Alert: 792,000,000 XRP Now Locked By Institutions – XRP Supply Shock Ahead?

  • 792 million XRP locked as ETF inflows accelerate
  • Institutional custody crosses $1 billion in net assets
  • Race toward one billion XRP vault milestone intensifies

Fresh on-chain data has revealed that 792,000,000 XRP are now locked inside institutional ETF vaults, drawing attention across trading desks and crypto research circles. Consequently, analysts are assessing whether continued institutional accumulation could reshape available supply dynamics.


According to analyst ChartNerd on X, more than 544 million XRP from that total are held by three major ETF issuers. He highlighted Canary Capital, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton as the dominant custodians. With this rising accumulation, the race toward one billion XRP locked in ETF vaults is accelerating, adding urgency to discussions about potential XRP supply constraints.

Over $1 Billion Flows Into XRP ETFs

Data from ETF market dashboards reinforces the accumulation narrative, with cumulative net inflows into XRP ETFs reaching $1.24 billion as of February 26. Meanwhile, total net assets now stand at $1.02 billion, representing 1.19% of XRP’s overall market capitalization. Additionally, daily net inflows recently recorded $1.22 million despite price declines.


Canary Capital currently holds 191.4 million XRP in custody, while Bitwise follows with 188.4 million XRP. Franklin Templeton controls 165.6 million XRP, bringing the combined total of these three issuers to more than 545 million XRP locked within regulated investment vehicles. Their holdings form the backbone of the institutional accumulation trend.

Trading volumes also remain notable, as total value traded across XRP ETFs reached $11.98 million in the latest session. However, share prices declined between 4% and 5% during the same period, yet inflows continued, signaling ongoing capital allocation during market weakness.


Institutional custody changes how supply functions in the open market, because when ETFs receive inflows, they must acquire and hold XRP in vaults. Consequently, those tokens leave active exchange circulation, and over time, sustained inflows can reduce the liquid supply. That reduction can amplify price reactions when demand increases.


Institutional Holdings Tighten Circulating XRP Availability

Net asset figures illustrate the scale of concentration, with Canary Capital reporting $269.05 million in net assets. Bitwise follows closely with $266.66 million, while Franklin Templeton holds $232.97 million. Together, these totals confirm that institutional vehicles now control a measurable share of XRP’s valuation.


This concentration raises the possibility of a tighter circulating supply if inflows persist. Although price action remains volatile, structural ownership patterns continue to evolve. With 792,000,000 XRP locked by institutions and ETF assets surpassing $1 billion, XRP’s supply dynamics are shifting. Continued inflows could intensify that trend and increase focus on potential supply compression in the months ahead.
