"Real Supply Shortage is Coming"...XRP, 7 Billion Units Awaiting Purchase

▲ XRP

In the XRP market, the possibility of a supply shortage has been raised with the capture of Evernorth's initial public offering (IPO) and demand signals for 7 billion units.

According to U.Today, a virtual asset media outlet, on April 24 (local time), Evernorth, a virtual asset management company supported by Ripple and SBI, is pursuing a listing through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger. Evernorth plans to use the funds raised through the listing to purchase XRP in the market. Analysts predict that this process could absorb circulating supply, leading to a supply shock.

XRP demand signals confirmed by market data amount to 7 billion units, indicating institutional investors' intent to purchase. Evernorth has currently secured over 388.7 million XRP, building assets worth $1 billion. With additional capital inflow, the absorption of market supply is expected to accelerate. This is part of a strategy to increase asset holdings through institutional lending and liquidity provision.

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen invested 50 million XRP from his wallet into Evernorth. Large-scale transfers reduce market liquidity and limit the supply accessible to individual investors. Evernorth's activities, combined with the anticipation of XRP spot ETF approval, are analyzed as key variables that will affect asset value.

Institution-led supply and demand changes are altering XRP's price structure. Evernorth's direct purchase method increases the proportion of long-term holdings, strengthening price rigidity against downward movements. Experts diagnose that, considering the current accumulation speed and demand signals, XRP may show an independent price trend compared to the overall market, including Bitcoin (BTC).

The XRP ecosystem has entered a new phase through the inflow of institutional capital and supply control. When Evernorth's listing process is complete and fund execution begins, the buying-dominated market is expected to strengthen. Investors are closely watching when the 7 billion demand signal will be reflected in actual supply and demand, and the impact of the supply shortage on prices.
