Ripple's scheduled November escrow unlock put 1 billion XRP into circulation, according to Whale Alert. In the past, Ripple has returned a large portion of unlocked XRP to escrow. Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger is waiting on a fix amendment that could activate on Nov 4, 2026.
Ripple's scheduled November escrow unlock released 1 billion XRP into circulation, with Whale Alert reporting two transactions. Each one moved 500,000,000 XRP, valued at 626,430,089 USD.
Not all unlocked XRP stays on the market
Ripple's monthly unlocks are part of the company's effort to increase transparency and predictability around XRP distribution. Ripple initially put 55 billion XRP in escrow and releases it in an organized fashion over time to manage how much XRP enters circulation.
However, not all of the 1 billion XRP stays on the market. In the past, Ripple has returned about 700 million XRP to escrow and kept some of the unlocked tokens for operational needs, liquidity, and ecosystem-related activities.
RLUSD lands on Coinbase
October was a big month for Ripple and the XRP ecosystem. RLUSD was listed on Coinbase, letting clients trade and manage it through Coinbase Prime, Coinbase Exchange, and the Coinbase Retail app, with 1:1 conversion from U.S. dollars and other supported USD-denominated stablecoins.
XRP Ledger eyes the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment
On the technical side, the XRP Ledger is set for fixes and improvements over the next few days. According to XRPScan data, the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment began its two-week activation window on Oct 21, 2026, and could activate as early as 2:46 PM UTC on Nov 4, 2026.
Validator support must stay above 80% for the amendment to activate. If support slips to 80% or lower even once, the amendment is rejected and the 14-day timer starts over.
