XRP News Today: XRP Top 10% Threshold Drops to 2 486 Tokens Reflecting Greater Concentration

Just 2,486 XRP is now required to enter the top 10% of all XRP holders, according to the latest updated rich list. This threshold marks a shift in the distribution dynamics of the digital asset, indicating that a relatively modest amount of XRP can now grant entry into the upper echelon of ownership [1]. The data also highlights that the top 1% of holders control at least 50,637 XRP, reinforcing the concentration of wealth among a small group of addresses [1].

The distribution remains highly skewed. To join the top 0.1% or less, a wallet must hold 369,080 XRP, while the top 0.5% threshold is set at 100,000 XRP [1]. Meanwhile, over 663,301 accounts currently hold at least 2,486 XRP, placing them within the top 10% bracket [1]. These figures reveal that the top 10% of XRP holders account for a significant portion of the total supply, illustrating a high degree of concentration in ownership.

Further analysis indicates that as of August 3, 2025, 10% of all XRP wallets hold more than 2,438 XRP, reinforcing the observation that wealth remains centralized among a small number of addresses [3]. According to an independent analysis, holding at least 1,000 XRP is already well above the average for most users, emphasizing that smaller positions have limited influence on the broader market [3].

The updated rich list underscores broader trends seen across the cryptocurrency industry, where a small number of wallets control a disproportionate share of the total supply. This pattern is consistent with other major digital assets and serves as a useful metric for investors and analysts seeking to understand XRP’s liquidity and distribution dynamics. The rich list is also a valuable tool for investors to assess their relative positions within the XRP ecosystem.

While some market forecasts suggest a potential price surge to $10 per XRP, these remain speculative and depend heavily on regulatory developments and overall market conditions [4]. Currently, XRP has a market capitalization of approximately $180 billion with 59 billion coins in circulation [5]. A $10 price target would push the market cap to $590 billion, but such a scenario is considered unlikely in the near term.

The XRP rich list continues to evolve, providing insights into the asset’s ownership structure and offering a snapshot of wealth distribution within the network. As with other cryptocurrencies, the concentration of holdings among a small group of addresses remains a key characteristic of XRP’s ecosystem.
