Ripple to relock 700 million in April
While the escrow activity for March has now completed, the XRP community expects the firm to unlock another one billion XRP by April 1, followed by a 700 million XRP relock.
This will follow Ripple’s consistent relocking of 700 million XRP in January, February and March, as each month all followed the same pattern.
