📊 XRP Holder Landscape
**~6.6 million XRP wallets** exist on the network, but only around 1 million unique, active holders—many wallets are duplicates, used for exchanges, cold storage, or inactive addresses .
Major players hold the bulk:
2,742 wallets each contain over 1 million XRP, collectively controlling approximately 47.3 billion XRP, or about half of the total supply .
Ripple itself and top wallets control roughly 46%, and the top 10 wallets possess about 41% of circulating supply .
Implication: The supply remains highly centralized. Institutional and whale accumulation often precede significant price actions, meaning a relatively small number of holders can influence price and liquidity significantly.
