XRP Ledger Holder Count Reaches All-Time High of 8.24 Million Amid Price Weakness Near $1.30
Key Takeaways
- •Santiment Intelligence reported on October 22, 2026 that the number of XRP Ledger addresses holding a non-zero balance had reached an all-time high of 8.24 million.
- •The record holder count occurred while XRP traded near $1.30, producing a gap between record on-chain participation and subdued market pricing that analysts routinely track.
- •XRP is the native asset of the XRP Ledger, a decentralized blockchain launched in 2012, and Santiment tracks on-chain, development, and social metrics across major cryptocurrency networks.
- •Because blockchain addresses are pseudonymous, wallet counts measure distinct addresses rather than verified individuals, and a single participant may control several wallets, including some with only minimal amounts.
- •Upcoming Santiment updates to the ledger's address count will indicate whether the 8.24 million level signals continued growth or a plateau, offering a participation measure independent of XRP's daily price movement.
XRP Ledger Holder Count Reaches All-Time High of 8.24 Million Amid Price Weakness Near $1.30
The number of non-empty wallets on the XRP Ledger has climbed to a new all-time high of 8.24 million, according to data published by Santiment Intelligence on October 22, 2026.
The record in holder count comes amid price weakness for XRP, which is trading near $1.30. That combination — participation measured on the ledger setting records while the token's market price remains subdued — is the kind of divergence between on-chain adoption data and market pricing that analysts routinely track, since the two signals do not always move in tandem.
XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, a decentralized blockchain that launched in 2012. Santiment, the analytics platform that published the figures, tracks on-chain, development, and social metrics across major cryptocurrency networks.
Wallet-count measurements are a widely used on-chain indicator of network participation, as they capture the number of addresses holding a non-zero balance of an asset. Because blockchain addresses are pseudonymous, the figure counts distinct addresses rather than verified individuals, and a single participant can control multiple wallets. Such counts can also include addresses holding only minimal amounts, so the metric is generally read alongside other activity data rather than in isolation.
For readers following the metric, subsequent Santiment updates to the ledger's address count will indicate whether the 8.24 million level marks a continuing climb or a plateau, offering a checkpoint on network participation that is separate from XRP's day-to-day price movement.
