- Ripple’s XRP control lower than assumed, new data reveals limits.
- Nearly 40% of XRP remains locked under escrow restrictions.
- Infographic shows only portion of XRP is freely circulating today.
A recently updated infographic has stirred fresh debate across the XRP community by exposing the precise breakdown of the token’s supply and Ripple’s actual holdings. The detailed visualization, widely circulated and credited to SBI Holdings, highlights key figures that reshape common perceptions about Ripple’s control over the asset.
According to the report, XRP’s total supply remains capped at 100 billion tokens. Out of the latter, about 59.24 billion XRP is being traded actively in the marketplace. This unsecured segment is easily exchangeable between several systems and markets with an approximate market value of 28.6 trillion yen, as of July 28 market data.

What has become a focal point, though, is the amount of XRP that Ripple retains in its possession. By March 2025, Ripple had assets of approximately 13.4 trillion yen that were not being circulated.
It rose to a much higher amount by 20.07.2025, with the estimated amount of such holdings going to 19.7 trillion yen. This is not an increase in new accumulation but rather an adjustment of valuation in the light of new market prices.
To make the findings even stronger, the infographic reports that 35.9 billion XRP are still under escrow. These tokens cannot be sold or transferred by Ripple before certain time-based conditions can be fulfilled according to the current state of the ledger rules.
This locked supply constitutes close to 40 percent of the entire supply of XRP, and this has the effect of limiting the market activity of a significant portion of it.

Escrow Locks and Deflationary Burn Limit Ripple’s Reach
Besides the large volume held in escrow, the XRP Ledger shows that nearly 10 million XRP have been permanently burned through transaction fees. This is a gradual mechanism to decrease the overall supply and is implemented to curb inflation in the long run.
The data demonstrates that Ripple’s power over daily market actions is not as direct as it is likely to be assumed. Most of its assets are either locked or non-circulating, and, in general, Ripple has little leeway in disposing of large amounts without causing any shock in the market.
Besides, the released management of control coded into the escrow system acts to provide an orderly and predictable supply of XRP into the market. This framework is essential in avoiding supply shock and helps ensure the long-term stability of the market.
The revised infographic, commended by the community analyst WrathofKahneman, contains one of the most comprehensive accounts of XRP in its current state of supply so far. It reaffirms that while Ripple holds a significant share of tokens, much of it is out of reach due to escrow locks and structured release protocols.
