On-chain data indicates that multiple XRPL wallets have remained dormant, holding on to what appears to be their reserve XRP despite recent changes. Notably, Dr. Artur Kirjakulov, co-founder and CEO of XRPL resource XPMarket, called attention to this stat in a recent disclosure, triggering questions among market participants.  592,818 XRPL Wallets Hold 10 XRP Data from XRPL Stats, an XRPL-native analytics platform, confirms the disclosure. According to XRPL Stats, there are about 6,991,542 XRPL wallets at press time. Interestingly, this shows an impressive increase in the number of wallets on the network, which stood at 5,815,583 as of Dec. 31, 2024. XRPL Wallets XRPLStatsXRPL Wallets | XRPL Stats The current figure indicates that the XRP Ledger has welcomed over 1.175 million wallets so far this year, marking a growth rate that has outpaced previous periods. Notably, the mainstream adoption of XRP this year, involving multiple ETF filings, rising company treasuries, and inclusion in the U.S. crypto stockpile, has contributed to this wallet growth. Meanwhile, of the current 6.991 million figure, data shows that exactly 592,818 XRPL wallets, representing 8.47% of the total, hold 10 XRP each as their balance. This represents the mode balance, which translates to the most common balance occurring on the network. According to Kirjakulov, this unusual shared balance across nearly 600,000 wallets indicates that most of these wallets have remained dormant over the years. Specifically, this could suggest that network participants activated these XRPL wallets with the previous reserve fee and abandoned or kept them aside. XRPL Reserve Fee For context, the XRPL demands a minimum reserve balance for activating accounts, a measure for curbing spam. Originally, this figure was 20 XRP, but it dropped to 10 XRP in September 2021. However, amid the rise in XRP's price from November 2024, validators voted to reduce the fee to 1 XRP by December 2024. Nonetheless, most of the nearly 600,000 XRPL wallets holding 10 XRP likely sprang up before December 2024, when the reserve fee stood at 10 XRP. If the owners of these wallets revisit them, they could withdraw 9 XRP, currently worth $25.47, leaving the new 1 XRP reserve fee. Meanwhile, Kirjakulov revealed that the next mode balance sits at 20 XRP, representing the original reserve fee. Specifically, around 560,000 XRPL wallets hold 20 XRP, which may have been activated before September 2021, when the account reserve demanded a minimum of 20 XRP tokens. Besides this, the XRPL also features other interesting stats. Notably, the 6.991 million wallets hold a total of 64.72 billion XRP, with the highest single balance standing at 1.69 billion XRP. Further, of this figure, 33,311, representing about 0.48%, are large holders. Meanwhile, the mean balance stands at 9,263 XRP.On-chain data indicates that multiple XRPL wallets have remained dormant, holding on to what appears to be their reserve XRP despite recent changes.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
