XRP — how much XRP moves to market in the next 90 days?

Ripple's monthly escrow release is the load-bearing row. 1B XRP gross out per month, most re-locked, NET ~33.9M XRP hits market per month at the current pace. Against a tiny fee burn.

Setup

XRP was created with a fixed 100B genesis cap in 2012 — no mint function exists on the XRPL. Supply is monotonically decreasingbecause every transaction burns a tiny fee. So protocol inflation is zero forever; all structural sell comes from Ripple's escrow releases. Read directly from Ripple's own transparency page (snapshot April 30, 2026):

  • Total XRP held by Ripple: 38.16B (treasury + escrow)
  • In escrow: 33.2B XRP locked in monthly-release contracts (~42 months remaining)
  • Liquid Ripple treasury: ~4.96B (38.16 − 33.20)
  • Total distributed: 61.81B XRP (currently held by non-Ripple wallets)
  • Cumulative XRPL burn since 2012: ~14.3M XRP (~1.02M/year average — protocol fee burn)

The framework asks one structural question for any coin:

Net 90d % = (sell total − buy total) / circulating × 100

XRPL has no mint function. The 100B genesis cap is immutable. Supply only goes down via the fee burn (Buy #2 side).

No team or investor vesting cliffs in the traditional sense. The escrow release schedule is the de-facto distribution mechanism, but its NET pace is discretionary — counted under #3 rather than split here.

SOURCE #3Foundation + unscheduled unlocks
Last 90 days
~750M XRP
Mechanism (origin from xrpl.org + Ripple): 1B XRP/month GROSS auto-releases from escrow contracts (rule-based at the ledger). Ripple re-locks the unused portion into a new contract at the back of the queue (discretionary). The NET amount that hits market = gross − relock. Observed pace from Ripple Apr 30 → monitor May 26 (26 days, +29.4M XRP): ~33.9M/month NET → ~750M over 90 days.
Next 90 days
~750M XRP
Project same pace. 42 months of escrow contracts remain. Material upside if Ripple stops re-locking (would push to 1B/month gross); material downside if Ripple announces a re-lock policy change.
§0.45.3.4 enumeration — two team-controlled overhangs:(1) Ripple escrow ~33.2B XRP across monthly-release contracts (42 months remaining at the GROSS 1B/mo cadence); the NET ~33.9M/mo above is captured in this row. (2) Ripple liquid treasury ~4.96B XRP(38.16B held minus 33.20B in escrow). The escrow leg is `updated · API`; the liquid-treasury leg is `checked` — monitored for any disclosed sale beyond the escrow programme.
SOURCE #4Long-term locked or bankruptcy

No XRP bankruptcy estate. The XRPL account reserve (1 XRP base + 0.2 XRP/object) is an operational lockup that frees up on account deletion — not a long-term lock that releases on a schedule.

SOURCE #2XRPL transaction-fee burn
Last 90 days
~0.25M XRP
Every XRPL transaction destroys a small XRP fee. Per xrpl.org docs: "a miniscule amount of XRP destroyed" "not paid to anyone". Cumulative since 2012: ~14.3M XRP burned ≈ ~1M/year. Over a 90d window at current chain activity that's ~0.25M XRP — real, predictable, but trivial vs the 750M sell.
Next 90 days
~0.25M XRP
Same rate. Material upside only if chain activity multiplies (e.g. CBDC pilots or stablecoin issuance on XRPL drive tx volume sharply higher).
Is this rule-based? Yes — protocol-level burn on every transaction. Tag: fixed. Magnitude scales with chain activity but the mechanism is locked in code.

Net result

Plug the totals back into the formula:

Last 90 days = (750M − 0.25M) / 61810M × 100 = +1.21% to market
Next 90 days = (750M − 0.25M) / 61810M × 100 = +1.21% to market

The structural read for XRP is Ripple net escrow release vs. negligible fee burn. The mechanism is well-defined: 1B/month gross release, Ripple re-locks the unused portion, NET hits market. At observed pace (~33.9M/month), about +1.21% of supply hits market per 90d window. The next 90 days project to the same because every input is constant.

The single mechanism that would CHANGE this read is a Ripple policy announcement on re-lock pace. A move toward 100% re-lock takes the sell row to ~0 (positive structural surprise). A move toward 0% re-lock pushes it to ~3B / 90d (~5% of supply per quarter — very unfavorable). The current behaviour is on the conservative end of that range, reflecting Ripple's post-SEC-settlement stance.

Data note.Ripple holdings, escrow balance, distributed total origin-first from Ripple's own quarterly transparency dashboard (Apr 30, 2026 snapshot). Fee-burn mechanism from the XRPL official docs. Net pace anchored to the Ripple Apr 30 figure plus the monitor- observed 26-day delta (+29.4M XRP → ~33.9M/month).
