<p>Ripple is locked in a high-stakes legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Despite this, Ripple's Q3 report has sparked lively discussions in the crypto community, especially regarding changes in XRP holdings and market activity. </p>   
<p>Let’s break down the key details!</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-s-xrp-holdings-and-escrow-reserve-drop">Ripple’s XRP Holdings and Escrow Reserve&nbsp;Drop</h2>   
<p>The report focuses on two significant updates: a decrease in Ripple's XRP holdings and a reduction in its escrow reserve. Ripple’s XRP holdings fell by roughly 5.24% during Q3, bringing the total down to 4.43 billion XRP.</p>   
<p>Additionally, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/xrp-news-the-impact-of-ripples-escrow-on-xrp-unlock-and-market-prices/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple’s escrow reserve</a>, which helps control the supply of XRP, decreased by about 1.5%, dropping from 39.5 billion XRP to 38.9 billion XRP. To provide context, this reserve held nearly 55 billion XRP back in 2017.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-trading-volumes-spike">Trading Volumes Spike </h2>   
<p>The report also highlights a rise in XRP trading volumes, pointing to increased market activity and investor interest.</p>
