XRP Addresses Holding 1 Million Coins Reach 2,147, Highest Level in 2026
Key Facts
The number of addresses holding at least 1 million XRP reached 2,147, the highest level in 2026, according to a report published by TokenPost on November 4. The figure points to a broader group of large-balance addresses on the network, but does not identify their owners. In early November, these addresses represented about 0.03% of nearly 8.3 million funded accounts on the XRP Ledger. TokenPost said the measure tracks wallets above the balance threshold but does not reveal their owners or prove that institutions control them. The figure therefore reflects the distribution of balances across network addresses and is not, on its own, sufficient to establish institutional buying.
The network also saw wallet creation activity as the number of large addresses rose. TokenPost cited Santiment as saying the network added 7,934 wallets on November 1. That was the sixth-highest daily total recorded in 2026, according to the report. The figure comes amid an increase in funded accounts on the network, but measures new wallets rather than the amount deposited in them. The number of wallets added alone does not show whether the activity came from new users or from balances being split across multiple addresses.
Earlier data cited by TokenPost show that growth in addresses holding at least 1 million XRP has not always coincided with an increase in the token’s market capitalization. In the three months ended in August, the number of such addresses rose by 32. Over the same period, XRP’s market capitalization fell 29%. The comparison puts address growth in the broader context of price movements without establishing a causal link between the two measures. The period also ended in August, providing earlier context for the current reading recorded in November.
On investment products, global net inflows to XRP-linked exchange-traded products rose 39.6% in the third quarter of 2026 from the second quarter, to $355.3 million, according to a Blockworks report. Assets under management also increased to $3.32 billion, from $2.01 billion in the previous quarter. These figures offer a separate indication of investor flows into exchange-traded products and do not identify the owners of addresses on the network. They also cover the third quarter and do not measure flows on the days when the number of million-XRP addresses peaked. The data thus trace two distinct forms of activity: investment products and address balances.
In its disclosure for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, Ripple said it held 36,809,481,946 XRP. It said 31,700,000,000 XRP was in escrow, while total XRP distributed stood at 63,176,123,712. These figures show how much the company held, placed in escrow and distributed as of that date. They relate to Ripple’s disclosure of its holdings and do not establish whether the addresses holding 1 million XRP belong to the company or other institutions. Ripple said the XRP Ledger has processed more than 4 billion transactions since 2012 and transferred more than $1.7 trillion between parties.
XRP’s price fell after closing at 1.3052 dollars on November 4. It closed at 1.0989 dollars on November 9, according to EL7 data. In the November 6 session, the token fell 10.02% to 1.1817 dollars, its biggest daily percentage loss since February 5, according to Investing.com. The price movement points to weaker trading during the same November days when the large-address figure drew attention. These prices do not prove that a change in the number of addresses caused or resulted from the decline.
