In a recent post on X, XRP-focused YouTuber Moon Lambo shared a visual breakdown illustrating how long it would take to burn the total supply of 100 billion XRP under various transaction and fee 0 figures, generated by ChatGPT and presented in a detailed table, indicate that even under the most extreme conditions, the complete depletion of XRP through transaction fees would take thousands to millions of 1 table outlines eight potential cases, each combining different transaction per second (TPS) levels and per-transaction fees measured in “drops,” where one XRP equals one million 2 current “today-ish baseline” scenario assumes 10 TPS and a 10-drop fee, leading to an estimated burn rate of 8.64 XRP per 3 that pace, it would take approximately 31.7 million years to eliminate all XRP from 4 a tenfold increase to 100 TPS would only reduce the timeframe to about 3.1 million years.
I asked ChatGPT how long it would take for all $XRP to be burned in various scenarios. Answer: Thousands of 5 hundreds of thousands of 6 millions of 7 on number of transactions and the transaction fee. Conclusion: We'll never run out of $XRP. pic.
twitter. com/BziQAPf1EE — Moon Lambo (@MoonLamboio) October 27, 2025 Scaling the Scenarios The data further explores high-volume transaction 8 1,000 TPS and 10 drops per transaction, XRP would burn at a rate of 864 XRP per day, requiring around 316,000 years to reach zero 9 the rate to 10,000 TPS under the same conditions reduces the duration to approximately 31,000 10 calculations become more notable when the transaction fees 11 example, 10,000 TPS at 100 drops per transaction leads to 86,400 XRP burned daily, equating to approximately 3,169 years to burn all 12 scaled further to 100,000 TPS and 1,000 drops, the supply would vanish in about 32 13 most extreme example—1,000,000 TPS with a 1,000-drop fee—results in a complete burn in just three years.

Therefore, he cautioned that investors should not depend on the slow burn rate as a mechanism for XRP price 16 Lambo’s post highlights that the natural XRP burn rate is negligible in terms of supply 17 at significantly higher transaction volumes and fees, the process of eliminating the total 100 billion XRP supply would extend across thousands or even millions of 18 ChatGPT’s calculation concluded, XRP’s deflationary mechanism through transaction fees is too gradual to exhaust the asset’s total 19 : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial 20 views expressed in this article may include the author’s personal opinions and do not represent Times Tabloid’s 21 are advised to conduct thorough research before making any investment 22 action taken by the reader is strictly at their own 23 Tabloid is not responsible for any financial 24 us on X , Facebook , Telegram , and Google News
