Ripple (XRP) Undertakes Its Monthly Rebalancing Operation, Moving 1 Billion XRP

On May 1, 2025, Ripple undertook its monthly rebalancing operation, transferring 1 billion XRP across its wallet ecosystem.

The company initiated the transfer by dispatching 500 million XRP from its Ripple (26) wallet in coordinated movements involving six Ripple-managed addresses. This tranche was split between two internal destinations: 300 million XRP arrived at Ripple (1), and 200 million XRP went to Ripple (14), within one minute.

Shortly afterward, Ripple (27) activated the second half of the maneuver. At 22:56, it moved 300 million XRP to Ripple (14), further increasing that wallet’s total with an additional transfer on top of what it had just received.

Within minutes, Ripple (27) also sent 30 million XRP to Ripple (15) and allocated another 170 million to Ripple (51), completing the 1 billion XRP distribution.

To summarize: Ripple (1) received 300 million XRP, Ripple (14) collected 500 million in two segments, Ripple (15) gained 30 million, and Ripple (51) acquired 170 million. These allocations were finalized within a tight timeframe on the evening of May 1.

Then, Ripple took decisive action to secure most of the moved tokens. At 23:01, Ripple (14) locked its entire 500 million XRP into escrow, followed closely by Ripple (15), which placed its full 30 million XRP into escrow a minute later.

Ripple (51) completed this action at 23:04, sealing away its 170 million tokens. In total, these escrow operations locked up 700 million XRP.

Interestingly, Ripple (1), the address that received 300 million XRP, has not transferred its share to escrow—at least not as of press time—leaving room for speculation about its intended use.

It is clear that there is no new token release from escrow in May 2025. This continues the pattern from April 2025, when Ripple moved 1 billion XRP and re-escrowed 700 million before any scheduled release occurred. In that case, the escrow release followed two days later.

Of the 700 million XRP re-escrowed by Ripple, the tokens are valued at approximately $1.547 billion, based on XRP’s current trading value of $2.21. The entire 1 billion XRP involved in these operations is valued at roughly $2.21 billion.

As the broader crypto market shows signs of recovery with Bitcoin reclaiming ground above $97,000 for a macro-level rebound, XRP faces resistance near $2.20 amidst Ripple’s ongoing token management activities.

In the 24-hour trading period, XRP experienced a slight decline of 0.08%.
