SpainXRP escrow release of 1 billion XRP
On November 1, 2026, the XRP Ledger escrow contracts are scheduled to open and release 1 billion XRP. The event concerns XRP and is described as the supply-side date that governs the market in November.
What is happening
On November 1, escrow contracts on the XRP Ledger open and release 1 billion XRP. The date is confirmed. The source article, published on October 19, 2026, identifies it as the unchanged date that governs the supply side of the XRP market next month.
For scale, the article cites a circulating supply of 63.13 billion XRP out of a total of 99.99 billion, and a market value of about $82.16 billion at a price of $1.30. The coin was trading between a daily low of $1.26 and a high of $1.32 on the day of writing. The article also notes that the amount of XRP destroyed through network fees since the previous Sunday, 510.88 XRP, is negligible against the size of the release.
The article does not state how much of the released XRP will return to escrow or be sold. It only confirms the opening of the contracts and the 1 billion XRP amount.
Why it matters
An escrow release increases the amount of XRP that can reach the market. The source describes the November 1 date as the one governing the supply side, set against a fee burn that is tiny by comparison. Holders and traders may therefore treat the date as a fixed reference point when assessing supply.
The article also shows the surrounding backdrop: XRP exchange reserves reached a local high of 11.81 billion XRP (about 18.7 percent of circulating supply), and US spot XRP ETFs recorded a net weekly outflow of $1.84 million, ending 13 inflow weeks. These figures are context only; the article stresses that exchange reserves are estimates and that holdings on exchanges are not by themselves a sell signal. Things to watch around the date include exchange reserves, fund flows and spot turnover, which the article treats as a better demand gauge than raw on-chain transfer volume. This is not a price forecast or financial advice.
