Meanwhile, while the stash has reduced over the years to its current valuation, it still holds over 40% of the $XRP’s supply. Ripple’s recent quarterly disclosurehas revealed its holdings compared to the last quarter of 2024.

Ripple’s $XRPHoldings

Ripple subdivides its holdings into two categories: $XRPheld in its spendable wallet and those locked up in escrow. The firm uses the former to conduct its payment ventures and releases 1 million $XRPfrom the latter every month.

As per its Q4 2024 attestation filing, Ripple held 4,485,366,320 $XRPin its wallet and 38,030,000,005 $XRPin its on-ledger escrow account. However, its Q1 2025 market report shows a notable variation.
