XRP Surges 24,602% Despite Ripple's Ongoing Sales — Debate Reignites Over Token Dump Claims
Viral thread claims Ripple sells XRP monthly to fund operations and dilute holders. It cites 100B total supply, 55B locked, 1B/month release, 70–80% relocked, and 200–300M XRP for ops (~$400M/mo); critics say price tracks Bitcoin and escrow dilution fades.
Abstract: The article examines claims that Ripple systematically sells XRP to fund operations, detailing the tokenomics (100B XRP, 55B in escrow with 1B/mo release and relocking, 200–300M for ops) and presenting counterarguments that XRP price movements align more with Bitcoin, not ongoing sales, while escrow shrinkage reduces future dilution and XRP has posted large gains since inception.
