XRP has reached a new all-time high on its network, with 332,230 wallets now holding at least 10,000 XRP, according to Santiment data. The milestone comes even as the token’s price remains well below its previous peaks, renewing discussion about how long-term investors are positioning themselves in Ripple’s asset.
Santiment reports that the number of XRP wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP has been rising for several months, despite broader crypto market turbulence. The platform describes the continued increase in large-wallet addresses as a strong long-term signal.
The trend contrasts with assets that are more closely tied to short-term speculative behavior. Santiment’s data indicates that after the massive liquidations observed during the recent market crash, large XRP holders quickly rebuilt their wallet positions, pointing to resilience among major holders.
Despite the surge in large-wallet counts, XRP’s price has not returned immediately to prior market highs. The token is reported to be trading around $1.45 to $1.50 after recently breaking a multi-month downward resistance.
This divergence between on-chain activity and market pricing is now driving debate among analysts. While the expansion of the XRP Ledger reflects continued network growth, it has not yet translated into clear dominance in global payment infrastructure comparable to traditional networks such as Visa or Mastercard.
Market participants are now focused on whether wallet accumulation can translate into stronger demand. If large-wallet growth continues while the price consolidates, some investors may interpret it as a preparation phase ahead of a larger move. If the price remains stagnant for an extended period, it could raise questions about how quickly Ripple’s crypto adoption is progressing within the broader financial ecosystem.
