Ripple has finalized its monthly XRP release for January, according to the most recent on-chain data.
The company has returned a total of 700 million XRP to its escrow wallets following the monthly release on Jan. 1, effectively keeping the majority of the newly unlocked tokens off the open market.

This figure shows the supply that remains under the control of the San Francisco-based enterprise blockchain company.
The 34 billion token figure comes after the standard monthly unlock and subsequent re-locking of excess tokens.
As reported by U.Today, the January cycle adhered to Ripple’s long-standing mechanism of releasing 1 billion XRP at the start of the month. The company usually uses these tokens to support liquidity and operational needs.

For comparison, some irregularities had been observed throughout 2025 with split transactions or timing anomalies.
A similar pattern is expected to play out next month, meaning that roughly 700 million XRP will likely be returned to escrow.
This would leave approximately 33.885 billion XRP in escrow.
Current network data shows a circulating supply of 65.78 billion XRP. Notably, over 14.2 million tokens remain permanently burned.
Fake "heavy selling" memo
As reported by U.Today, a sarcastic message was recently attached to Ripple’s Jan. 1 escrow release. The puzzling facetious message briefly misled some members of the XRP community on Thursday. It falsely stated that the company had "dumped" $8 billion on retail investors in 2025.
The sarcastic memo was the work of an on-chain "troll" who exploited the feature of XRP Ledger (XRPL) that makes it possible to permanently embed text in the blockchain’s history.
