Crypto influencer John Squire recently shared updated figures on the XRP wealth distribution, highlighting how much XRP holdings are required to be placed within the top tiers of accounts.
His post presented an updated breakdown, noting that an account with 2,397 XRP already qualifies within the top 10 percent, while holdings of 8,370 XRP secure placement in the top 5%.
According to the data, accounts with 50,026 XRP fall into the elite 1 percent, while those holding 350,492 XRP or more are within the top 0.1 percent. At the very peak, only 0.01 percent of accounts hold balances starting at more than 6.6 million XRP.
Squire emphasized that contrary to perceptions of being late to accumulation, many XRP holders are already ahead of the majority of accounts. His message suggested that the distribution data provides a different perspective on how concentrated XRP holdings are across the network.
Historical Comparison and User Commentary
Kashta questioned whether this change reflected significant selling from top accounts or simply redistribution across wallets, while adding that they were still actively accumulating XRP.
Kashta also speculated about the possibility of becoming part of the 0.01 percent category, while raising concerns about the risks of becoming a long-term holder without comparable returns.
According to VanceGG, this practice could mean that the actual thresholds to enter each bracket are higher than reported, potentially requiring three to five times the stated amounts.
He illustrated this by suggesting that the 0.01 percent category may realistically represent balances closer to 900,000 to 1.5 million XRP when considering distributed ownership.
Implications of Wealth Concentration
The updated figures underline the high level of concentration among the largest XRP accounts, with fewer than 700 accounts holding over 6.6 million XRP each. This concentration raises important considerations about liquidity, market influence, and the potential impact of large account movements on price stability.
The downward adjustment in required balances for top-tier rankings, when compared to previous years, also highlights evolving dynamics in distribution patterns and investor behavior.
At the same time, the thresholds reinforce the idea that many smaller investors may be closer to higher tiers than they initially assume. For example, an account with 10,000 XRP, while modest by comparison to the largest holders, places the account within the top 4 percent of all wallets.
Such statistics contribute to ongoing debates about accessibility, accumulation strategies, and the long-term positioning of retail investors within the XRP ecosystem.
John Squire’s update on XRP wealth distribution provided a data-driven snapshot of the current state of account balances on the network. With just 2,397 XRP required to enter the top 10 percent, the information suggested that many holders are positioned more strongly than they realize.
However, the commentary from users also highlighted important nuances, such as the historical decline in top 1 percent thresholds and the impact of multiple-wallet ownership.
