Ripple will release 1 billion XRP from escrow on May 1 as part of its monthly schedule started in 2017 to improve transparency and supply predictability. The unlocked XRP, worth about $1.4 billion at current prices, usually does not flood the market immediately since Ripple re-locks 60-80% of tokens. This release is unlikely to significantly affect XRP prices, which are currently weak and facing potential further declines below $1 due to broader market trends and technical factors. Investors should consider their risk tolerance and time horizon rather than the escrow event alone when deciding to trade XRP.
