"Public safety remains our highest priority."

Approximate counts (of the individuals pictured; excludes the two flagged non-offenders):
Whites (non-Hispanic European appearance): ~35–40
Blacks (African American appearance): ~15–20
Latinos/Hispanics: ~45–55 (strongest category; heavy presence of surnames such as Rodriguez, Gutierrez, Perez, Hernandez, Ruiz, Maldonado, Alvarez, Flores, Santana, Colon, Velasquez, Argueta, Mejia, Garces, Espinal, Guzman, Mendez, Velez, Sahagun, Quinones, etc.)

XRP Ledger Milestone Summary (July 16, 2026)
The XRP Ledger has crossed 8,000,000 activated accounts, with the precise figure reported at 8,000,688 wallets that have met the reserve requirement and can transact.0d0678
Kucoin
These accounts collectively hold approximately 67.53 billion XRP, aligning with recent circulating supply estimates in contemporaneous reports.
Reserve Rules and Locked XRP
The base reserve stands at 1 XRP per account (reduced from 10 XRP in December 2024). This is the minimum that must remain in the account for it to stay active and capable of sending transactions.
An additional owner reserve of 0.2 XRP applies per owned ledger object beyond the first two free trust lines for new accounts. Objects include extra trust lines, DEX offers, escrows, NFTs, payment channels, and signers.
Basic/empty activated account: Exactly 1 XRP reserved (unspendable below this threshold).
Active accounts (holding issued assets like RLUSD, trading on DEX, using NFTs, etc.): 1 XRP + (0.2 × number of objects) XRP reserved.
Total base reserves locked: Roughly 8,000,688 XRP across all activated accounts. This equals approximately 0.012% of the XRP held in those accounts — an economically negligible amount. (At the prior 10 XRP base reserve, the figure would have been ~80 million XRP locked.)
Total reserved XRP rises with real usage via owner reserves, but no single public dashboard aggregates the full base + incremental figure across every object.
Account Breakdown and Activity
XRPL does not publish clean public categorizations (e.g., retail vs. institutional, DeFi vs. payments). On-chain data provides proxies:
Total activated accounts: ~8.0007 million (cumulative ever-funded accounts that met reserve and became transactable). This is the headline growth metric.
Daily/unique active accounts (addresses actually sending transactions on a given day): Recently in the low-to-mid 20,000s range (reports cite figures around 22,888–25,350 as recent 2026 lows). Broader “active users” (senders + receivers or tagged activity) can run higher but remain orders of magnitude below the cumulative total.
Implication: Over 99.7% of activated accounts are not transacting on a typical day. They serve as holding vehicles, dormant/speculative wallets, one-off receipt addresses, or preparatory setups for tokenization and future utility. This is standard blockchain behavior — cumulative address growth consistently outpaces daily usage.
Holdings distribution: Highly concentrated. A small number of large accounts (major exchanges such as Binance and Bithumb, Ripple escrow accounts holding billions, whales, and custodians) control the vast majority of the ~67.5B+ XRP. The millions of smaller accounts form the long tail, many sitting near the minimum reserve plus modest balances.
Other categories lack exact public counts:
Multisig/advanced feature accounts incur extra owner reserve for signers.
High-utility accounts (multiple trust lines, AMM/DEX activity, NFTs, issued assets) carry higher total reserves.
Deleted accounts exist but are excluded from the activated milestone count.
Account creation accelerated after the reserve drop, with new accounts in the low thousands per day in recent periods (one report notes an average of ~2,300 new accounts daily since March 2026).
Unfiltered Context and Implications
The 8 million activated accounts figure is a legitimate long-term adoption signal for XRPL as settlement infrastructure supporting tokenization, cross-border payments, stablecoins (e.g., RLUSD growth), and DEX usage. The reserve reduction was intentional engineering: it lowered onboarding friction for both casual and institutional participants, even while reducing the “bond” effect of locked XRP and making low-commitment account creation cheaper.
