Ripple's Q2 report outlines future XRP selling plans
Ripple's 2019 Q2 report released yesterday had two notable points that would have been unexpected by most, but very much welcomed. Sales of the XRP token were up from $169.42m in Q1 to $251.51m in Q2. There has been much discussion around Ripple's release of 1bn XRP from escrow each month to sell directly and avoid exchanges. This has been earmarked as an explanation behind why the price has been relatively stagnant over the past few months. Investors have become frustrated in recent times after waves of positive fundamental announcements have had practically no effect on the price.
A comment in the latest quarterly report states that "Ripple sold $251.51 million XRP in Q2 2019 and is substantially reducing future sales of XRP'. This may well point to institutions now having to purchase XRP via exchanges and not directly from Ripple as previously. Should this be the case, then it is fair to presume that we may start to see XRP's price react accordingly.
The report went on to define what this statement was aiming to achieve:
"Going forward, Ripple plans to focus institutional sales on markets where the on-exchange liquidity for XRP is insufficient to meet institutional demand."
Additional encouraging comments in the report came from in the form of regulatory updates:
- The SEC announced that it would establish nodes on certain open-source, permissionless ledgers, such as the XRP Ledger, to help inform its policymaking.
- The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority analogised XRP to ETH, which it recognised was a hybrid utility/exchange token, not a security token.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
