XRP has a fixed supply of 100 billion tokens. But where do they all live? Understanding supply distribution is crucial for any serious investor. That's why we built XRP Radar—a free tool that tracks where every XRP is allocated, from ETF vaults to DeFi protocols.
What is XRP Radar? XRP Radar is a free tool that tracks where all 100 billion XRP lives. It monitors ETF holdings, corporate treasuries, DeFi protocols, RWA tokenization, Ripple escrow, and exchange balances. Data updates daily from verified sources.

What Is XRP Radar?
XRP Radar is a supply tracking dashboard that answers one simple question: Where is all the XRP?
Unlike price charts that show what XRP is worth, XRP Radar shows where XRP is held. It tracks the major categories of XRP allocation:
- ETFs & Index Funds: XRP held by spot ETFs like Bitwise, Canary, and Grayscale
- Corporate Treasuries: Companies holding XRP on their balance sheets
- DeFi Protocols: XRP locked in AMM pools, lending, and bridges
- RWA Tokenization: Real-world assets tokenized on XRPL
- Ripple Escrow: XRP in cryptographic escrow with scheduled releases
- Exchange Holdings: XRP held on major exchanges
- Circulating Supply: XRP held in individual wallets
Why Track XRP Supply?
Supply distribution matters more than most investors realize. Here's why:
Supply Squeeze Effect
When XRP moves from exchanges into ETFs, DeFi protocols, or corporate treasuries, it becomes less available for trading. This reduced "float" can amplify price movements—both up and down.
Institutional Adoption Signals
Growing ETF holdings and corporate treasury positions indicate institutional confidence. XRP Radar lets you track this adoption in real-time rather than waiting for quarterly reports.
Ecosystem Health
Active DeFi protocols, growing RWA tokenization, and healthy exchange balances indicate a vibrant ecosystem. Declining metrics might signal problems worth investigating.
Escrow Transparency
Ripple's escrow releases are often misunderstood. XRP Radar tracks the actual escrow balance and monthly release schedule, cutting through FUD with facts.
Why does XRP supply distribution matter? Supply distribution affects price dynamics. XRP locked in ETFs, DeFi, and treasuries is removed from trading circulation. Tracking these flows helps investors understand market conditions and institutional adoption trends.
Supply Categories Explained
Let's break down each category tracked by XRP Radar:
ETFs & Index Funds
XRP ETFs hold actual XRP to back their shares. When you buy ETF shares, the issuer buys XRP. As of January 2026, ETFs hold over 700 million XRP—more than many realize.
- Data source: Daily ETF filings and holdings reports
- Update frequency: End of each trading day
- What it means: Growing ETF holdings = institutional accumulation
Corporate Treasuries
Corporate treasury holdings represent companies that have added XRP to their balance sheets. This includes both crypto-native companies and traditional businesses exploring digital assets.
- Data source: Public filings, announcements, verified reports
- Update frequency: As new data becomes available
- What it means: Companies betting on XRP long-term
DeFi Protocols
DeFi on XRPL locks XRP in various ways: AMM liquidity pools, lending collateral, and bridge reserves. This XRP is actively used in the ecosystem rather than sitting idle.
- Data source: On-chain data, protocol APIs
- Update frequency: Daily
- What it means: Growing DeFi = more XRP utility and locked supply
RWA Tokenization
Real-world assets tokenized on XRPL create infrastructure demand for XRP (reserves, fees). While measured primarily in USD value, RWA growth signals institutional use of XRPL.
- Data source: Issuer reports, on-chain verification
- Update frequency: Weekly
- What it means: Traditional finance adopting XRPL
Ripple Escrow
Approximately 34 billion XRP remains in Ripple's cryptographic escrow. Up to 1 billion XRP is released monthly, but unused portions return to escrow. This predictable schedule has been active since 2017.
- Data source: XRPL on-chain escrow data
- Update frequency: Real-time (monthly releases tracked)
- What it means: Transparent, predictable supply release
Exchange Holdings
XRP held on exchanges represents the most liquid supply—easily bought or sold. Declining exchange balances often indicate accumulation (users moving to self-custody or staking).
- Data source: Exchange transparency reports, on-chain analysis
- Update frequency: Daily estimates
- What it means: Lower exchange balances = potential supply squeeze

Data Sources & Methodology
Transparency matters. Here's where XRP Radar data comes from:
Primary Sources
- ETF Holdings: Official issuer filings (Bitwise, Canary, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, REX-Osprey)
- Escrow Data: XRPL on-chain escrow accounts (verifiable by anyone)
- DeFi TVL: Protocol APIs and on-chain XRPL data
- RWA: Issuer announcements and regulatory filings
- Exchange Holdings: Exchange transparency reports and analytics providers
Update Frequency
| Category | Update Frequency |
|---|---|
| ETF Holdings | Daily (after market close) |
| DeFi TVL | Daily |
| Escrow | Real-time (monthly releases) |
| RWA | Weekly |
| Exchange Holdings | Daily estimates |
| XRP Price | Every 60 seconds |
Methodology Notes
Some categories require estimation. Exchange holdings, for example, combine reported data with on-chain analysis. We err on the side of conservative estimates and clearly label any approximations.
Understanding Supply Dynamics
XRP Radar helps you understand the bigger picture of XRP supply:
The 100 Billion Cap
XRP has a fixed maximum supply of 100 billion tokens. Unlike Bitcoin (which is mined over time) or inflationary tokens, all XRP was created at genesis. The question isn't "how many will exist" but "where are they now?"
Burning Mechanism
Every XRP transaction burns a tiny amount (~0.00001 XRP). Over billions of transactions, this adds up. XRP Radar tracks the total burned supply, though the impact on the 100B total is minimal.
Flow Direction
Watch how XRP moves between categories over time:
- Exchanges to ETFs: Institutional accumulation
- Exchanges to Self-Custody: Retail accumulation
- Escrow Releases: New supply entering circulation
- Into DeFi: Ecosystem utility growth
How does XRP supply affect price? XRP has a fixed 100B supply. When more XRP is locked in ETFs, DeFi, and treasuries, less is available for trading (reduced float). This can amplify price movements. XRP Radar tracks these supply dynamics in real-time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is XRP Radar free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no subscription, no hidden fees. Just visit xrp-insights.com/xrp-radar.
How accurate is the data?
We use official sources whenever possible (ETF filings, on-chain data). Some categories like exchange holdings require estimation. We document our methodology and err on the side of conservative estimates.
Can I export the data?
Currently, XRP Radar is view-only. We're considering adding export features based on user feedback.
How is this different from other trackers?
Most XRP trackers focus on price. XRP Radar focuses on supply distribution—where the XRP actually is. This provides insights you can't get from price charts alone.
Does XRP Radar track wallets?
We track categories, not individual wallets. We don't identify or track personal holdings. The focus is on aggregate institutional and ecosystem data.
Start Tracking
Understanding XRP supply distribution gives you an edge. While others watch price charts, you'll know where the XRP is moving and why it matters.
