Ripple has not moved any of the 1 billion XRP unlocked in October, despite having the option to do so. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹119 ($1.25). This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 2 outlets (Live Bitcoin News, DailyCoin), plus live market data, as of Fri, 30 Oct 2026 16:00:01 UTC.
Ripple's decision to leave the unlocked XRP untouched could signal a strategic shift in its liquidity management or a response to regulatory pressures, impacting XRP's market dynamics.
- Ripple hasn't moved 1 billion XRP from October's unlock after 26 days.
- Another 1 billion XRP is set to unlock on November 1.
- XRP price is down 4.20% in the last 24 hours amid broader market decline.
Both Live Bitcoin News and DailyCoin report that Ripple has not moved the 1 billion XRP unlocked in October, with the funds remaining idle in company wallets for 26 days. They agree on the upcoming November 1 unlock of another 1 billion XRP. However, DailyCoin emphasizes Ripple's recent bank approval and its potential impact on custody and stablecoin business, while Live Bitcoin News focuses on the timing of the unlocks and their significance for XRP liquidity.

Ripple has left the 1 billion 
XRP unlocked in October untouched in two company wallets, according to data from the XRP ledger cited on October 27. This marks 26 days since the funds were made available, with neither wallet showing any outgoing activity since the unlock.
The XRP unlock is part of Ripple's monthly escrow plan, which sees 1 billion XRP released every month. The next 1 billion XRP unlock is scheduled for November 1. This consistent pattern of unlocks has been a regular feature of Ripple's operations, but the decision to leave the October funds untouched is notable.
Multiple outlets, including Live 
Bitcoin News and DailyCoin, confirm that the funds remain idle. While Live Bitcoin News highlights the potential market implications of Ripple's decision, DailyCoin suggests that Ripple's recent bank approval could be a more significant factor in its strategic direction, particularly in relation to custody and stablecoin services.
The XRP market has seen a 4.20% decline in the last 24 hours, with the coin currently trading at $1.25. This drop is part of a broader market downturn, with the total crypto market cap down to $2.67 trillion and Bitcoin experiencing a 4.94% decrease in the same period.
The Fear & Greed Index stands at 30, indicating a 'Fear' sentiment in the market. The upcoming November 1 unlock will be closely watched by investors and analysts to see if Ripple's strategy changes or if the trend of leaving the funds untouched continues.
Since this brief published about 21 hours ago, XRP (XRP) has moved from ₹119.12$1.25 to ₹119.12$1.25 — +0.00%.
The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution).

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹130.44 (about $1.25), down 4.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.5% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
