400 Million Locked XRP Face a Quiet October Deadline — Here's What That Means for the Token's Future
3h ago · 1 source
Over 400 million XRP tokens are approaching an October deadline tied to the Evernorth SPAC deal, raising questions about what happens when those tokens potentially unlock. Meanwhile, the Evernorth SPAC has received a modest $135,000 lifeline to keep operations going as the deadline approaches.
WHY IT MATTERS
Imagine you have a savings account that's locked until a specific date — you can't touch the money until then. That's essentially what a token lockup is: a large amount of cryptocurrency that can't be sold or moved until a deadline passes. When 400 million XRP tokens potentially become 'unlocked,' it's like a dam opening — all that supply could flood the market at once. If lots of people try to sell at the same time, it can push the price down, at least temporarily. A SPAC is like a blank-check company that raises money with the goal of buying or merging with another business. The fact that this SPAC needed a small $135,000 cash injection to stay alive suggests things aren't going smoothly, which adds uncertainty to what happens with those locked XRP tokens.
