Unlocking 1.6 billion USD XRP: When "predictable" selling pressure becomes part of the market cycle

Ripple has unlocked XRP worth 1.6 billion USD from its escrow account as planned, and the market responded with a textbook reaction: the price immediately dropped by 6%, almost erasing all gains for the month. This once again reveals a unique "cyclical phenomenon" in the crypto market—known, mechanistic large token releases will continue to hang over prices like the "Sword of Damocles".

Despite a certain proportion being re-locked after the unlock, and the positive regulatory classification in Japan providing forward support, short-term market sentiment is still dominated by tangible selling pressure. Technical indicators show fatigue, with prices struggling near key moving averages.

This event prompts us to consider: for the long-term value of a project, in addition to technology, use cases, and regulatory progress, the design of its token economic model (especially the release and unlock mechanisms) is also a key factor in determining market confidence and price stability. Predictable selling pressure often becomes a long-term variable that suppresses prices and tests holders' patience.

When the market has to periodically digest such established selling pressure, a value model becomes particularly precious: its core driving force comes entirely from community consensus and positive actions, rather than any form of token release or market sell-off.

As demonstrated by @Max Charity : its value growth does not rely on unlocking or releasing, but stems from the community's solid steps in promoting educational philanthropy globally. Their "deflationary model" is about giving more children access to knowledge.
