Its total supply was capped at 100 billion XRP at genesis, with 80 billion allocated to Ripple Labs and 20 billion to founders. Ripple placed 55 billion XRP into monthly time-release escrows; unused tokens automatically return to escrow. XRP underpins XRPL’s decentralized exchange, serves as a bridge asset between low-liquidity pairs, and powers on-demand liquidity in Ripple Payments corridors outside the US. Governance is decentralized, requiring ≥80 % validator approval for amendments over two weeks.
