Blockchain and digital asset researcher Ripples recently shared insights from Grok regarding XRP’s supply and demand dynamics in the context of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to the analysis, approximately 56 billion XRP is classified as liquid, with only about 9–11 percent actively circulating and available for purchase. Grok’s observations focus on how ETF acquisitions could absorb this portion of XRP and what the resulting supply changes might imply for the market. Estimated Timelines for ETF Absorption Grok’s projections outline three potential scenarios. At the current purchase rate, ETFs could absorb 9–11 percent of liquid XRP within roughly 17 months. A more aggressive accumulation rate would shorten the timeline to about 14 months, while a highly aggressive purchase pattern could accomplish the same in just eight months. These scenarios reflect the current pace of ETF purchases and provide a framework for understanding how quickly liquid supply might be reduced. Groks thoughts on $XRP supply vs demand with XRP ETF's So to summarise; There is roughly 9-11% of available 56 B liquid XRP circling in the wild. How long would it take for $XRP ETFs to absorb this? {Note ; I do not believe this take's into account the remaining 16 {?}… https://t.co/tPB9yJAk3X — Ripples (@Ripplesinwales) November 28, 2025 Additional Demand Factors Ripples emphasizes that these projections do not fully account for the potential launch of up to 16 additional ETF providers . If these providers enter the market, institutional demand could rise significantly beyond the modeled scenarios. Grok also points to decentralized finance and other emerging demand vectors as contributing factors that could accelerate the absorption of liquid XRP. While unexpected market developments may influence outcomes, the combined data suggest that a substantial portion of the circulating supply could be removed within the next year.

Grok and Ripples note that while the exact market impact is uncertain, the potential for a notable contraction in available supply is clear. The research raises the question of how these supply constraints might influence XRP’s market value as institutional and other forms of demand continue to grow. In summary, Grok’s insights, as reported by Ripples, give a structured look at XRP’s supply under rising ETF demand in the crypto market. If current trends persist and new sources of demand emerge, the circulating liquid supply could contract significantly within the next 12 months, potentially creating conditions consistent with a supply-driven market shift.
