Xrp Whale Wallets Hit All Time High

Whale Wallet Count Reaches Record High

The number of XRP Ledger wallets holding at least 10,000 $XRP has climbed to a record 332,230, according to on-chain analytics firm Santiment. The milestone marks the highest level ever recorded for this cohort of mid-to-large holders and points to a sustained accumulation trend that has been building since June 2024.

Santiment data shows the growth has been consistent since June 2024, with the continued rise in wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP described as an important long-term signal, reflecting that larger holders have kept accumulating even through periods of volatility and uncertainty.

The record comes after a turbulent few months for crypto markets. Wallet growth had pulled back following a sharp market downturn in February, but the count has since fully recovered and pushed to new highs, suggesting that larger participants used the price weakness as a buying opportunity rather than an exit point.

Accumulation During Fear: A Bullish Long-Term Signal

Analysts typically view rising mid-to-large wallet counts as a constructive long-term indicator. The pattern reflects behavior that has appeared before prior XRP rallies: large holders adding to positions while retail sentiment remains cautious. A separate Santiment dataset showed 42 wallets with balances above 1 million XRP returned to the ledger in early 2026, a development Santiment described as an encouraging sign for the long-term.

The broader picture of large-holder behavior on the XRP Ledger has been consistently constructive. Even as XRP retraced from its January 2025 peak above $3, the number of wallets holding 10,000 or more XRP did not decline, underlining the resilience of this holder base through price swings.

The data points to a market in which large participants are positioning for the longer term, even as shorter-term price action remains uncertain. For XRP watchers, the steady growth in high-balance wallets is one of the cleaner on-chain signals to track when assessing underlying demand.
