Token Dossier

XRP ($XRP), taken apart the way the desk does.

XRP (XRP) Token Dossier · Token edition, as of 2026-11-13

The XRP dossier is the desk's XRP teardown written out as a document, with the figures a short video cannot hold in one place: the token in numbers, the supply in circulation against the total and the maximum, the protocol's fees and revenue where they are tracked, and the level map rebuilt from the latest price. A token files no quarterly report, so this is a shorter document than a stock dossier, and it is priced as such.

Excerpt

1. The teardown

Written 2026-10-30, with prices as of 2026-10-30. Figures in this part are as the desk read them that day; parts 2 to 5 carry the numbers as of 2026-11-13.

The setup

X R P closed Sunday 51% lower than a year ago. Over the last twelve months, the X R P Ledger collected about $284000 in fees. Yet the market values the coins in circulation at about $82 billion.

The network

The X R P Ledger is a payments network running since twenty twelve. It settles a transfer in a few seconds, for a fraction of a cent. X R P is its native coin. Ripple, the company behind it, builds payment products on top and holds a large share of the supply. On Hyperliquid, X R P perpetual futures traded $37.7 million in the last twenty four hours.

What it earns

What it earns. The data site DefiLlama counts $34700 of fees on the X R P Ledger over the last thirty days. Over twelve months, that is $284000. Every one of those fees is burned. Nobody collects them. Since twenty twelve, about 14.4 million X R P have been burned, out of 100 billion. The fee is there to stop spam, not to pay holders.

The supply

CoinGecko counts 63.4 billion X R P in circulation, out of 99.99 billion. Most of the remaining 36.6 billion is held by Ripple, much of it in escrow since twenty seventeen. That escrow can release up to 1 billion X R P each month. What Ripple does not use goes back into escrow. At Sunday's price, the coins outside circulation are worth about $47 billion.

What the dossier has that the video does not

One dated table for the token: price, market value, fully diluted value, supply in circulation, total and maximum supply, volume and the record high, with a plain read of what the table says. Where a data provider tracks the protocol, its fees and revenue over 30 days and one year, and how many times annualised fees the token trades at, said as an estimate.

Kept current

The dossier carries an "as of" date. The tables are rebuilt on a regular schedule and the desk's daily check flags any dossier left more than 45 days without a refresh. The written teardown keeps its date, and a line says how far the price has moved since.

What is inside

  • The teardown in writing: what the token is, who earns it, the weak points and the verdict, dated.
  • What changed since it was written: the price then and now.
  • The token in numbers: market value, fully diluted value, supply in circulation, total and maximum supply, with a plain read.
  • Fees and revenue of the protocol over 30 days and one year, where a public data provider tracks them.
  • The level map rebuilt from the latest price: the 52-week range and the 50 and 200-day averages.
  • Sources: a link to every data page used.

Buy it if

  • You hold or watch $XRP and want a structured read before acting.
  • You want figures you can check yourself, not an opinion.

Skip it if

  • You want a buy signal. A dossier explains and maps; it does not signal.
  • You expect audited accounts. A token has none: the figures come from public data providers and are labelled as such.
