Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy and a prominent crypto expert on X, recently gave a compelling reason to accumulate XRP. He believes the finite amount could make those who hold significant amounts a unique class once the asset’s price starts climbing.
The Supply Dynamics
The total supply of XRP is capped at 100 billion tokens, a figure that will never increase. Currently, 39 billion of these tokens are held in escrow by Ripple, and the company controls its release, adding to the circulating supply monthly.
Additionally, Farina notes that a significant portion, estimated at over 50 billion XRP, is allocated to On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) operations. ODL is a Ripple service that leverages XRP to facilitate quick and cost-effective cross-border transactions.
Market Implications
The finite nature of XRP’s supply has profound implications for its market dynamics. The allocation of a majority of XRP to escrow and ODL indicates that only a small portion is available for general trading and investment.
This limited availability can drive demand, especially as XRP’s utility in financial applications becomes more widely recognized.
Given the current distribution and use of XRP, the potential for individual ownership is highly limited. Farina emphasized that only a maximum of 0.13% of the global population could own 3,000 XRP each.
In reality, this percentage is likely even smaller due to the tokens already in circulation and those held by institutions and long-term investors.
This puts anyone with that much XRP in an exclusive class, a fact another crypto expert highlighted when he analyzed the small number of XRP wallets compared to the large global population.

How Can This Benefit Investors?
For investors, XRP’s scarcity presents a significant opportunity. As the limited supply drives up demand, experts believe XRP’s price will rise, and the small number of tokens available for retail investors can speed up this process as more investors try to buy tokens.
Ripple is rapidly accelerating its global partnerships, helping XRP adoption grow. As the digital asset enters new markets, the population of retail investors rises. Once the price begins to rise, XRP could become one of the most sought-after cryptocurrencies in the market.
With everyone running after XRP, holding on to 3,000 tokens as Farina suggests could make an investor wealthy, and holding more as many investors already do would put you in an elite class.
