XRP price analysis in 2024 amid Ripple sell-offs
As of this writing, XRP trades at $0.587 and is losing 4.23% year-to-date. The nearly stable performance is thanks to a recent recovery from a massive drop in early July.
Nevertheless, Ripple’s token draws a downtrend in 2024’s price chart, making lower highs and lows throughout the year. This slightly negative price action could be the result of the company’s selling activity and consequent supply inflation.

With a current 55.91 billion XRP circulating supply, Ripple’s unlocks and sales in 2024 have inflated the supply by 3.26% so far – equivalent to the YTD observed loss. Therefore, XRP traders and investors should closely monitor Ripple’s movements in order to improve financial decision-making.
On August 1, Ripple is set to unlock another 1 billion tokens and sell a fraction of it, as happened so far.
