New data from the XRP rich list shows that large investors have significantly increased their positions since August, adding more than $7.7 billion worth of the asset during a period marked by declining prices and weakened market confidence. While some market participants reduced exposure during the downturn, the largest holders have steadily grown their balances, indicating a sustained accumulation phase. Whale Activity During a Prolonged Market Decline XRP has been under persistent selling pressure since mid-July 2025, following its peak price of $3.66. The asset has continued to record lower highs for three consecutive months, and its current valuation of $1.89 reflects a 48% decline from its July high. This extended drawdown has contributed to a largely negative sentiment among retail investors. However, on-chain metrics reveal that substantial holders have adopted a markedly different approach. Instead of reducing their exposure, many of the largest wallets have expanded their positions during the price drop. Data compiled from the community-maintained rich list indicates broad-based accumulation among major holders, with particularly strong activity among accounts holding tens or hundreds of millions of tokens. Increase in Balances Among Large XRP Whales Wallets containing between 20 million and 500 million XRP tokens have shown the most pronounced growth. When these wallet segments were last reviewed on August 21, they collectively held 17.378 billion tokens, representing more than a quarter of the circulating supply at that time. Within that group, 159 addresses held between 20 million and 100 million XRP, with a combined balance of 6.315 billion tokens. Another 55 addresses contained between 100 million and 500 million XRP, accounting for 11.063 billion XRP. Current figures show notable expansion. There are now 215 wallets in the 20–100 million XRP category, and their total holdings have risen to 10.021 billion. This increase amounts to 3.706 billion additional XRP, valued at approximately $7.11 billion based on the prevailing price. Balances in the 100–500 million XRP bracket have also risen. While the number of wallets in this group has not changed, their collective holdings now stand at 11.385 billion XRP. This reflects an increase of 364 million tokens, equivalent to roughly $698 million at current market rates.

As a result, they currently control approximately 21.406 billion XRP, accounting for 35.5% of the circulating supply. Accumulation Trends Among Smaller Address Tiers Although the largest wallets show the most dramatic growth, several smaller address groups have also expanded their positions. Holders with 20 to 500 XRP have increased their combined total from 210 million to 215 million XRP. Addresses containing 1,000 to 5,000 XRP collectively added nearly 7 million XRP over the same period. The pattern of accumulation is even more pronounced among mid-sized wallets. Addresses holding between 10,000 and 25,000 XRP have increased their combined balance by more than 113 million XRP in the last quarter. Several other categories between 5,000 and 100,000 XRP have also recorded steady increases, reinforcing the broader trend of accumulation despite prevailing market conditions. While many investor groups have expanded their holdings, not all high-value addresses followed the same trajectory. Wallets containing between 500 million and 1 billion XRP reduced their combined balances by more than 2.1 billion tokens since late August. In contrast, the largest category, wallets with at least 1 billion XRP, has expanded by over 1.5 billion tokens during the same timeframe.
