XRP Holders to Coinbase: “Keep the Change, Ya Filthy Animal!”

by

So, apparently, XRP holders are having a little hissy fit with Coinbase. You know, the kind where you storm out of the room, slam the door, and then realize you left your phone inside. But hey, at least they’re doing it together-unity, baby! Reports say XRP’s supply on Coinbase has plummeted to levels not seen since the last time I tried to parallel park. Investors are boycotting the exchange faster than I avoid eye contact with my neighbor. Why? Oh, just the usual-Coinbase being Coinbase, and the CLARITY Act being about as clear as my chances of winning a marathon.

XRP Supply on Coinbase: Lower Than My Patience at a Buffet Line

XRP cheerleader Diana (yes, she’s got a megaphone and everything) took to X-formerly known as Twitter, but who cares-to break down the drama. As of late March 2026, Coinbase’s XRP stash has shrunk to a measly 101.86 million. That’s right, folks, a 90% drop in a few months. Who knew XRP holders had such strong feelings? Maybe they’re just mad Coinbase didn’t invite them to the cool kids’ table.

Turns out, the boycott is all about Coinbase throwing a tantrum over the CLARITY Act. Apparently, they’re not fans of the part that bans passive yield on stablecoins. Shocking, I know-a company not wanting to give up a $1.35 billion revenue stream. Next thing you know, they’ll tell us they’re in it for the tech, not the money. Oh, wait, they already did that.

And let’s not forget the cherry on top: rumors that Coinbase asked Ripple to pay millions to list XRP back in 2019. Because nothing says “decentralized finance” like a good old-fashioned shakedown. Diana’s been crunching the numbers, and it looks like holders are fleeing Coinbase faster than I leave a party when the host runs out of snacks. Net outflows? Try 21 to 95 million XRP in 30 days. That’s a lot of tokens saying, “Peace out, Coinbase.”

If this keeps up, Coinbase might end up with fewer XRP tokens than I have unread emails. But hey, at least XRP holders are proving they’ve got backbone. Or maybe they’re just really good at holding grudges. Either way, Diana’s warning that this could lead to a supply crunch if demand picks up. Because nothing says “bullish” like a shortage of something everyone suddenly wants.

Supply Crunch? More Like Coinbase’s Worst Nightmare

So, here’s the deal: fewer XRP tokens on Coinbase + sudden buying frenzy = prices going up. It’s basic economics, folks. Or, as I like to call it, “the Larry David effect”-when you stop caring, everyone wants what you’ve got. If XRP holders keep playing hard to get, they might just end up with a price rally. Who knew being petty could pay off?

Sure, it looks bad for Coinbase now, but hey, maybe they’ll learn their lesson. Or not. Either way, XRP holders are sitting pretty, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up. And if they don’t? Well, at least they’ve got each other. And that’s more than I can say for my last book club meeting.
