One of the major fears about Ripple has been uncertainty about their supply and what if Ripple releases too much of their supply into market, thereby suppressing price. Although, Ripple being a Licensed, Regulated, and Registered company that can be 'Sued' in court for fraud has eliminated much of this worry.
But seems like Ripple wants to be world class in everything among the internal community.
In their internal community, 'Rumors' are dense about Ripple releasing an extensive lock-up agreement spanning a whole decade and more. removing all market worries about supply.
What does this mean ?
1.) Suddenly All worries about supply will be defeated in one official move.
2.) The supply available will only be the current supply.
3.) Overnight will make XRP lot more precious, valuable and most probably will spike up price greatly given so many use-cases and no more new supply in the horizon.
Additionally, as a remainder unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum etc which are "Inflation" currencies that increase their supply over time, Ripple is Deflationary. Meaning, No new coin can ever be mined/created, and Supply reduces over time as every transaction destroys certain amount of XRP.
Its also rumored that Ripple will use their on-platform escrow feature to enforce this lockup and show off to the feature to their customers. (Ripple has on-platform cryptographically secure escrow that does not depend on 'any' external services)
I have given head's up, I think once this is done, There is no stopping XRP's higher evaluation.
Best of luck to everyone,
