XRP Token Burns May Slash Supply 40% by 2035 to Lift Price
XRP token burns are steadily reducing the XRP Ledger’s fixed supply. At roughly 5,000 XRP destroyed daily via transaction fees (1.8 million annually), total supply could fall by up to 40% to around 60 billion by 2035, trimming circulating XRP to 40 billion.
Under stable demand, this scarcity could lift XRP’s price from $2.35 to $4.17. Greater adoption through RippleNet cross-border settlements and institutional integration may boost demand, with a 50% increase lifting price toward $6.25 and a doubling pushing it above $8.
In an accelerated scenario burning 15,000–20,000 XRP daily, prices might climb to $12–$16. However, hitting a true 40% supply cut hinges on major network-growth–driven burn acceleration. Even so, steady XRP token burns and RippleNet adoption underpin a long-term bullish outlook.
Bullish
The announcement of ongoing XRP token burns and potential supply cuts is bullish for XRP prices. In the short term, confirmation of consistent burn rates can boost trader sentiment and reduce circulating supply, tightening the market. Over the long term, if network activity accelerates and RippleNet adoption grows, further burn acceleration and demand could drive scarcity, supporting sustained price rallies. However, actual impact depends on real-world adoption and burn-rate increases.
