Large XRP Ledge Accounts Asserted: Potential Ties to Ripple Questionable?
A recent surge in activity on the XRP Ledger has raised eyebrows in the XRP community, with the activation of two new accounts each holding 200 million XRP (approximately $1.4 billion) on July 22 and 23, 2025 [1]. While some transaction history suggests Ripple as the originator, the lack of Ripple's standard account security configurations casts doubt on the company's ownership or control of these wallets.
Upon checking Ripple's toml file, it was confirmed that the recently activated accounts are not related to the company [1]. These accounts are not found in Ripple’s official disclosures, which normally list Ripple-controlled wallets. The unusual account structures and security settings strongly suggest they are not Ripple’s institutional wallets.
Despite this, the XRP ecosystem has witnessed a surge in new accounts, unrelated new investors, and corporate adoption. For instance, Nature’s Miracle Holding recently announced plans for an XRP treasury [2][3].
It is worth noting that the XRP token is currently experiencing a significant crash, with a decrease of approximately 8%. However, it remains unclear whether this crash is related to the activated accounts.
On a separate note, CZ, the CEO of Binance, has reacted to BNB hitting a new record high. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Defense Department - a group possibly led by Michael Saylor - has unveiled tools for further Bitcoin accumulation.
In conclusion, while Ripple may have funded or initiated transactions to these accounts, the evidence strongly suggests these are not Ripple-controlled accounts, especially given their absence from Ripple’s toml file and lack of Ripple’s signature account setups [1]. The XRPL validator does not definitively confirm that the activated accounts are Ripple accounts, and they should theoretically have a traceable link to known accounts.
A top trader has called a 700% XRP win 'Giga Luck,' but the target of $6.9 for XRP remains alive. As the XRP community continues to monitor these developments, the mystery surrounding the newly activated accounts remains unsolved.
Investors in the XRP token market might consider looking into other profitable opportunities, given the recent surge in new, unrelated accounts and corporate adoption, as seen with Nature’s Miracle Holding's XRP treasury [2][3]. On a different note, the Bitcoin scene is also dynamic, with BNB hitting a new record high and the Bitcoin Defense Department introducing tools for further Bitcoin accumulation.
