[DigitalToday reporter Yoonseo Lee (이윤서)] The threshold to join the top 10 percent of wallets by XRP holdings has fallen to 2,155.59 XRP.

On June 10 (local time), blockchain outlet The Crypto Basic reported that XRP prices have recently moved sideways, but the amount needed to enter the network's top-holder bracket continues to decline.

The XRP Ledger currently has 7.91 million accounts. Of those, only 790,900 wallets hold 2,155.59 XRP or more. At an XRP price of $1.11, the amount needed to enter the top 10 percent is about $2,392. Jack Lector (잭 렉터) and Adam (아담), among figures in the XRP community, also took note of the falling threshold.

Thresholds rise quickly in higher brackets. To enter the top 5 percent requires about 7,507 XRP, while the top 1 percent requires 45,002 XRP. The entry line for the top 0.1 percent exceeds 279,000 XRP. The number of wallets meeting each threshold is 395,450 for the top 5 percent, 79,090 for the top 1 percent and 7,909 for the top 0.1 percent.

The barrier for the very top is higher. Only wallets holding 3.83 million XRP or more fall into the top 0.01 percent. Just 791 wallets are in this bracket, again confirming a structure in which holdings are concentrated in a small number of wallets compared with the total number of accounts.

These thresholds are generally lower than in February. At the time, the entry line for the top 10 percent was about 2,231 XRP, but it is now around 2,155 XRP, down 3.4 percent. The top 5 percent threshold also fell to 7,507 XRP from 7,745 XRP, and the top 1 percent threshold declined to 45,002 XRP from 46,426 XRP.

This shift comes as crypto prices have weakened recently. XRP fell to $1.05 on June 6, then rebounded above $1.18 on June 9, before pulling back to around $1.11. Investors have also discussed a move to treat the recent weakness as a buying opportunity and lift their ranking on the rich list.

Some market analysts saw XRP heading toward $10. If that outlook becomes reality, the asset value of an investor holding 2,155 XRP, the current top 10 percent threshold, would rise to $21,550. Such forecasts are only estimates, and an actual rise is not guaranteed.

Still, it is difficult to conclude XRP's future price direction based only on these threshold changes. A lower barrier to enter the top-holder bracket may draw market attention, but actual price moves are likely to vary depending on overall crypto market sentiment, a recovery in demand and exchange inflow and outflow trends.
