Wallets publicly attributed to exchanges added 83.94 million XRP across three daily balance changes dated Oct. 13–15, taking the tracked total to 22.06 billion XRP. The 0.38% increase creates a potential-supply question during price weakness.
XRP Insights, a tracker of XRP Ledger balances and public wallet labels, recorded the rise in the same 699 wallets across 24 exchanges. Its latest exchange-wallet snapshot was taken at 08:01 UTC on Oct. 15, 2026.
XRP traded near $1.32 in a CryptoSlate reading at about 14:56 UTC on Oct. 15. The page showed a 0.89% rise over 24 hours and about $3.12 billion in reported turnover. CryptoSlate also lists broader token prices in its market table.
The downloadable balance figures show three successive positive daily changes:
| Daily change dated | Increase, million XRP |
|---|---|
| Oct. 13, 2026 | 17.75 |
| Oct. 14, 2026 | 35.21 |
| Oct. 15, 2026 | 30.98 |
| Three-change total | 83.94 |
The dates label changes from the preceding day's snapshot. Together, they cover approximately 08:00 UTC on Oct. 12 through 08:01 UTC on Oct. 15. Over that interval, tracked holdings rose from about 21.973 billion to 22.057 billion XRP.
Each observation from Oct. 12 through Oct. 15 retained 699 wallets and 24 exchanges, with no newly added wallets or exchanges excluded for coverage changes.
That consistency matters because discovering another exchange wallet can increase a provider's reported total without any XRP moving. Here, the provider's records show a balance increase within the tracked set.
Related ReadingThe venue breakdown answers a different question. For Oct. 8–15, XRP Insights reported an increase of 82.35 million XRP, or 0.37%, in the same tracked wallets. That seven-day figure overlaps the latest three daily gains; the two totals cannot be added.
Binance-attributed wallets accounted for 54.61 million XRP of the weekly net increase, the largest positive venue change and roughly two-thirds of the total. Upbit added 11.58 million XRP, Kraken 9.17 million, Coinbase 8.09 million and Bithumb 5.81 million over the same week.
