XRP Holders Rise Rapidly To Hit A New All-Time High, Will Price Follow?

XRP has spent much of 2026 fighting to regain stronger bullish momentum, but its on-chain picture is telling a different story from the price chart. Many large wallets are not leaving the network. They are adding to it.

The chart shared by Santiment shows the 10,000+ XRP wallet cohort rising almost consistently from late 2025 into May 2026. However, the most severe test of that trend came in early February. 

However, the wallet count subsequently recovered in the second half of February and has been on an uptrend since then. Now, the number of large XRP holders has broken past its January peak and is at a new high of 332,230 addresses.

The current most important breakout zones are around $1.52 and $1.54. A successful daily close above $1.54 could validate a bullish breakout on the shorter timeframes, while a close above $1.60 will validate a bullish breakout on larger timeframes.
