XRP
Why XRP is down 1.0% in the last hour
Analysis
XRP slipped ~1% over the past hour as traders digested Ripple’s July escrow activity, including the release of exactly 300M XRP and the re-locking of 70% of the unlock—an update that can weigh on near-term sentiment around circulating supply even if much is re-escrowed (U.Today). At the same time, despite constructive longer-term headlines like an XRPL lending proposal aimed at enabling institutional credit, and reports of wallet growth hitting a 3‑month high, market commentary still flagged bearish control in the near term, aligning with the small pullback (Bitcoinist, AMBCrypto).
