<p>In August, nearly $1.5 billion worth of tokens from major crypto projects will be unlocked, starting with a substantial release of 1 billion XRP tokens worth $609 million on August 1 by Ripple. As previously discussed in a CNF <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-foresees-exponential-growth-in-rwa-tokenization-with-archax-partnership-2/">post</a>, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse foresees exponential growth in RWA tokenization with the Archax partnership.</p> 
<p>As of now, Ripple has been unlocking 1 billion XRP monthly since 2017 but often re-locks a large portion, as it did in June by re-locking 800 million XRP and releasing 300 million into circulation.</p> 
<p>As highlighted in today’s CNF YouTube video, other significant unlocks include 600 million Wormhole tokens worth $180.5 million on August 3, and 9.4 million Avalanche tokens valued at $268 million on August 20.</p>
