Current XRP Supply Overview

The total XRP supply is fixed at 100 billion tokens. About 59.24 billion are circulating, giving a market cap near ¥28.6 trillion. Roughly 10 million XRP have been permanently burned. Ripple’s non‑circulating holdings total around 4.85 billion, valued at ¥13.4 trillion. Approximately 35.9 billion XRP remain locked in escrow.

Escrow Mechanism and Its Significance

Escrow tokens are locked until Ripple meets time‑based or conditional releases, preventing arbitrary sales. Near 40 % of all XRP is held in escrow, limiting Ripple’s ability to sell freely. Monthly releases gradually reduce the escrow balance, tightening the circulating supply. This supply control aims to protect market stability. The locked tokens act as a buffer against sudden liquidity shocks.

Market Implications and Investor Outlook

A smaller tradable float amplifies price volatility when demand spikes. Reduced liquidity can boost scarcity value for long‑term holders and enterprise users. Analysts note that the shrinking float may create bullish pressure as escrow releases continue. Investors are advised to monitor escrow dynamics as a key factor in XRP’s price discovery. The updated SBI Holdings data provides the most accurate snapshot of these trends.
