@jakeclaverqfop: JPMORGAN WALKED INTO RIPPLE'S OFFICE AND TRIED TO BUY THE ENTIRE ESCROW. 2017. They wanted to control the supply. Ripple said no, and that's why the programmatic monthly release exists today. If the XRP sits in escrow, the banks can't touch it. It's a move most people in this space have never heard. Save this for the next person who tells you Ripple is captured by the banks.
