Ripple (XRP) circulating supply history up to January 20, 2025
Ripple, or XRP, circulating supply in January 2025 was more than half of its maximum total supply, even if the cryptocurrency supports billions of tokens. The supply figures shown here start from August 2019 - the oldest available to the source - but XRP was launched in 2013 by U.S. company OpenLabs, which renamed itself into Ripple Labs. It ranks among the top cryptocurrencies based on market cap, as the XRP token is designed around payment settlement and transaction speed. The company Ripple faced charges in 2020 from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which led to a 125 million U.S. dollar fine in August 2024 as the company was sentenced for violating investor-protection laws. The SEC appealed this decision, deeming the sentence too low. The results of the U.S. elections in November 2024, however, and the announced changes to the leadership of the SEC, made crypto investors believe that the case against Ripple Labs might be dropped in January 2025.
