January 15 News, as XRP price continues to rebound from its recent lows, the on-chain fund structure is undergoing significant changes. The latest on-chain data shows that since mid-December 2025, the XRP whale list has added over 25,000 wallet addresses, reflecting a gradual restoration of investor confidence and retail funds flowing back into the XRP ecosystem.
The data comes from community-driven XRPL on-chain statistical resources. Since December 17, 2025, the XRP whale list has added 25,617 addresses, setting a new monthly growth record. This growth is not concentrated in a single tier but spans all address ranges from the top 0.1% to the top 10%, indicating that funds of various sizes are increasing their holdings or entering the market anew.
Structurally, the largest contribution to growth comes from the top 10% of addresses, with 9,924 new wallets added in the month, showing that small and medium holders are more active during this price recovery. The number of addresses in the top 5% and top 4% also increased by 4,962 and 3,970 respectively. In contrast, changes among the top-tier addresses are relatively limited, with 100 and 11 new wallets in the top 0.01% and top 0.1%, respectively, closely related to their high holding thresholds.
Alongside the expansion of the whale list, the total number of XRP wallets is also growing. Data shows that the total number of wallets holding XRP has increased from 7.41 million to over 7.51 million, with approximately 99,000 new addresses added in just the past month. Since July 2024, the XRP ledger has added over 2.2 million new wallets, indicating a sustained increase in long-term user base.
In terms of price performance, since the low of $1.84 on December 17, 2025, XRP has rebounded by about 14%, with the current price stabilizing around $2.1. The simultaneous rise in wallet numbers and price has strengthened market confidence in XRP holding the critical $2 support level.
From a market perspective, the growth in address numbers generally indicates an expanding demand base, which helps alleviate selling pressure and enhances price resilience. Against the backdrop of a gradually recovering overall crypto market, the improvement in on-chain data for XRP is providing a more solid structural support for its subsequent trend.
