🔥 Major Shift in XRP Distribution — Whales Are Moving Big
The XRP rich list has undergone a rapid, unexpected transformation over the past few weeks — and analysts say whales are tightening their grip on supply.
Market watcher RiskTake (@RiskzTake) highlighted a striking trend:
large holders are expanding, while retail wallets appear to be getting pushed out of key tiers.
This shift suggests mounting pressure on smaller investors, especially during heavy accumulation phases dominated by whale activity.
⭐ Month-to-Month Whale Movement
Fresh data shows increases in wallet counts across nearly every tier — but with lower minimum balance requirements.
This is a classic signal of whale-led accumulation and broader top-tier distribution.
🔹 Top 0.01%
Now: 728 wallets holding ≥ 4,167,022 XRP
Last month: 706 wallets holding ≥ 5,883,010 XRP
📌 More wallets… lower entry balance. Indicates distribution among more large holders.
🔹 Top 0.1%
From 7,055 wallets ≥ 344,209 XRP
To 7,283 wallets ≥ 315,532 XRP
🔹 Top 0.2%
From 14,110 wallets ≥ 191,354 XRP
To 14,567 wallets ≥ 180,030 XRP
This same pattern repeats across almost all major brackets:
bigger accounts are entering tiers once dominated by smaller holders.
⭐ Rising Supply Concentration
More wallet growth + lower thresholds = increasing whale penetration.
Key Tier Changes
2%: 141,102 → 145,670 wallets
3%: 211,653 → 218,505 wallets
4%: 282,204 → 291,340 wallets
5%: 352,755 → 364,174 wallets
10%: 705,509 → 728,349 wallets
RiskTake notes that this consolidation aligns with shrinking XRP exchange reserves, hinting at tightening supply and reduced liquidity available to the public.
⭐ Retail Under Pressure as Supply Shrinks
Retail holders typically pull back when volatility spikes.
Whales do the opposite — they accumulate aggressively.
Combined data now shows:
Retail holds a smaller share of total XRP supply.
Whale wallets are expanding in volume and number.
Exchange balances continue declining, increasing scarcity.
The next rich list update will reveal whether this is just the beginning of a much larger concentration trend.
