Frequently asked questions
How many XRP are there?
XRP has a fixed maximum supply of 100 billion, all created at the 2012 genesis. No new XRP is ever minted (it is not mined or staked), and a small amount is burned with every transaction, so total supply only shrinks over time — currently ~99.99B after 14.4M burned.
What is the circulating supply of XRP?
About 67.55B XRP is circulating as of 2026-07-24 — that is total supply minus the ~32.44B locked in Ripple's escrow and the burned amount.
Where does all the XRP live?
Of the 100 billion: ~32.44B in Ripple escrow, ~15.66B on exchanges, ~9.34B held by Ripple (operational) and the founders, ~977.4M in ETFs, ~473.3M in corporate treasuries, ~369.0M in DeFi, and the remainder (~40.73B) in general wallets and cold storage.
Is XRP inflationary?
No. Supply is capped at 100 billion and is mildly deflationary: every transaction burns a tiny amount of XRP, permanently reducing supply. Escrow releases move XRP from locked to potentially-circulating but never create new tokens.
