Ripple locks 700 million XRP back into escrow after unlocking 1 billion tokens in May

Ripple completed its May escrow process by locking 700 million XRP tokens back into escrow after initially unlocking 1 billion tokens at the start of the month. This monthly move is part of Ripple's routine supply management to control XRP liquidity and maintain predictable supply flows. Despite stable prices around $1.38, XRP has shown positive demand signals with a modest price increase and decreasing exchange reserves. The XRP community remains optimistic about the asset's performance in May, expecting stronger price gains ahead.
