As XRP continues its recovery above $3, prominent community figure JackTheRippler (@RippleXrpie) has shared an updated XRP ranking ladder, categorizing XRP holders based on the number of tokens they own.

The classification, posted on X, outlines ten levels, ranging from “Worm” at the lowest tier to “Big Whale” at the top.

The New #XRP Ranking Ladder:

🐋 Big Whale = +50,000 XRP
🐳 Whale = +25,000 XRP
🦈 Shark = +10,000 XRP
🐬 Dolphin = +5,000 XRP
🐟 Fish = +2,500 XRP
🐙 Octopus = +1,000 XRP
🦀 Crab = +250 XRP
🦐 Shrimp = +100 XRP
🪱 Worm = + 1 XRP

The rankings provide an informal snapshot of wallet stratification within the XRP ecosystem. It assigns symbolic creatures to different wallet sizes, beginning with the smallest level, “Worm,” representing just 1 XRP, and topping out with “Big Whale,” denoting ownership of 50,000 XRP or more.

The term whale is often used to refer to the largest investors in the market, but JackTheRippler splits this category into two sections. With XRP trading at $3.08 at the time of the post, the Big Whale position carries a minimum market value of $154,000. The next category, labeled “Whale,” corresponds to 25,000 XRP, or approximately $77,000 in value.

Tiers in the Ranking Ladder

The ladder narrows sharply between categories. “Shark” holders possess 10,000 XRP, valued at $30,800, while “Dolphin” wallets contain 5,000 XRP, equal to $15,400. From there, the levels fall to “Fish” at 2,500 XRP ($7,700), “Octopus” at 1,000 XRP ($3,080), and “Crab” at 250 XRP ($770). Smaller holders are designated as “Shrimp” with 100 XRP ($308) and “Worm” at the bottom with a single XRP worth just $3.08.

The scale highlights the disparity in XRP accumulation across wallets. It also adds context to discussions around liquidity and market behavior, particularly as XRP attempts to reclaim and consolidate gains above $3 following its brief dip below that psychological threshold.

Joining the Top Ranks of XRP Holders

Although the ranking ladder isn’t tied to any official XRP mechanism, it carries relevance for understanding the market structure itself. By assigning clear XRP amounts to each tier, it offers a straightforward reference point for holders to gauge their relative position.

However, a recent analysis of the XRP rich list revealed that market participants need a much more substantial investment to join the top ranks of token holders. To join the top 1%, investors would need 50,637.37 XRP, which sits slightly above the minimum threshold for Big Whales.

Climbing further, investors will need over 359,000 tokens to join the top 0.1%, and over 5.73 million tokens to join the top 0.01%. The latest data shows that only 663 wallets are in this exclusive club, but with whale accumulation on the rise, more wallets may soon join the top ranks.
