Santiment says XRP million-token wallets reach 2026 high of 2,147
Blockchain analytics firm Santiment reports that wallets holding at least 1 million XRP rose to 2,147, the highest count of 2026, even as the token's price stayed weak.
Why it matters: Santiment's figures suggest large XRP holders are adding tokens during price weakness, a pattern the firm says needs a price recovery to confirm accumulation.
Key points
- The group added 28 addresses in 10 days, 18 of them in the final three days.
- Santiment says holding $1.20 to $1.25 with more than 2,140 such wallets would keep the setup constructive.
Santiment says XRP million-token wallets have climbed to their highest count of 2026, even as the token's price stays weak. The blockchain analytics firm put the number of addresses holding at least 1 million XRP at 2,147 in a post on X on 3 Nov.
The group grew by 28 wallets over the preceding 10 days, with 18 added in the final three days, according to Santiment. The firm said large holders usually have longer time horizons than short-term traders, and read the growth as a sign that sizeable balances are being built. A similar split appeared in August, when such wallets rose by 32 over three months while XRP's market capitalisation fell 29%.
Santiment's method counts distinct addresses by token balance, so an address crossing the 1 million XRP line lifts the tally and one dropping below it lowers it. Because exchanges often pool customer funds in a few shared accounts, the count cannot show how many individual investors hold that amount.
What to watch: Santiment says stronger confirmation depends on XRP reclaiming $1.30 and then $1.40 while large-wallet numbers keep rising.
