XRP price closed at $1.29489 on Kraken on October 25, 2026, ahead of a scheduled November 1 event that will make 1 billion XRP in Ripple escrow releasable. An escrow release does not itself mean the tokens will be sold.

Key Takeaways

  • The completed October 25 close was below XRP’s 20-day and 50-day averages.
  • Two Ripple escrow objects containing a combined 1 billion XRP are scheduled to become releasable on November 1.
  • Tracked funds held roughly 1.19 billion XRP as of October 23, at an estimated average acquisition price of $1.7118.

XRP price sits below recent averages

The October 25 Kraken XRPUSD candle closed at $1.29489, down from $1.29783 the previous day. The completed close was 3.98% below the 20-day average of $1.3486 and 7.82% below the 50-day average of $1.4048.

The October 26 candle was still open when it printed $1.29147 at 12:11 UTC, so that figure was not a completed daily close.

Ripple escrow release is scheduled for November 1

Two Ripple escrow objects holding a combined 1 billion XRP are due to become releasable at 00:00 UTC on November 1. As of October 26, the escrow page counted 31.4 billion XRP in 98 objects across eight Ripple accounts.

Over the preceding 12 monthly releases, 12 billion XRP was released and 8.4 billion was locked back into escrow. That history does not establish how much will be re-locked after the November release, or how much might be sold.

Tracked fund holdings remain below estimated cost

Seven reporting funds held approximately 1.19 billion XRP and $1.568 billion in net assets as of October 23. They recorded an outflow of approximately 1.81 million XRP that day, while the five sessions from October 19 through October 23 produced a net inflow of approximately 1.53 million XRP.

XRP Insights estimated the average acquisition price of the tracked holdings, including an index sleeve, at $1.7118. At its October 23 mark of $1.29, the position was about $503 million below estimated cost. The estimate ignores fees, and its treatment of funds launched before December 2025 can understate their launch costs.

Next milestone

The next confirmed milestone is November 1, when the two escrow objects become releasable.
