Top Trader Says Ripple Will Eventually Stop Selling XRP. Here’s why

Crypto commentator Jungle Inc has laid out a case for why Ripple will eventually stop selling XRP from its escrow. The argument centers on the simple premise that holding XRP could become more valuable to Ripple than liquidating it.

The company currently releases 1 billion XRP monthly from escrow to fund operations and ecosystem development. It returns unused portions, but the consistent selling pressure has drawn sustained criticism from the community.

One community member noted that Ripple’s model has essentially transferred cash to the company while leaving retail investors to absorb the supply. Another described it as “free money out of thin air” for Ripple, suggesting the company has every incentive to continue selling XRP.

The Strategy Comparison

Jungle Inc draws a parallel to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. The logic is that the more XRP Ripple holds, the higher its private company valuation can climb. “The more XRP they have on their balance sheet, the higher the market cap of that company will go,” he said.

The key distinction he raises is debt. Strategy has taken on significant leverage to fund its Bitcoin purchases. Ripple carries no equivalent burden. That financial position gives Ripple flexibility that Strategy lacks.

Productive Use Over Liquidation

The stronger part of the argument involves how Ripple could deploy XRP without selling it. Jungle Inc points to lending, cross-border payments, and market-making as avenues to generate revenue from XRP holdings. Speaking on this strategy, he said, “I think that’s exactly what they’re going to do long term.”

This is the scenario where Ripple’s escrow becomes a strategic asset rather than a funding mechanism. If XRP appreciates, the company’s balance sheet grows without any additional capital raise or token sale. The selling stops because it no longer needs to happen.

XRP Army Weighs In

The responses to the post were skeptical in places. Some community members questioned why Ripple would ever voluntarily stop selling. Market participants have accused Ripple of profiting from the escrow for years. They find it hard to believe that the company will abandon that supposed money-making avenue.

Jungle Inc is not predicting when the selling stops. He is arguing that Ripple’s incentives shift as XRP’s price rises. At some price level, selling becomes counterproductive. The company’s valuation, its utility revenue, and its balance sheet all benefit more from accumulation than from liquidation. Whether Ripple acts on that logic remains to be seen.
