ZachXBT: Ripple still holds 2.7 billion XRP, equivalent to approximately 7.18 billion US dollars
Crypto detective ZachXBT pointed out that XRP addresses related to Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen still hold over 2.7 billion XRPs (approximately $7.18 billion). Some of these addresses transferred XRP worth over $109 million to the exchange in January 2025. ZachXBT also listed these addresses and mentioned that some of them had not been traded for 6 to 7 years, possibly due to Chris Larsen losing access or funds being transferred to others in February 2013. In addition, he mentioned that Chris Larsen was hacked last year, resulting in losses of up to $112 million.
