Software engineer and serial AI startup founder Vincent Van Code has made a bold prediction about XRP and its public sales by 2030.
XRP has a circulating supply of 65.2 billion tokens, according to data from XRPSCan. This means that fewer than 35 billion of the total 100 billion supply remain to be released, with 14.24 million already burned.
XRP to Become a Wholesale Token
Notably, the software engineer’s context for this audacious assertion follows the choice of ticker for the Bitwise XRP ETF. For context, the prominent asset manager announced yesterday that it would launch the XPR-focused spot product today Thursday, under the ticker “XRP.”
In response, XRP community figure Krippenreiter asked why Bitwise was able to select XRP as the official ticker. Given the similarity with the token itself, he joked that analysts and pundits would now have to write explainers to differentiate the XRPL native token from the ETF product.
