⏳ RIPPLE PREPARES FOR THE "DUMP" $XRP FIRST TIME OF THE YEAR 2026! 📉
Finbold reports on a recurring event that always sparks controversy in the crypto community: Ripple is preparing for its first unlock and sale (often referred to as a "dump") of XRP ($XRP) according to its schedule in 2026.
🔑 Escrow Mechanism and Supply Pressure
This event relates to the massive escrow mechanism that Ripple has set up. According to the agreement, 1 billion XRP is automatically unlocked from escrow on the first day of each month.
Ripple's Move: Although Ripple often re-locks a large portion of this XRP, the remainder is sold by the company on the market to fund its operations, develop the ecosystem, and various partnership deals.
Market Concerns: The continuous supply of a large amount of XRP into the market creates significant selling pressure and is one of the factors that makes it difficult for XRP's price to achieve strong and sustainable growth.
Company's Perspective: Ripple has always defended this action, arguing that selling XRP is necessary to build utility and promote the adoption of their cross-border payment solutions.
This unlock at the beginning of 2026 will signal another year where the XRP community must face periodic supply pressure from the founding company.
