Analysts continue to explore how XRP’s value could respond to a whopping reduction in supply. While the XRP Ledger (XRPL) already has a built-in burn mechanism, projections suggest that a more substantial burn event, such as eliminating 10% of the total tokens, could lead to a notable shift in XRP’s price trajectory. How the Burn Mechanism Works Every transaction on the XRPL requires a small fee, which is permanently destroyed rather than redistributed. This process was introduced not as a method of creating scarcity, but as a measure to discourage spam transactions. Since the ledger went live more than 13 years ago, just 14.19 million XRP have been burned. This figure represents only about 0.014% of the total maximum supply of 100 billion tokens. At the current burn rate , which averages around 600 tokens per day due to reduced network activity, it would take more than a millennium to destroy even 1% of the supply. This slow pace has led some community members to argue for accelerated methods of removing tokens. However, the broader impact of a larger-scale burn remains a subject of debate. XRP Projected Price if 10% of Supply Burned To examine the potential outcome of a more aggressive burn scenario, Google Gemini modeled what might happen if 10 billion XRP, equivalent to 10% of the total supply, were removed from circulation. At the time of press, XRP trades around $2.79 with a circulating supply of approximately 59.48 billion tokens, giving it a market capitalisation of roughly $166 billion. If the supply were reduced to 49.48 billion tokens while the market cap remained constant, the price would increase to $3.25. Market Reactions and Short-Term Effects Google Gemini emphasized that markets are unlikely to respond mechanically to such a major event. A sudden burn of this magnitude could attract investor attention, drive buying interest, and increase speculative activity. In that case, XRP might initially rally toward the $4 to $5 range as traders respond to the deflationary shock. The AI model further suggested that breaking past XRP’s historical peak of $3.84 would be probable under these circumstances. This could establish a new baseline for the asset and generate stronger momentum in the medium term. XRP Long-Term Projections In a sustained scenario of higher demand combined with a reduced circulating supply, Gemini projected that XRP could stabilize within the $10 to $15 range . At those levels, the market capitalization would stand between $495 billion and $742 billion. Such a valuation would place XRP among the top global digital assets. However, achieving and maintaining these levels would require consistent adoption and liquidity growth.

Modeling by Google Gemini indicates that a 10% reduction could initially push XRP above $5 and potentially position it for a longer-term range between $10 and $15. Still, the actual impact would depend heavily on investor behaviour, market conditions, and the broader adoption of Ripple’s technology.
