According to XRPScan data, 33,895,428,762 $XRP are currently left in escrow. X handle XRPwallets shared this information in a recent tweet.

February escrow distribution concluded with Ripple unlocking one billion $XRP while relocking 700 million $XRP subsequently. On Feb. 1, in its usual practice, Ripple unlocked one billion tokens from the $XRP escrow in four separate transactions.

Whale Alert reported four transactions that saw a cumulative one billion $XRP unlocked by Ripple: 400,000,000 $XRP worth $646,794,569; 100,000,000 $XRP worth $161,739,371 and 400,000,000 $XRP worth 646,995,939 at the time of unlocking and 100,000,000 $XRP worth $161,739,371.

On Feb. 2, 700 million $XRP were relocked in Ripple escrow. Ripple usually returns a portion of its unlocked $XRP tokens following every monthly release of one billion tokens from its escrow. This sees unused $XRP returned to escrow to maintain market stability and manage supply predictability.

Whale Alert reported two transactions of 400,000,000 $XRP worth $625,176,721 and 300,000,000 $XRP worth $470,793,741 locked in escrow at Ripple.

FEB escrow distribution has concluded. XRPscan now confirms 33.895B remaining in Escrow.

For MAR we expect to see 33.595B $XRP after a 1B unlock and 700M Re-lock process of MAR 1, 2026 Escrow.

XRPwallets shared expectations ahead regarding $XRP escrow, anticipating a total of 33.595 billion $XRP left in escrow after Ripple's one billion unlocking in March and 700 million $XRP relocked after.

In December 2017, Ripple placed 55 billion $XRP (55% of the total supply) into escrow, releasing one billion $XRP monthly over 55 months, with unused funds relocked.
