The number of XRP wallets holding at least 1 million tokens has climbed to 2,147, the highest count of 2026, according to the data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment.
The group has added 28 wallets in 10 days, including 18 in the last three days alone.
“XRP now has 2,147 wallets holding at least 1M tokens, the highest count of 2026. That group has grown by 28 wallets in just 10 days, including 18 additions to the +1M+ ’XRP Holders Club’ in the past 3 days alone,” the firm wrote in the X post.

Santiment called the growth encouraging. Large holders tend to have longer time horizons than short-term traders, it said, and more of them appearing during price weakness suggests big balances are being built rather than sold off.The count does not show whether the new wallets belong to fresh buyers or to existing holders splitting their coins.
Santiment said the long-term setup stays constructive if XRP holds roughly $1.20 to $1.25 while the 1M+ wallet count stays above 2,140.
A reclaim of $1.30, followed by $1.40, while large-wallet numbers keep rising would give stronger confirmation that accumulation is backing each price move.
“A reclaim of psychological supports of $1.30, followed by $1.40, while large-wallet numbers keep rising would provide much stronger confirmation that accumulation is confirming every price rise,” the firm shared.
Analyst Ali Charts, citing Santiment data, posted on X, that XRP exchange outflows spiked around 01:00 UTC. Roughly 13.24 million XRP were withdrawn from exchanges, which could reduce the supply immediately available to sell.
He added that some of the biggest whales have been buying, with their holdings up by roughly 60 million XRP over the past week.
He said he could not tell whether those were the same coins that left exchanges, but that both metrics point to growing interest from large holders.
On the daily chart, he sees XRP forming the right shoulder of a potential inverse head-and-shoulders bottom.
“XRP appears to be forming the right shoulder of a potential inverse head-and-shoulders bottom,” he wrote in his post.
In his post he said that he is watching for a move toward the neckline at $1.60. A break above that resistance would confirm the pattern and put $2.10 in focus.
