XRP has drawn renewed attention following a large token unlock from Ripple, alongside renewed discussion about the network’s long-term cryptographic security and its supply dynamics.
Validator Vet reviewed all 7.8 million XRP Ledger accounts and found that a large portion of the supply is technically “quantum exposed.”
An account is considered exposed if it has ever made a transaction that reveals its public key on chain. Accounts that have never transacted are considered theoretically safer because their public keys are not yet visible.
Key figures from Vet’s review:

The report also references EvernorthXRP’s earlier data that 7 billion XRP were withdrawn from exchanges in February, described as the largest monthly outflow since late 2025—typically associated with reduced selling pressure.
