The XRP Ledger is on the brink of a significant milestone, with the number of accounts approaching the 5 million mark, currently standing at an impressive 4.78 million.
According to data provided by XRPL Services, these accounts collectively hold a substantial 58.682 billion XRP, which accounts for 58.68% of the total token supply.
What stands out prominently in this flourishing XRP ecosystem is the remarkable fact that out of these millions of accounts, a mere 1,115 of them show a zero balance.
This indicates that the vast majority of XRP accounts are actively engaged, whether they are holding XRP as account reserves or owner reserves.
It’s important to note that this count specifically refers to the number of XRP holders within the XRPL blockchain itself, excluding various wrapped variations and accounts on centralized exchanges.
For instance, decentralized platforms offer approximately 17.2 trillion tokens. The remaining digital assets, approximately 41.3 billion XRP, are securely held in Ripple’s escrow accounts.
Notably, these holdings are managed in strict compliance with established regulations, with the goal of reducing their size. Presently, there are 10,141 such escrow accounts in operation.
