Ripple CTO David Schwartz has addressed the discrepancy in circulating supply reported by different platforms for XRP, highlighting the complexity of defining what constitutes circulating supply in the crypto space. He compared it to the debate over which bitcoins belong to Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, and whether they should be considered circulating. CoinMarketCap reports XRP's circulating supply as 57.64 billion, while XRPScan reported 62.23 billion. Schwartz's analogy is relevant as Nakamoto is believed to own over 1 million BTC, which are considered out of circulation due to inactivity. Ripple's XRP holdings are divided into two categories, with some subject to on-ledger escrow lockups.
