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.
