As a seasoned crypto investor with years of experience navigating the volatile digital asset market, I find myself intrigued by this recent development involving the XRP Ledger and the burning of 10,000 Drop tokens. Having witnessed numerous market fluctuations, I’ve learned to read between the lines and interpret the hidden messages in the cryptic world of crypto.
It’s unexpectedly happened that a transaction on the XRP Ledger resulted in the destruction of 10,000 tokens, causing buzz and discussion among cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
According to XRP Explorer XRPscan, an incident occurred where 10,000 drop tokens were simultaneously destroyed in a single transaction. In response, XRPscan posted a tribute on Twitter for the burned tokens and attached a picture of the transaction data. This act left many people questioning whether this destruction was accidental or intentional.

As Thomas Silkjaer, the Head of Analytics and Compliance at InFTF, I’ve offered my insights on this intriguing matter. My speculation is that the burn could potentially have been instigated by the issuer themselves, thereby adding depth to the narrative and sparking curiosity about their motivations behind such an action.
The meme coin being discussed here, referred to as ‘Drop’, operates on the XRP Ledger and boasts a market capitalization exceeding $10 million. To clarify, one Drop is equivalent to 0.000001 XRP, since there are a million Drops in one XRP. This minuscule value indicates that the ‘burn’ (or removal from circulation) might have substantial long-term effects, despite appearing insignificant at first glance.
Deliberate action?
According to a recent tweet by First Ledger, a service enabling tracking, trading, and management of tokens on the XRP Ledger, and home to the Drop token, indicates that the transaction leading to token burning might have been intentional, not an unintentional occurrence.
Over a prolonged period, by continuously issuing XRP tokens, we might end up depleting such a substantial amount that this scarcity could potentially lead to an increase in its value – often referred to as a ‘price pump’. This surge in price, in turn, may suggest that meme coins operating on the XRP Ledger could be experiencing a positive trend.

Through a tweet, First Ledger subtly indicated they were planning to incinerate XRP tokens as a means to limit their availability, potentially boosting the value of each remaining token by creating scarcity.
In simpler terms, First Ledger stated on Twitter that as more and more XRP tokens are launched over time, the demand for these tokens could increase significantly due to their burning, potentially leading to an upward trend in their price. This surge in price, in turn, suggests a positive outlook for meme coins built on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), making them potentially profitable investments.
Currently, at this moment, First Ledger has not made any comments or acknowledgments regarding the 10,000 drop token burn, which leaves space for various interpretations and assumptions.
Over the past week, there has been a substantial increase in active XRP Ledger wallets. A total of 35,799 distinct wallets made at least one transfer daily, which is the highest number seen in more than three months. Furthermore, an impressive 3,858 new wallets were created in just one day, marking the highest daily creation in over seven months.
