This increase in retail participation comes as the XRP price hovers around $1.35. Since the downturn began, 77,500 new retail wallets have been added, accumulating over 500 million XRP.Data from Santiment highlights that wallets holding 1,000 to 10,000 XRP now total 806,230, while those with 10,000 to 100,000 XRP stand at 299,360.
