XRP, a popular cryptocurrency, has a smaller holder base than many people realize. Despite the existence of 6.4 million XRP wallets, it does not mean that 6.4 million individuals own XRP. Many users, especially experienced ones, have multiple wallets for various purposes such as trading, storage, and security.
A significant number of these wallets are inactive, unfunded, or belong to exchanges like Binance and Uphold. Some wallets may only contain a small amount of XRP, often referred to as “dust” wallets. Based on blockchain data and AI analysis, it is estimated that only 30 to 40 percent of these wallets are actually used by individual holders.
According to Edo Farina, a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space, this means that the actual number of people holding XRP is much smaller, ranging from 1.5 to 2 million worldwide. This is less than 0.03 percent of the global population, which means that less than one in every 4,000 people currently holds XRP.
So, how much XRP do you need to be considered a top holder? Recent data suggests that owning just 2,500 XRP puts you in the top 10 percent of all XRP wallets. At the current market prices, this amounts to approximately $5,000. While it may not be as easy as before, it is still an achievable amount for many investors.
There is a common belief that if XRP ever reaches high values, the elites or governments will prevent regular people from profiting. However, when we examine the numbers, the situation is quite different.
Even if 2.5 million wallets each held 250 XRP and XRP reached $1,000, each person would make $250,000. This is a significant return, but not enough to disrupt global financial systems or attract serious attention from regulators. Realistically, most people are unlikely to hold XRP until it reaches those high prices. Many will cash out early, at $10, $50, or $100.
