Why Institutions Can’t Use Most of XRP’s Supply

XRP is often described as one of the most liquid digital assets in the market. But liquidity for trading is not the same thing as liquidity for settlement. In this episode, we unpack a critical disconnect: why a large portion of XRP’s circulating supply is not actually usable by financial institutions operating real payment corridors.

By looking at custody, regulation, treasury behavior, and institutional incentives, this video explains how “effective float” works in practice — and why global settlement systems compress available supply over time. This is not a price video. It’s a systems-level look at how money actually moves when regulation, compliance, and infrastructure matter.
