The price of XRP has retreated from a monthly high of around $3.66 reached at the end of July. The decline appears to be related to profit-taking by short-term traders and the exit of speculators. During the same period, Bitcoin and Ethereum lost only 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, making the retreat of XRP more pronounced in relative terms.

On July 30, the trading volume of XRP decreased slightly compared to previous peaks, while analysts noted increased activity from whales — over 70 million XRP were transferred from inactive wallets, indicating accumulation by large holders.

The upcoming release on August 1 is part of Ripple's monthly escrow program, under which up to 1 billion XRP is unlocked each month.

According to statistics, Ripple returns 60-70%, leaving a small portion to support operations and maintain liquidity. This means that the actual inflow into the circulating supply is usually around 300-400 million XRP, rather than 1 billion tokens.
