XRP Supply Shock Incoming? Why It Might Vanish From Exchanges Soon

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.

With less XRP left on exchanges and more people wanting it, prices could shoot up fast. That’s why many believe this could be the last chance to grab XRP before it gets harder to find and much more expensive.

What Should You do?

Crypto expert Cheeky Crypto says only invest what you can afford to lose, and remember big moves take time. Right now, people are moving XRP off exchanges, but supply shocks and ETF approvals don’t happen overnight. They take time to play out.

If Ripple signs new deals with banks in Asia and the Middle East could also help XRP’s price and usage.

Currently, XRP is around $2.14, down 9% in a week, with a market cap of $125 billion. This might be a good time to buy more XRP while prices are low.
