While most of the crypto market has been rallying, $XRP continues to struggle — and the reason is more straightforward than many realize. Ripple still holds roughly 40 billion $XRP tokens in escrow, which are released into circulation gradually. This unlock process is expected to continue for another 6 to 10 years, steadily adding to the supply.
Basic economics tells us that when supply keeps increasing without equally strong demand, prices face downward pressure. Despite this, Ripple Labs spends heavily on marketing and partnerships to keep the community engaged and optimistic. Many investors hold on to dreams of $XRP reaching $10 or more in the near future, but those expectations ignore the impact of ongoing token releases.
The reality is that as long as such a large amount of XRP remains to be unlocked, significant price growth will be difficult to sustain. That doesn’t mean $XRP can’t see short-term spikes during broader market rallies, but betting on life-changing returns this year is risky.
Smart investing requires separating hype from facts. Don’t rely on dreams pushed by marketing campaigns — look at the tokenomics, market trends, and supply dynamics before deciding where to put your money.
