XRPL Token Liquidity Checker

Liquidity is how much you can trade before the price runs away from you, and on the XRP Ledger most of it sits in one AMM pool per token. Six numbers, all on a token’s page, tell you what a token can take. Here they are, live, for today’s most traded tokens.

The eight tokens with the most XRP traded in the last 24 hours, refreshed hourly; the same figures are on each token’s page. “XRP for +2%” is the size of a buy that moves the pool’s price up 2%; order-book bids and asks add to it.

What each number tells you

Pool size (TVL)
The XRP value of both sides of the token’s AMM pool. It caps what a pool trade can ever pay out.
XRP to move the price 2%
How much XRP a buy (or a sale) must be to move the pool’s price by 2%. The single best guide to how big a trade the token can take.
LP burned
The share of the pool’s liquidity tokens sent to an address nobody controls. That part of the pool can never be withdrawn; the rest can, by whoever holds it.
Providers
How many accounts hold the pool’s liquidity tokens. One provider holding everything can empty the pool in one transaction.
Top 10 share
The supply held by the ten largest holders. A few large holders can sell into the pool before anyone else.
Where it trades
Volume in the pool against volume on the order book. A token with no resting orders lives or dies with its pool.

Reading them together

Compare the trade you want with the 2% figure: a trade several times larger moves the price far more than 2%, and the swap quote will show it as price impact. Then ask whether that pool will still be there: a pool with little burned and a single provider can be emptied by that provider, and a supply held by a few wallets can be sold into the pool ahead of you. The swap on every token page quotes the exact result before you sign (how quotes work).

Questions

How do I check a token’s liquidity on the XRP Ledger?
Open the token’s page on xrpl.to: it shows the pool’s size, how much XRP moves the price 2%, how much of the pool is burned or locked, the order book and the holders. Compare the XRP you want to trade with the 2% figure.
What does LP burned mean?
Liquidity-provider tokens are a claim on a share of the pool. Burned ones were sent to an address nobody controls, so that share of the pool can never be withdrawn.
Why can a token with a big market cap be impossible to sell?
Market cap multiplies the supply by the last price; what you can actually get back is limited by the XRP in the pool and the bids on the order book.
