Crypto commentator John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) posted a ranking system to his X account this week, inviting XRP holders to self-identify by the size of their holdings. The post came at a notable moment. The CLARITY Act sits in the pipeline, and the XRP community is paying attention. Squire outlined six tiers. Big Whales sit at the top, requiring 100,000 XRP or more. Below that, Whales start at 50,000 XRP, followed by Sharks at 10,000, Dolphins at 5,000, Fish at 1,000, and Octopuses at 500 XRP. #XRP Holder Ranking Before the CLARITY Act Is Approved! Big Whale = 100K+ XRP Whale = 50K+ XRP Shark = 10K+ XRP Dolphin = 5K+ XRP Fish = 1K+ XRP Octopus = 500+ XRP Drop your rank below! — John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) April 9, 2026 What Each Rank Costs at Current Prices XRP trades at $1.36, with minimal movement over the past 24 hours. At that price, the tiers carry real dollar values worth noting. Entry-level ranks stay accessible. An Octopus position starts at $680. Many experts have advised investors to hold at least 1,000 XRP , and attaining Fish status today costs $1,360. Things escalate quickly from there. Dolphin requires $6,800, and a Shark position runs $13,600. The upper tiers represent serious capital. Reaching Whale status means committing at least $68,000 to XRP, and the Big Whale level starts at $136,000, placing investors among the upper echelon of token holders . The numbers put the community’s conviction in clear financial terms. Why the Timing Matters The CLARITY Act aims to establish clear definitions for digital assets in U.S. law. It addresses a long-standing issue in the crypto space: the lack of a consistent regulatory standard for determining whether a token qualifies as a security or a commodity. XRP holders have a direct interest in that outcome given Ripple’s history with the SEC.

Squire’s post taps into that awareness. Many community members are gearing up for massive gains, and Squire’s post functions as a community check-in at a moment when many holders are weighing their positions. Outlook for XRP and the Community At $1.36, XRP remains accessible to retail investors at the lower tiers. Multiple sharks and whales were in the comments, and many community members are eager to increase their holdings and join these higher ranks. The Octopus and Fish levels sit within reach for many individual buyers. The higher tiers require more commitment, but could bring substantial profit once XRP starts climbing after the CLARITY Act passes.
