The price of XRP has retraced 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 XRP pullback more pronounced in relative terms.

On July 30, the trading volume of XRP slightly decreased compared to previous peaks, with analysts noting 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, not 1 billion tokens.
