This indicates that the process is being restructured due to technical or strategic reasons. Notable transfers between Ripple wallets were observed before the re-locking, where 200 million XRP were moved from two different wallets to the related address. First, <strong>200 million XRP<\/strong> were transferred from the \u2018rGKHDy\u2019 address, followed by another 200 million XRP from the \u2018rHGfmg\u2019 address.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Ripple_Moving_Away_from_the_Traditional_Escrow_Model\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Is Ripple Moving Away from the Traditional Escrow Model?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since the beginning of this year, <strong>Ripple\u2019s<\/strong> deviation from the traditional escrow release model has been closely followed by the <strong>crypto community<\/strong>.
