XRP whales have significantly increased their holdings, adding over 4.18 billion tokens since the market crash on October 10, 2025. Despite XRP's 50% price drop from its opening price of $2.8 on that day, large holders with balances between 10 million and 1 billion tokens have capitalized on the dip, now controlling 19.61 billion XRP, or 32% of the circulating supply. This marks their largest combined balance in history. Data from Santiment highlights that wallets holding 10 million to 100 million XRP contributed the most to this accumulation, adding 2.88 billion tokens. In contrast, smaller whales and shark addresses have offloaded 2.87 billion XRP since the crash, reducing their holdings to 10.1 billion tokens. The broader crypto market, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, has also faced sustained bearish pressure since the October downturn.
