With Donald Trump naming XRP in the U.S. national digital asset reserve, this article highlights how many tokens one needs to enter the list of wealthiest XRP holders.
President Donald Trump kept to his campaign promise by ordering the creation of a national digital asset strategic reserve featuring multiple crypto, including XRP.
Expectedly, the inclusion of XRP in the U.S. national digital asset reserve has attracted the attention of crypto investors. As a result, many investors are seeking to join the ranks of the top XRP holders. Amid this growing interest, The Crypto Basic has highlighted how much XRP investors must own today to rank in the coin’s rich list.
XRP Rich List
For context, there are 6,228,153 (6.22 million) XRP holders globally, with only a few meeting the minimum requirement to enter the rich list.
Top 10% Largest XRP Holders
An investor must own at least 2,504 XRP coins to join the lowest tier. This reflects a slight increase from last month’s threshold of 2,501 XRP.
At the current price of $2.75, it costs about $6,886 to acquire 2,504 XRP and rank among the coin’s wealthiest holders. Owning 2,504 XRP automatically places an investor among the top 10% of the largest XRP holders.
At the moment, only 622,815 addresses hold a minimum of 2,504 XRP, according to data from Rich-List.info. It bears mentioning that the number of addresses that met the minimum threshold has surged by 18.94% since August 2024, when the figure stood at 523,615.

In addition, ranking among the top 5% largest XRP holders requires a minimum holding of 9,101 XRP, currently valued at $25,027.
As of last month, investors were required to own a minimum of 9,122 XRP to rank among the top 5% largest XRP holders. There are only 311,408 addresses in this category, each holding a minimum of 9,101 XRP.
Furthermore, investors who need to elevate their status in the list and rank among the top 1% of XRP’s largest holders would require a minimum of 52,991 XRP. This represents a slight drop of 0.41% from the threshold of 53,212 XRP set last month.
Acquiring the 52,991 XRP costs about $145,725 today. Only 62,282 addresses meet this requirement, placing them among the top largest XRP holders.
Meanwhile, to enter the exclusive top-tier spot on the rich list, investors must own a minimum of 5,782,215 (5.78 million) XRP. At the current price of $2.75, acquiring these coins would cost about $15.9 million.
Prior to XRP’s November 2024 rally, investors could have acquired the 5.78 million XRP for $2.89 million when XRP traded at around $0.5 per coin. Based on the hefty capital requirement, only 623 addresses are in this category.
Joining the XRP rich list could be challenging for some investors, given the recent spike in XRP’s price. Notably, Edo Farina, founder of Alpha Lion Academy, recommends that investors leverage the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy to grow their XRP holdings.
