The price of XRP">XRP has continued climbing higher this month even as Ripple Labs released another scheduled batch of 1 billion tokens. This highlights robust demand offsetting the monthly supply injections.
Ripple has systematically increased XRP’s circulating supply since 2017 via scheduled releases from escrow. There are no supply cut “halvings” like Bitcoin.
Instead, Ripple plans to fully release the 100 billion XRP total supply by 2027 through gradual monthly issuances. It re-locks portions to prevent shocks.
Remarkably, XRP keeps rallying amid the inflationary releases. Ripple’s business traction and legal wins are likely driving demand.
Unlike protocols burning tokens, Ripple relies on usage growth to counteract emission. So far, the strategy is working, but execution risks remain if demand falters.
For now, XRP’s price resilience indicates faith in Ripple’s long-term plan and commercial progress despite regulatory battles.
