XRP faces technical pressure, Ripple is about to launch a new round of token release
Ripple announces that the next batch of digital assets will be released from escrow accounts. According to the established plan for 2026, the company will unlock 1 billion XRP tokens. This periodic token release is an important method for Ripple to control liquidity.
Historically, Ripple has typically re-locked 60% to 80% of the released tokens after each unlock. This practice effectively manages the supply pressure of tokens in the secondary market and mitigates price impact.
From a technical perspective, XRP is currently in a correction phase. The latest market data shows that XRP is priced at $2.07, down 12.16% over the past 7 days, but still up 2.63% over a 30-day period. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for the crypto asset is in a neutral to weak zone, indicating that short-term selling pressure still exists. Meanwhile, XRP’s price is currently trading below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which typically suggests that the medium-term trend remains under downward pressure.
Market analysts believe that although Ripple’s token release appears to increase supply pressure, the historical practice of re-locking the majority of tokens actually helps stabilize market expectations. Investors should pay attention to Ripple’s specific actions after the token unlock and the market’s reaction to this news.
