U.Today - The portal presented an update on the richest XRP holding accounts, adding the ability to filter and select. For this occasion, let's look at who holds billions and millions of XRP in their wallets. According to the data presented, the number of active accounts has now reached the 4.56 million mark.
Looking at the top five, there are few surprises. and Binance share the top spot, with combined stakes of 3.73 billion XRP and 2.32 billion XRP, respectively. Nevertheless, an unidentified address managed to squeeze in between them, with a balance of almost 1.38 billion XRP. Other such unidentified addresses are nowhere near as large. The closest one is in sixth place and stores only 770 million XRP.
The interesting thing is that all of the spots 15 through 24 at the top went to the largest South Korean exchange, . Each of its addresses holds 500 million tokens, that is, 5 billion XRP in the aggregate. Previously, U.Today reported on the abnormal trading of XRP on Korean exchanges, and Upbit in particular.
