April

<div class="finbold">
 <p class="paragraph">Ripple sold $52 million worth of 100 million XRP tokens from this month’s sell-off reserves on April 24. This dump marks the end of April’s tokens unlock, and the company prepares for May’s 1 billion XRP release.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">On April 1, Ripple released 1 billion of its tokens from the initial distribution, locked in monthly escrows until 2027. The company then sent 200 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> XRP to its treasury account and locked the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="remaining" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/remaining.html">remaining</a> 800 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> in new escrows.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, Ripple sold the first half on April 14 amid geopolitical tensions with an escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict. This was the longest waiting period recently observed for Ripple’s monthly sell-offs, which concluded on April 24.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">After receiving the first 100 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> this month, Ripple’s destination account <em>rP4X2…sKxv3</em> distributed some tokens to four unlabeled accounts. However, the distributed amount surpassed 120 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> XRP, which is higher than what was received, likely using previous reserves.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Following Ripple’s second selling activity, the account distributed over 152 million XRP to three of the same unlabeled accounts, of which 2 million were for a different one.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In particular, <em>rhWt2…E32hk</em> received the most of April’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="sell-" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sell.html">sell-</a>offs.

 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="xrp-price-analysis">XRP price analysis</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">It is noteworthy how Ripple sales directly impact XRP’s price, considering the supply pressure they create on the spot market. Historically, XRP suffered a local crash most of the time Ripple sold its tokens.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In 2024, only three out of 10 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="sell-" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/sell.html">sell-</a>off days had positive price action: February 5, 11, and April 14. All the other seven days were of local crashes, evidencing the importance of monitoring the company’s activities.</p>
