It Costs $20,000 To Become a XRP Whale Because cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and XRP are new, emerging technologies that are also financial assets, analysts look at a number of different data points to attempt to determine a fair market value.

The table shows that the top 1% of Ripple accounts hold roughly 69,000 XRP on average.
To become a one-percenter in Bitcoin, one would need to hold an account containing 10 BTC or more or the equivalent of more than $100,000.
