Jake Claver, a well-known consultant and business leader, recently shared his thoughts on the current distribution of XRP holders and its future potential.
According to Claver, owning 10,000 XRP places one among the top 5% of holders worldwide. In fact, holding 9,045 XRP would already rank someone in the top 5% on XRP’s rich list, with 313,934 wallets holding over 9,000 XRP tokens.
Meanwhile, owning as little as 2,503 XRP places one in the top 10%. Currently, there are 627,868 XRP addresses holding this amount of XRP tokens.
Claver cited these statistics to highlight the relative scarcity of XRP among holders and the growing potential for those who hold significant amounts.
Notably, the total number of XRP-holding wallets, according to the rich list statistics, is 6.278 million addresses. Only 1% (or 62,787 wallets) hold 52,455 XRP tokens. Wallets with 100,000 or more XRP make up only 0.5% of the holder spectrum.
Claver Predicts XRP as a Global Financial Backbone
Claver went on to assert that big banks are staying silent about XRP’s value and potential because they are actively accumulating it for themselves.
“The big banks are not telling you this. They’re loading up their own XRP portfolio,” he said. He believes that its value will soar when XRP becomes integral to the global financial system.
“Today’s price is nothing,” Claver said, expressing confidence in XRP’s future. His words suggest that those who fail to secure XRP now may regret it in the long run, as he expects it to play a crucial role in global finance.
Notably, XRP is currently worth $2.40 per token. Claver is projecting a future where even small holdings of 10,000 XRP could be life-changing for investors. However, accumulating this quantity demands a substantial commitment of $24,000.
Other community figures like Edo Farina have repeatedly made similar suggestions. In his case, holding 1,000 XRP is sufficient to position oneself for a life-changing opportunity via XRP.
Can 10K XRP Be Life-Changing?
However, not all community members share this perspective. X user Kev, responding to Claver’s post, expressed skepticism about the potential of XRP.
He argued that an XRP price of $10 wouldn’t be life-changing for those holding 10,000 tokens. Notably, at this price, the portfolio would be worth $100,000.
In Kev’s view, for a 10,000 XRP holding to truly impact someone’s life, the price would need to reach much higher levels, such as $100 per token.
However, Kev questioned the likelihood of XRP reaching that level, suggesting that the chances of it happening were low.
If that correct it would explain the desperate hopium
Xrp at $10 isn’t going to be life changing
It would need to be $100 before it might be life changing
What are the chances it gets there
