The near-attainment of the previous all-time high in the number of large XRP holders further reinforces the positive sentiment surrounding the asset.
Comparing the current scenario to historical milestones, it’s noteworthy that XRP wallets holding 1 million or more coins reached their peak on June 17, 2023, with a count of 2,014.
