Ripple is all set for its biggest monthly XRP dump since 2017, keeping its treasury accounts ready. For its June token sale, the business has set aside 400 million XRP tokens, or $208 million. According to the latest report by Finbold, Ripple could be preparing for a much larger dumb this month, than its usual 200 million tokens.

The company driving the development of the XRP Ledger, Ripple, is the largest XRP holder. Each month, it sells a portion of its reserves to increase the amount in circulation. On June 1, as per customary, it unlocked $1 billion in XRP, or $520 million. This occurred via the XRP Ledger escrow system from the "Ripple(24)" and "Ripple(25)" branded accounts.

The bulls may get a run at the 200-day EMA if XRP moves through the 50-day EMA. A move towards the $0.5739 resistance level might be indicated by a break above the 200-day EMA.

The SEC made arguments in March for an injunction that would forbid the selling of XRP to institutional investors and for a penalty of over $2 billion.

Judge Analisa Torres rejected an SEC motion for an interlocutory appeal back in October 2023. To move the Ripple case along more quickly, the court decision compelled the SEC to withdraw the accusations against CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen.
