XRP price is trading around $1.39, while wallet distribution data shows a wide gap between the amount of XRP held by smaller investors and the largest wallets.
According to XRPscan data, an address needs roughly 3.65 million to 3.71 million XRP to rank among the top 0.01% of XRP holders. At the current price, that represents approximately $5.3 million.
The threshold for the top 0.1% is about 277,000 XRP, worth roughly $400,000. The top 0.5% requires around 80,000 XRP, while approximately 44,000 XRP is enough to rank in the top 1%.
For lower tiers, the top 5% threshold at about 7,500 XRP and the top 25% threshold at roughly 100 XRP.
Ripple and Exchanges Hold Large XRP Balances
Ripple remains the largest holder in the wallet distribution data. The company controls 26 accounts containing approximately 38.6% of XRP’s circulating supply, with most of those holdings placed in escrow.
The data also identifies major exchanges and large holders among the largest XRP wallets. Upbit accounts for about 6.4% of XRP, while Binance holds approximately 2.6%.
Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen holds around 2.53%. Bithumb accounts for approximately 1.8%, although one of the listed large wallets is unidentified, while Uphold holds roughly 1.63%.
Exchange balances do not necessarily represent the exchanges’ own investments because they can include XRP held on behalf of customers.
What Would XRP Holdings Be Worth at Higher Prices?
A move toward $3.50 would significantly increase the value of large XRP holdings.
An investor holding 2,000 XRP would have approximately $7,000 worth of XRP at $3.50. A 7,500-XRP balance would be worth about $26,250, while 44,000 XRP would be worth approximately $154,000.
A holder with 277,000 XRP would have roughly $969,500 at the same price, while 1 million XRP would be worth approximately $3.5 million.
At a $5 XRP price, a holder with 1 million XRP would have $5 million worth of the asset, while 10 million XRP would be worth $50 million.
These figures represent hypothetical values and do not predict where XRP will trade.
XRP Rich List Highlights Concentrated Ownership
The wallet distribution shows that a relatively small number of addresses control substantial amounts of XRP.
However, the largest wallets include Ripple escrow accounts and exchange wallets, meaning the distribution should not be interpreted as a direct measure of individual investor ownership.
The data also shows that holding approximately 7,500 XRP would place an address near the top 5% of wallets, while about 44,000 XRP would put it near the top 1%.
