randomly dump.

This design is really aggressive. On the first day of each month, 1 billion is released all at once, and traders are all waiting to harvest the profits.

Starting from the first day of each month, I eagerly await. This move is indeed a bit bold. The hard cap of 1 billion tokens seems conservative but is actually quite clever—it's really hard for the price to fall.

Well, this mechanism is actually about betting on those who are optimistic in the long term and can hold on.
