Just 3 hours ago, Ripple shared its report for the first quarter of 2025. And guess what? The company said it holds about $99 billion worth of $XRP ! Also, the number of $XRP tokens in their special escrow accounts has gone down.
Ripple is a big blockchain company based in San Francisco. In this new report, they said that as of March 31, they had 4.56 billion XRP tokens under their direct control. That’s a small increase—about 1.7% more than they had last quarter.
At the same time, the XRP in their escrow accounts dropped. These are special accounts where tokens stay locked until certain rules are met. The amount went from 38 billion to 37 billion, which is a 2.3% drop. Ripple normally takes 1 billion XRP out of these accounts every month. But here’s the catch—they don’t just spend it. They often put a big part of it back into these accounts to keep the $XRP supply under control.
Right now, each XRP token is worth $2.10. So if you do the math, the value of all the XRP that Ripple directly owns comes out to around $98.6 billion.
One last thing—the report also shared that Ripple bought a company called Hidden Road, which is a brokerage firm. That might mean even bigger plans ahead.
