Whale Alert reported two transactions of 400,000,000 XRP worth $625,176,721 and 300,000,000 XRP worth $470,793,741 locked in escrow at Ripple.

In December 2017, Ripple placed 55 billion XRP (55% of the total supply) into escrow, releasing one billion XRP monthly over 55 months, with unused funds relocked.
