XRP Supply Shock Looms as Institutional Demand Outpaces Available Tokens

Crypto investor Coach Chad (@Blockchain3alvw) has shared critical advice for XRP holders, warning them that the supply of XRP is much lower than they think. In a video attached to his post, a speaker explains that only 50% of the total XRP supply is locked in escrow by Ripple, leaving less than half available in circulation.

The speaker notes that long-term investors are 'very stingy about selling their XRP,' further reducing the liquid supply. Institutional players also hold onto their XRP for extended periods, pulling more supply off the market. This could lead to a supply shock, with demand pushing prices up sharply as the market recognizes the scarcity of XRP.

Coach Chad agrees that a significant portion of XRP is already locked in long-term institutional and ecosystem use. As global adoption grows, available tokens become increasingly valuable, driving up their worth. He advises XRP holders to keep their tokens locked rather than selling them.
