The FinTech company structured its escrow release program to make 1 billion XRP available from escrow monthly. Ripple started the escrow release program in 2017, designing it to maintain a predictable supply pattern.Related: XRP Escrow Under Fire: Lawyer Debunks “Price Dump” TheoryIt is worth noting that Ripple uses the released escrow XRP tokens to facilitate institutional sales and operational expenses, among other implied use cases. However, despite the designed program, Ripple applies flexibility when executing the token release program. Based on prevailing market conditions, the firm might reduce the number of released tokens or return some XRP to escrow. This answers how SBI Holdings values its near 10% equity stake in Ripple by showing the underlying asset’s managed supply.For instance, Ripple returned 700 million XRP to escrow last March without releasing the expected 1 billion tokens. According to reports, the FinTech firm created the escrow with 700 million tokens from its company XRP account. An account separate from the original batch of tokens held in escrow.Market Perspectives on Ripple’s Escrowed XRP and Valuation ImpactThe valuation policy of institutional investors in pre-IPO crypto firms like Ripple is often conservative. Most crypto analysts think the volume of XRP Ripple held in escrow is significantly high and amounts to a massive profit for the company if included in the overall XRP valuation. Critics, however, believe such a large holding could negatively impact XRP’s value by potentially increasing the supply if not carefully managed.Related: Ripple’s XRP Escrow Explained: Dispelling Myths and FearsHowever, supporters think differently, with most of them relying on Ripple’s transparent token release approach to diffuse potential uncertainties the XRP escrow could cause in the market, which is crucial for SBI awaiting Ripple IPO for clear valuation of its Ripple investment.Disclaimer: The information presented in this article is for informational and educational purposes only.
