đš $XRP Supply Crunch Incoming?* Scarcity May Be Way Worse Than You Think! đ„
The XRP market could be on the verge of a serious supply squeeze â and hardly anyone's talking about it. A huge chunk of XRP is either locked, held long-term, or controlled by insiders, leaving very little actually available for open market trading.
Letâs break it down:
đ *Escrow Holdings:* Ripple still has about *35.3B XRP* locked in escrow â thatâs over a third of total supply.
đšâđŒ *Founders & Insiders:* Co-founders like Chris Larsen, Arthur Britto, and Ripple itself hold *another ~7.1B XRP*.
đĄ *Retail vs Institutions:* Regular investors control just *~15% of the total XRP supply*. Once big players like ETFs or banks (think JPMorgan) start entering â things could escalate fast.
đ *Other Locks:* Projects like mXRP (Axelar) and FXRP (Flare) are also soaking up supply â potentially another *13%* locked away. Add in shrinking exchange reserves, and itâs getting tight.
