Ripple released 1 billion XRP tokens from its controlled escrow accounts via three separate transactions of 500 million, 400 million, and 100 million XRP. [^1]

As of August 31, approximately 32.28 billion XRP remained locked in Ripple's on-ledger escrow before the September 1 release. [^2]

Following the September 1 unlock, approximately 31.28 billion XRP remains locked in Ripple's existing escrow balance. [^3]

Ripple has historically re-escrowed the portion of each monthly release, so the unlock does not mean 1 billion XRP has been sold. [^4]
