XRP’s Escrow Play: Price Catalyst, Not a Cap

Ripple’s escrow strategy—often misunderstood as a supply suppressant—might actually fuel XRP’s next rally. Here’s why the market’s reading it wrong.

The mechanics of artificial scarcity

Locking up 55% of XRP’s total supply in escrow doesn’t just ’manage inflation’—it creates a ticking time bomb of pent-up demand. Every monthly unlock becomes a potential buying frenzy trigger.

Wall Street’s worst-kept secret

Institutional players love predictable liquidity events. Ripple’s scheduled releases turn escrow into a de facto options market—without the pesky SEC oversight. How very crypto of them.

The cynical take

Let’s be real: this is centralized supply manipulation dressed in decentralized finery. But in a market where perception trumps fundamentals? That might just be the rocket fuel XRP needs.
