On-chain data recently showed that Ripple carried out its monthly escrow unlock for May. As expected, this has raised concerns about how it could affect the XRP price, especially since Ripple has been accused of manipulating the token’s price.  Ripple Unlocks 500 Million XRP Tokens Onchain data revealed 500 million XRP tokens were unlocked from Ripple’s escrow on May 1.
