$XRP ETFs Lock Nearly 1 Billion Tokens From Circulation
Seven U.S. spot XRP ETFs collectively held 992.5 million XRP as of August 13, according to SoSoValue data cited by TheStreet. The funds had attracted $1.51 billion in cumulative net inflows, with the tokens held through regulated investment products rather than directly on cryptocurrency exchanges.
The amount represents about 1.6% of XRP’s circulating supply, which stood near 62.5 billion tokens. Unlike Ripple’s scheduled escrow activity, the reduction in liquid supply through ETFs is driven by investors holding XRP exposure through fund structures. The latest trading session recorded no additional net ETF inflows, but the existing holdings remained in place.
The development adds another measurable change to XRP’s supply structure as institutional products accumulate tokens. Nearly one billion XRP being held inside ETF vehicles means those assets are no longer readily available on exchange order books, while Ripple’s separate escrow holdings remain subject to its established release and re-locking process.
