The number of XRP holders has reached a new record, totaling 8.24 million, according to data from Santiment. This consistent growth persists despite recent months of price volatility. Over a single day, the network saw an addition of 4,772 new wallets—its fifth-largest increase since March. Analysts suggest that if XRP’s price remains above $1.40 and daily new wallet creation stays at or above 4,000, a rapid return to $1.50 appears probable. Conversely, should the price dip below $1.30 alongside a decline in new wallets to roughly 3,000, perceptions of adoption momentum may weaken in the near term.
