XRP Whales Add 1.23B Tokens Amid Price Slump

XRP's large holders have continued to build their positions despite the token's 43% price slump this year. According to Santiment, wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP have accumulated an additional 1.23 billion XRP since January 2026.

This brings their total holdings to 12.2 billion XRP, up from 10.97 billion at the start of the year. The buying activity began before this year, with a notable surge in November 2025, when large holders expanded their supply by 2.4 billion XRP.

The value of the accumulated tokens is approximately $1.279 billion at current prices. However, if XRP reaches its previous record high of $3.66, those holdings would be worth around $4.5 billion.
