XRP million-token wallets hit 2,147, their highest count of 2026

XRP's big-holder club is swelling. Wallets holding at least 1 million tokens climbed to 2,147, the highest count seen so far in 2026, according to on-chain tracker Santiment. The milestone came fast: 28 new wallets crossed that threshold in just 10 days.

Cointelegraph, which flagged the data on X, called the move bullish. The outlet attributed the numbers directly to Santiment, which monitors blockchain wallet activity rather than price action.

The metric matters because million-token wallets are the closest thing crypto has to a whale sighting. When that count climbs, it suggests larger players are building positions — or at least that smaller holders are graduating into the big leagues. Neither Santiment nor Cointelegraph said which.

Worth remembering: a wallet count is not a headcount. One address can represent a single investor, an exchange's cold storage or a fund, so the 2,147 figure tracks storage points, not necessarily 2,147 separate people. It's one signal among many, not a verdict.

What happens next is a waiting game. If the additions keep coming at this pace, 2026's record could look modest within weeks — and holders will be watching whether the accumulation shows up anywhere else.
