 <p class="paragraph">XRP Ledger’s (XRP) key adoption metrics are showing a strong momentum for Ripple’s cryptocurrency. From a demand perspective, the XRP market capitalization has increased by more than $12 billion year-to-date, for an impressive 73% growth in 2023.</p>
 <div></div>
 <p class="paragraph">Similarly, the number of crypto wallet addresses holding at least 1 XRP ($0.55). Finbold filtered on-chain data from <em>Santiment</em> on October 27, which shows 4.82 million addresses own 1 XRP or more.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">It is important to say that XRP Ledger is a pseudonymous network, and one single individual can control multiple addresses without a known link between them. Therefore, it is factually impossible at the moment to know how many <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="people" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/people.html">people</a> own XRP.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the retrieved data’s first register is from December 6, 2012, with a single XRP wallet owned by Ripple. This indicates an average growth of 438,180 per year in the last 11 years.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">It is also notable that the pace of new wallet creation was comparatively slow until 2018 when we can observe a surge in the chart that continues steadily until 2021 for a meaningful hike leading to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="current" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/current.html">current</a> 4.82 million addresses who own XRP.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, if we considered the number of addresses as the XRP population, the number of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="people" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/people.html">people</a> who own at least 1 XRP would be equal to capital cities such as Kabul in Afghanistan, with around 4.6 million population.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">This XRP population holds around $29.48 billion in value considering XRP Ledger capitalization by press time, which is around $15 billion dollars higher than the $14.79 billion GDP of the whole of Afghanistan.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">However, this capital is concentrated in an even smaller number of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="people" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/people.html">people</a> who own XRP. It is well-known that one single entity usually owns more than one wallet address.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Besides that, data from <em>CoinCarp</em> indicates that the top 10 addresses own more than 11% of the entire supply available of XRP for approximately $3.24 billion worth of tokens. Top owners are distributed among Ripple and cryptocurrency exchanges.</p>
