On-chain data indicates that multiple XRPL wallets have remained dormant, holding on to what appears to be their reserve XRP despite recent changes. Notably, Dr. Artur Kirjakulov, co-founder and CEO of XRPL resource XPMarket, called attention to this stat in a recent disclosure, triggering questions among market participants.  592,818 XRPL Wallets Hold 10 XRP Data from XRPL Stats, an XRPL-native analytics platform, confirms the disclosure. According to XRPL Stats, there are about 6,991,542 XRPL wallets at press time. Interestingly, this shows an impressive increase in the number of wallets on the network, which stood at 5,815,583 as of Dec. 31, 2024. XRPL Wallets XRPLStatsXRPL Wallets | XRPL Stats The current figure indicates that the XRP Ledger has welcomed over 1.175 million wallets so far this year, marking a growth rate that has outpaced previous periods. Notably, the mainstream adoption of XRP this year, involving multiple ETF filings, rising company treasuries, and inclusion in the U.S. crypto stockpile, has contributed to this wallet growth. Meanwhile, of the current 6.991 million figure, data shows that exactly 592,818 XRPL wallets, representing 8.47% of the total, hold 10 XRP each as their balance. This represents the mode balance, which translates to the most common balance occurring on the network. According to Kirjakulov, this unusual shared balance across nearly 600,000 wallets indicates that most of these wallets have remained dormant over the years. Specifically, this could suggest that network participants activated these XRPL wallets with the previous reserve fee and abandoned or kept them aside. XRPL Reserve Fee For context, the XRPL demands a minimum reserve balance for activating accounts, a measure for curbing spam. Originally, this figure was 20 XRP, but it dropped to 10 XRP in September 2021. However, amid the rise in XRP's price from November 2024, validators voted to reduce the fee to 1 XRP by December 2024. Nonetheless, most of the nearly 600,000 XRPL wallets holding 10 XRP likely sprang up before December 2024, when the reserve fee stood at 10 XRP. If the owners of these wallets revisit them, they could withdraw 9 XRP, currently worth $25.47, leaving the new 1 XRP reserve fee. Meanwhile, Kirjakulov revealed that the next mode balance sits at 20 XRP, representing the original reserve fee. Specifically, around 560,000 XRPL wallets hold 20 XRP, which may have been activated before September 2021, when the account reserve demanded a minimum of 20 XRP tokens. Besides this, the XRPL also features other interesting stats. Notably, the 6.991 million wallets hold a total of 64.72 billion XRP, with the highest single balance standing at 1.69 billion XRP. Further, of this figure, 33,311, representing about 0.48%, are large holders.

Crypto News of the Week (Oct 23–30, 2025)

🚀 Market Moves The crypto market showed renewed optimism this week as global risk appetite improved. Bitcoin climbed above 115 000 USD and Ethereum approached 4 200 USD after easing US-China trade tensions and growing expectations of another Federal Reserve rate cut. The total market capitalisation returned to around 4 trillion USD, with altcoins also moving higher. 🏛️ Regulatory and Political Developments In the United States, lawmakers introduced a new bill aiming to ban elected officials and their families from owning or trading cryptocurrencies, citing ethical and transparency concerns. In Europe, the EU approved its 19th package of sanctions against Russia, which for the first time directly targets Russian crypto-exchanges and payment service providers suspected of helping to bypass restrictions. Meanwhile, the White House announced plans to nominate crypto-friendly lawyer Mike Selig as the new chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 🧠 Fun Crypto Fact Gold dropped by about 10% within just six days — one of the sharpest short-term moves in years. Historically, when gold corrects this fast, it tends to rebound by around 8% within two months. Analysts note that such turbulence in precious metals often shifts investor attention back toward bitcoin as an alternative store of value. ✅ Takeaway for NordFX clients The market remains in a consolidation phase, with regulation and geopolitics now having stronger influence than pure price momentum. The latest US-China trade thaw and expectations of easier monetary policy could provide short-term support, but political decisions are likely to remain the key driver. Stay tuned — next week will bring new data on ETF flows, US inflation, and further regulatory developments that could set the tone for November. 📊 Crypto News of the Week (Oct 23–30, 2025) 📉 was originally published in Coinmonks on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story
