XRP’s supply is shrinking as people store coins off exchanges, causing supply shocks soon.
Meanwhile, every XRP transfer burns a 0.00001, steadily reducing total supply across the market.
XRP ETF approval likely by 2025, meaning banks will rush to grab more XRP, adding more scarcity of XRP.
XRP, the 4th largest cryptocurrency by market cap, once touched $3.38 and is now holding steady at $2.50. Some people are worried, while others think it’s just a pause. But what if I told you this might be your last chance to grab some XRP before it becomes hard to find?
What’s going on? Let’s dig in and see why XRP might vanish from your favorite exchanges soon.
XRP’s Supply Shock is Coming
Aduino Fina, a well-known analyst from Alpha Lions Academy, thinks XRP is heading for a big supply shock. This means XRP might soon be so hard to find that even huge investors can’t get their hands on it.
How’s that possible? Well, every time you send XRP, a tiny amount, just 0.00001 XRP, is burned and gone forever.
Data from CryptoQuant shows that Binance’s stash of XRP fell from 2.94 billion coins at the start of the year to around 2.86 billion today. That’s 82 million XRP gone in just a few months.
It doesn’t sound like much, but over time, these little burns add up and shrink the total supply.
More XRP Leaving Exchanges Every Day
And it’s not just these small burns making XRP scarce. More people are taking their XRP off exchanges to store it safely in private wallets. Since January, Binance has lost 183 million XRP to these quiet withdrawals.
Back in January, when XRP soared to a seven-year high of $3.30, Binance’s hot wallet ballooned over 3 billion coins as everyone rushed to sell.
But soon after, the hype faded, and these coins started leaving exchanges, moving to cold wallets and secure storage instead.
XRP ETF On The Horizon
Adding to this, there’s a 90% chance that an XRP ETF will be approved by the end of 2025. If that happens, banks and big money managers will rush to grab as much XRP as they can.
