Ripple CTO David Schwartz discusses the ambiguity surrounding XRP’s circulating supply, drawing comparisons to Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings. CoinMarketCap reports 57.64 billion XRP in circulation, while XRPScan shows 62.23 billion. Schwartz emphasizes the subjective nature of defining circulating supply, referencing Satoshi’s untouched Bitcoin stash as a similar example.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s ownership of over 1 million BTC, untouched since Bitcoin’s inception, parallels the XRP supply dilemma. CoinMarketCap lists 19.81 million BTC in circulation, with a total supply of 21 million. Ripple’s XRP holdings include available coins and escrow-locked XRP released monthly over 42 months, with Ripple having no access until release.
