Crypto commentator Michelle Kirby went viral after claiming that XRP is approaching a critical supply threshold.

In a short video, she stated that buyers had absorbed approximately 40% of the remaining available supply within a single hour. She concluded that retail investors may be running out of time.

“This is probably the last XRP that retail is going to be able to purchase,” she said, suggesting retail could be priced out. Kirby added that once XRP hits $2.45, holders should be prepared for a significant move. She stopped short of giving specific financial advice but made clear she personally plans to hold.

What the Data Shows

Real supply data tells a more complex story. In late 2025, reports showed that XRP’s balance on exchanges sat around 1.6 billion, marking a 7-year low.

Investors pulled more than 2 billion tokens from exchanges within a few months and almost 4 billion in October. That is a meaningful contraction, but it sits nowhere near the sub-100 million figure Kirby’s comments implied.

The Community Responds

What Is Confirmed

XRP supply on exchanges has genuinely declined. The trend is real, and institutional accumulation, ETF inflows, and holders moving tokens to cold storage have all contributed to tighter liquidity.

However, the scale of Kirby’s claim, putting the available supply under 96.8 million tokens, sits well outside what the available data supports. The supply shock described is not supported by current data.
