A Crypto Founder Highlights the XRP Rich List

A crypto founder and XRP community figure has drawn attention to the XRP Rich list, especially the top 5% percentile.

Amid ongoing market uncertainty limiting XRP’s growth, mixed sentiments among market participants have led to both bearish and bullish reactions. Different address tiers are using various strategies to either mitigate losses or position themselves for greater gains.

Holding 10,000 XRP Lands You in the Top 5%

The number of wallets holding between 10,000 XRP ($24,500) and 100,000 XRP ($245,000) has risen by over 5,000 since the market downturn began in February.

As this group of addresses grows, Dr. Artur Kirjakulov, founder of market resource XPMarket, highlighted that those at the lower end may have joined an elite circle. Specifically, he shared data indicating that addresses holding at least 10,000 XRP rank among the top 4.72% (or approximately 5%) of all addresses. Essentially, if you hold at least 10,000 XRP, you are positioned among the top 5% of XRP holders, outpacing 95% of all addresses.

In context, there are around 6.3 million XRP accounts. Among these, the 161,048 accounts holding between 10,000 and 25,000 XRP make up the top 4.72% and collectively own 2.43 billion XRP, or 4.17% of the circulating supply.

Most addresses, however, possess between 0 and 500 XRP ($1,225). Notably, 2.58 million addresses hold between 0 and 20 XRP ($49), while those with 20 to 500 XRP total 2.52 million. Together, these constitute about 81% of total XRP addresses but only hold 226 million XRP. Conversely, nearly 296,992 addresses hold at least 10,000 XRP and hold a combined total of 60.24 billion XRP tokens.

Mixed Behavioral Trends

Interestingly, data from behavior analytics platform Santiment indicates mixed behaviors among these addresses. Since February, holders of between 1,000 and 100,000 XRP have accumulated more tokens, increasing their collective balance by 200 million XRP during this time.

Meanwhile, addresses with holdings from 100,000 to 1 million XRP have decreased their stacks. This group reported a reduction of 50 million XRP, bringing their total balance to 6.62 billion since February.
