The XRP Ledger has confirmed the locking of 4,000,000 XRP, equivalent to approximately $10.5 million, in an escrow process on October 29, 2025. Whale Alert data revealed that the tokens were transferred to the Flare Core Vault, which already holds over 1,570,000,000 XRP and plays a central role in the Flare network's infrastructure for collateral and governance support.

This event is part of a broader ecosystem where escrows manage over 35,000,000,000 XRP, accounting for about 33% of XRP's total supply. Unlike standard token releases tied to dates, the locked XRP represents transferable claims that can move between entities and function as financial instruments, directly shaping circulating supply and market liquidity.

The operation highlights how strategic escrow management, rather than just trading volumes, influences XRP's supply dynamics, with implications for price stability and liquidity planning. Transparency in such moves offers insight into institutional use of on-chain tools for asset management.
