In a recent analysis, Chad Steingraber has proposed a model that could significantly impact the XRP market. His findings suggest a substantial daily acquisition strategy that could lead to a dramatic reduction in the circulating supply of XRP over the next year. The source notes that this approach may create upward pressure on prices as demand outstrips supply.
Daily Acquisition Target
Steingraber's model sets a target daily average acquisition level of 11 million XRP, which, when scaled across twelve ETF funds, results in a combined daily intake of 132 million XRP. This accumulation strategy translates to approximately 666 million XRP being acquired weekly, indicating a robust demand for the cryptocurrency.
One-Month Projection
Looking ahead, the one-month projection estimates that these acquisition flows could lead to around 264 billion XRP being moved into cold storage. This shift would effectively render a significant portion of XRP inaccessible, thereby tightening the available supply in the market.
Long-Term Supply Reduction
If this accumulation pattern continues over a twelve-month period, the model predicts that approximately 3.168 trillion XRP could be removed from circulation. Such a drastic reduction in supply could have profound implications for the market dynamics of XRP, potentially driving up its value as scarcity increases.
CME Group has recently reported record trading volumes in the derivatives market, highlighting its leadership in financial products. This growth contrasts with the XRP market dynamics discussed in the recent analysis. For more details, see CME Group's report.
