Burn Rate Climbs as Price Drops
XRP dropped 15.86% through October trading desks Thursday, tracking toward its first negative monthly close since July despite a 147% surge in network burn activity recorded by XRPScan. Transaction fee burns removed 1,644 tokens from circulation on October 30 alone, pushing the cumulative token destruction total to 14,423,678 tokens since genesis. The network deflationary protocol automatically destroys fees on every ledger execution. Liquidity dried up quickly. Sellers overwhelmed spot order books.
Monthly historical gains achieved in August and September vanished as broader crypto markets faced heavy selling pressure. External security breaches across major trading venues drained billions in client capital earlier in the week. Exchange order depth thinned out immediately. Traders pulled open bids off the books.
