- Ripple’s escrow now holds 35.6B XRP, with 64.3B in circulation and over 14M burned through network fees since launch.
- The XRP Ledger shows nearly seven million active accounts, reflecting steady network growth alongside stable supply controls.
- Monthly escrow releases remain capped at 1B XRP, with unused tokens returned for future distribution to maintain market stability.
Ripple’s latest escrow data shows 35,608,401,338 XRP tokens locked, according to XRPScan. This mechanism was introduced in 2017 to manage market supply and increase transparency. The system limits releases to a maximum of one billion XRP each month.
The XRP Ledger reports a total supply of 99,985,835,620 XRP, with 64,363,269,902 currently in circulation. Since the network’s launch, 14,164,380 XRP have been burned through transaction fees. These burns are a built-in feature to prevent spam and improve ledger efficiency.
Escrow Return Policy Maintains Predictability
Unsold XRP from monthly releases is sent back into escrow. This process supports a predictable supply pattern and helps manage long-term distribution. The approach was outlined by Ripple’s leadership in 2017 as a means to build trust in market operations.
Ripple initially transferred 55 billion of its 80 billion XRP holdings into escrow eight years ago. This move followed concerns from market participants about the potential for oversupply. The decision has since provided a transparent framework for token availability.
Network Activity Approaches Seven Million Accounts
XRP active accounts now total 6,837,166, marking a steady increase in user participation. The ledger count has reached 98,108,655, indicating consistent transaction activity. This growth aligns with XRP’s role as both a settlement asset and a liquidity tool.
The escrow structure ensures that no more than 12 billion XRP can be released in a single year. This policy remains in place regardless of market conditions. Ripple’s consistent monthly approach has reinforced supply predictability while allowing for gradual distribution over time.
