XRP remains one of the most closely watched cryptocurrencies, as the asset has shown remarkable resilience and proven it deserves its spot near the top of the market. With XRP recovering from a market downturn, Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy, recently categorized XRP holders into tiers to help understand the market better.
Farina categorized XRP holders based on their balances, from the highest-level “Big Whales” to the smallest-tier “Worms.” Based on the latest data, we analyze the distribution of accounts and their estimated value at $2.54 per XRP.

The Majority of Accounts: From Crabs to Worms
“Crabs” hold between 100 and 500 XRP. While the XRP rich list doesn’t perfectly define this category, the closest are wallet holders with between 20 and 500 XRP, with 2,504,188 wallets in this category. These investors control holdings valued between $50.8 and $1,270.
At the lower end of the scale, “Shrimps” hold between 50 and 100 XRP, and “Worms” hold between 10 and 50 XRP. The final category from the XRP rich lists combines all wallets with a maximum of 20 XRP, which adds up to 2,501,726.
How to Gain The Most From XRP
XRP has more potential than most of its competitors, and Farina recently called on all investors to hold at least 1,000 XRP , describing anything less than that as insanity. While a large concentration of tokens is with the biggest holders, retail investors can still get in before the asset’s price rises.
