🚨 WHY XRP BURNING DURING TRANSACTIONS WILL NOT CREATE SCARCITY OR DRIVE PRICES TO 100 USD 🚨
Do not get me wrong, I am not XRP hater, and actually XRP is the only token I am trading on spot, but for me that is an investment which somewhere in the future I expect to double it's value. This is just reality check.
Many believe XRP's burn mechanism will make it scarce over time, but let’s do the math and see why that’s not the case.
🔥 HOW MUCH XRP ACTUALLY BURNING?
All-time high burn: ~60,000 XRP/dayCurrent average burn: ~6,000 XRP/dayTotal XRP supply: 100,000,000,000 (100B XRP)
⏳ PROJECTED SUPPLY PREDICTION
Even at the highest burn rate:
Yearly burn at 60K/day = 21.9M XRP/year100 years of burning = ~2.19B XRP burnedRemaining supply after 100 years: ~97.8B XRP
At current burn rates (~6K/day):
Yearly burn = 2.19M XRP100 years = ~219M XRP burnedRemaining supply after 100 years: 99.78B XRP
📉 WHY THIS WOULDN'T CAUSE THE SCARCITY OR 100 USD price
Even in 100 years, XRP supply will still be nearly 98B+.Bitcoin halvings create real scarcity by cutting mining rewards—XRP has no similar mechanism.The burn rate is tiny compared to supply, meaning scarcity will never be significant.For XRP to hit $100, its market cap would need to be $5-10 trillion, surpassing the entire crypto market today.
💵AND WHAT IF WE MULTOPLY DAILY MAX BY 10. WILL IT REACH 100 THAN?
Still not probable. 600 k daily supply burn will give us 219M XRP burning a year. Something to keep in mind that there is only 51B XRP in circulation on the market. And there are 1B of XRP release per year in average which basically means that even the most optimistic burning rate will not cover the supply released to the market during the next 50 years.
✅ SUMMARY
XRP burning is not enough to create real scarcity, and it alone won’t push XRP to $100. Adoption and utility matter more than supply reduction. 🚀
