Ripple CTO Drops Bomb: Escrowed $XRP Rights Can Be Sold
Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer just confirmed one of the biggest hidden twists in the XRP story.
The 35.05 billion XRP locked in escrow were widely believed to be untouchable. The legal rights to these locked tokens can actually be sold or transferred.
The New Kind of Leverage
This means Ripple cannot move the tokens until their scheduled monthly unlocks. However, the company can sell the rights to receive those tokens in the future. This effectively transfers future control without breaking the current escrow lock.
Here is where the strategic move gets bigger:
Evernorth, a Ripple-backed firm, is preparing a publicly-traded $XRP Treasury. This firm already holds almost $1 billion worth of XRP ahead of its launch.
This suggests a clear plan. While the market focuses on short-term price swings, Ripple is playing a long game. They are re-engineering how control and liquidity work around the $XRP$ supply.
This is not a new token unlock. It is a new kind of leverage. It is legal, strategic, and deeply institutional.
The next time someone says $XRP supply is "frozen," remember this key fact: the tokens themselves might be locked, but the power and future control over them is absolutely not.
