WisdomTree has released an analysis indicating that XRP may face a supply shock much sooner than Bitcoin. The report notes that while Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million units, expected to be fully mined by 2140, XRP's total supply of 100 billion units could be exhausted in a few years due to its burn mechanism. XRP's supply decreases as transaction fees are burned, and with Ripple's escrow releases nearing completion, future XRP will primarily come from transaction burns. This deflationary model could increase XRP's scarcity and potentially its value.
