Ripple recently unlocked 500 million XRP from escrow for February 2025, which is half the usual amount. This deviates from the typical 1 billion XRP released on the first day of each month. Additionally, Ripple decided to lock up 700 million XRP before the release, leading to a deflationary effect. However, despite these developments, XRP's price has been declining due to a broader crypto market trend, with Bitcoin also experiencing a slump. Altcoins like Dogecoin and Cardano have also reacted poorly to the market crash.
