Is XRP Really Disappearing?

XRP might be scarcer than we ever imagined. What started as a wild tweet turned into a late-night rabbit hole that revealed a shocking reality—massive portions of XRP are locked away in escrow, with founders, early whales, and even institutions quietly holding tight. Add in dwindling exchange reserves and new DeFi protocols that purposely lock up tokens, and the available supply for regular investors may be far smaller than most realize. Through numbers, analogies, and community insights, this story uncovers how XRP’s circulating supply could already be shrinking at a dramatic pace. If ETFs and major banks move in while retail only controls a sliver, the stage may be set for explosive shifts driven by simple supply and demand.
