"Scarcity in Motion: Can XRP Burn Its Way to $10?"
XRP has burned over $30 million worth so far—but not all at once.
It’s the result of routine transaction fees accumulating over time.
This burn is incremental, protocol-driven, and ongoing, not a one-time event or supply purge.
🔥 XRP BURN MECHANISM — CONSOLIDATED INSIGHT
🔹 1. How XRP Is Burned
Every XRP transaction includes a minimum network fee of 0.00001 XRP (10 drops).
This fee is permanently destroyed (burned), reducing total supply.
The mechanism prevents spam and ensures transaction priority.
🔹 2. Daily Burn Rate
Average Daily Burn: ~3,000–5,000 XRP
Annual Burn Estimate:
> 3,000 XRP/day × 365 = ~1.1 million XRP/year
> 5,000 XRP/day × 365 = ~1.8 million XRP/year
Cumulative Burn (as of mid-2025): 13.9 million XRP
➤ At current price ($2.16), this equals over $30 million USD permanently removed from circulation.
