The distribution of XRP holdings among different tiers, based on the updated ranking ladder by JackTheRippler, reveals a highly concentrated wealth distribution within the XRP ecosystem. Here's a breakdown of the distribution:
1. **Top 1% Holders**: Only 663 wallets hold over 5.73 million XRP, which represents a very small fraction of the total number of XRP wallets. This tier includes major institutional investors and exchanges with significant XRP holdings.
2. **Top 0.1% Holders**: Approximately 0.1% of wallets hold between 369,080 and 5.73 million XRP, indicating a significant amount of wealth but lower than the top 1%.
3. **Top 0.01% Holders**: A mere 663 wallets hold over 5.73 million XRP, highlighting an extremely elite group of XRP holders with the largest investments.
4. **Lower Tiers**: As you move down the ranking ladder, the amount of XRP required to enter each tier decreases. For example, the top 10% of holders require a minimum of 2,486 XRP, which is significantly less than the amount required to be in the top 1%.
This distribution indicates a highly centralized wealth structure within the XRP ecosystem, with a small number of wallets holding the majority of the XRP supply.
