A recent post by XRPP claiming that “XRP has 32 halvings” stirred significant debate in the cryptocurrency community. The statement was swiftly corrected by an X user, BD InTheHouse , who emphasized that XRP itself does not have a halving cycle. Instead, XRP has historically benefitted from the cyclical effects of Bitcoin’s halvings , which occur every four years and have consistently set the stage for broader market rallies. This distinction is critical, as XRP’s supply mechanics differ entirely from Bitcoin’s, yet its performance has been closely tied to the macro impacts of Bitcoin’s programmed supply cuts. Bitcoin’s Halving Framework Bitcoin’s network is designed to reduce its mining rewards by half every 210,000 blocks, which takes place approximately every four years. Since its launch in 2009, the network has already experienced four halvings. XRP has 32 halvings We've only seen 4. Let that sink in. pic.twitter.com/3ycpIxfuhx — XRPP (@XRP_Productions) August 18, 2025 The Bitcoin halving events occurred in November 2012 (50 BTC to 25 BTC), July 2016 (25 BTC to 12.5 BTC), May 2020 (12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC), and April 2024 (6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC). The halving cycle will continue until the very last fraction of Bitcoin is mined, which is projected to happen around the year 2140. In total, Bitcoin will undergo 33 halvings. With four already completed, about 29 remain, stretching across roughly 116 years into the future. Each halving event reduces Bitcoin’s supply, potentially triggering market-wide supply shocks that have historically boosted Bitcoin and major altcoins such as XRP. Why XRP Does Not Halve Unlike Bitcoin, XRP was not designed with a halving cycle. Its supply of 100 billion tokens was created at inception, meaning there is no mining process and no block rewards to cut in half. Instead, XRP has a built-in deflationary mechanism where a small portion of tokens is burned as transaction fees. This process slowly decreases the total supply over time, but unlike Bitcoin, it doesn’t follow a predictable halving schedule. Nonetheless, XRP’s market performance shows that it has consistently benefited from Bitcoin’s halvings. This is not due to internal supply mechanics but to the broader shifts in liquidity, sentiment, and institutional interest that follow Bitcoin’s supply cuts. XRP’s Price Performance After Halvings The historical record highlights XRP’s tendency to rally in the aftermath of Bitcoin’s halvings . Following the 2012 halving, XRP rose from about $0.005 to $0.01 in the year that followed. After the 2016 halving, the token’s price surged from $0.006 to $0.26.

Most recently, after the April 2024 halving, XRP advanced from around $0.52 to trade above $3.00, as of report time. These movements underline the consistent correlation between Bitcoin’s halving cycles and XRP’s upward momentum. While the timing and magnitude of each rally vary, the broader pattern suggests that XRP has repeatedly leveraged Bitcoin’s halving-driven market expansions. Implications for the Future With 29 halvings still to come before Bitcoin’s final block reward reaches zero, XRP stands to encounter multiple opportunities for future rallies . Bitcoin halvings decrease supply, affect market liquidity, and have a proven track record of triggering bull markets in crypto. For XRP, which thrives in periods of broad risk-on sentiment, these cycles could continue to act as catalysts for major gains. As BD InTheHouse correctly pointed out, XRP does not have halvings of its own. Its strength lies in how it aligns with Bitcoin’s halving-driven cycles, repeatedly rallying as liquidity and demand flood the crypto space. With four halvings already in the history books and 29 of future halvings stretched over the next century, XRP remains positioned to benefit from one of the most powerful recurring catalysts in the digital asset market: the Bitcoin halving.
