The post Ripple Prime cleared $3 trillion. How much of it actually touches XRP? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple’s prime brokerage sits inside the DTCC’s clearing directory, holds a seat in the 50-firm tokenization working group, and clears more than three trillion dollars a year. The XRP community reads that as quadrillions coming to the ledger. The mechanics say something much narrower. Here is the honest accounting of how much of Ripple Prime’s business reaches the token, and what would have to change for that number to grow. Summary Ripple Prime clears more than $3 trillion in annual trades, but only a small portion of that activity currently creates direct demand for XRP. Most institutional settlement within Ripple’s ecosystem now relies on the RLUSD stablecoin, while XRP’s role remains largely limited to fees and internal collateral. Ripple’s position in the DTCC tokenization working group could expand XRP’s future use, but broader adoption depends on third party colla

The post XRP is vanishing from exchanges. Where the supply actually went appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Exchange reserves have fallen to a seven-year low of about 1.6 billion XRP, half what they were at the October 2025 peak. ETFs have absorbed nearly a billion tokens. Ripple still holds roughly 36 billion in escrow. This is the full map of where XRP’s supply actually sits in mid-2026, what moved, what it means, and why a shrinking float has so far failed to move the price. Summary XRP exchange reserves have fallen to a seven year low while spot ETFs have accumulated nearly one billion tokens and long term holders continue moving coins into private wallets. Ripple still controls about 36 billion XRP in escrow, but steady monthly releases and relocks have not stopped exchange balances from shrinking to multi year lows. The report says tighter supply alone has not lifted XRP’s price, with weak market demand continuing to outweigh the effects of a declining tradable float. Something
