XRP · monthly escrow keep is the only active flow.
XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger. 100B fixed total supply; ~61.81B circulating, ~38.19B held in on-ledger escrow contracts. Every month on the 1st, 1B gross XRP unlocks from escrow; Ripple typically re-locks 70-80% and keeps ~200-300M for operations + liquidity. Three releases fired inside the last-90D window (Apr 1 + May 1 + Jun 1 2026) — the Jun 1 release specifically fired in three transactions of 500M + 400M + 100M. No buyback. XRPL transaction-fee burn is rounding-error scale.

XRPL has no mint authority. The 100B genesis supply is permanent; no protocol-level emission of new XRP.
No multi-year team or investor vesting outside the escrow contracts. Founder allocations were released or escrowed at TGE in 2012 + restructured into the current escrow programme in 2017.
Monthly escrow programme: 1B XRP gross released on the 1st of every month from Ripple-controlled escrow contracts; Ripple typically re-locks 70-80% and keeps ~200-300M for operations + liquidity. Three releases fired inside the window (Apr 1 + May 1 + Jun 1 2026). The Jun 1 2026 release fired as three transactions of 500M + 400M + 100M. ~38.19B remains in escrow.
No bankruptcy estate. The escrow itself is captured in Row #3; the locked balance is a long-term overhang but follows its own published release schedule.
No protocol-level buyback on XRP. No Ripple-funded accumulation programme on record.
XRPL transaction fees are burned (sent to a zero-balance address). Minimum 10 drops per tx (0.00001 XRP); rises under load. Cumulative burn since 2012 is ~5-15M XRP total — the per-90D burn quantum is rounding-error scale.
Ripple does not run an accumulation programme; the company is a structural net seller via the escrow keep flow in Sell #3.
Monthly re-escrow of the 70-80% re-locked portion is captured implicitly in Sell #3's net figure rather than booked as a separate buy-side row.
