- Ripple Leaves $1.25B in XRP Untouched After October Unlock — this brief
Ripple has left 1 billion 
XRP, worth approximately $1.25 billion at current prices, untouched in two company wallets since its October 1 unlock. This information comes from checks on the XRP ledger cited on October 27, which show that neither wallet has sent any payments since the unlock.
Under Ripple's monthly escrow plan, another 1 billion XRP is set to be released on November 1. This scheduled release comes at a time when the broader cryptocurrency market is experiencing a downturn, with 
Bitcoin down 4.94% in the last 24 hours and the overall market cap at $2.67 trillion.
The lack of movement from the unlocked XRP could be a strategic decision by Ripple to manage supply and support price stability. This is particularly relevant given the recent bank approval Ripple received, which, according to DailyCoin, advances its custody and stablecoin business but may not immediately translate into increased XRP demand.
XRP's current price is $1.25, representing a 4.20% decrease over the past 24 hours and a 6.04% decrease over the last seven days. The cryptocurrency's market cap stands at $78.93 billion, reflecting the broader market's bearish sentiment.
The Fear & Greed Index is at 30, indicating a state of 'Fear' in the market. This context is important as it suggests that investors are cautious, and Ripple's decision not to move the XRP could be influenced by the prevailing market conditions.
Since this brief published about 21 hours ago, XRP (XRP) has moved from $1.25 to $1.25 — +0.00%.
