On May 6, 2025, prominent X user and crypto enthusiast JackTheRippler shared a tweet outlining the “XRP Ranking Ladder 2025,” a post that categorizes holders of XRP by the number of tokens they possess. The rankings range from the highest tier of “Big Whale,” defined as someone holding over 100,000 XRP, to the lowest rank of “Worm,” for those with as little as 1 XRP. The tweet humorously ends with the question, “Are you a worm??” suggesting a challenge or reflection for readers to assess their holdings relative to the scale. The ranking categories are as follows: a “Big Whale” holds more than 100,000 XRP, a “Whale” has more than 50,000, a “Shark” owns over 10,000, a “Dolphin” holds over 5,000, a “Fish” possesses more than 1,000, an “Octopus” keeps over 500, a “Crab” has over 200, a “Shrimp” holds over 100, and a “Worm” owns just 1 XRP or more. The #XRP Ranking Ladder 2025: Big Whale = +100,000 XRP Whale = +50,000 XRP Shark = +10,000 XRP Dolphin = +5,000 XRP Fish = +1,000 XRP Octopus = +500 XRP Crab = +200 XRP Shrimp = +100 XRP Worm = + 1 XRP Are you a worm?? — JackTheRippler © (@RippleXrpie) May 5, 2025 Community Reactions Reflect Perspectives on Value and Mission Two responses from other X users highlight contrasting sentiments within the XRP community. A user identified as ovokiss commented , “I have 12,600 token of XRP and still think it’s not enough lol.” At the current market rate of $2.11 per XRP, this holding equates to approximately $26,586, placing the user in the “Shark” category according to the ladder. Despite occupying an upper-middle tier, ovokiss’s comment indicates a desire to increase their position, suggesting continued confidence in XRP’s potential. Another response came from Praetorian Nova, who took a more philosophical stance, writing , “The true strength of the $XRP $ARMY isn’t measured by ranks but by our unwavering belief in the mission. Whether a whale or a worm, our collective power drives the revolution forward!” This response shifts the focus away from the numerical classification and toward a collective sense of purpose among XRP holders, underscoring community cohesion rather than individual asset size.

For a “Big Whale” with 100,000 XRP, the USD equivalent would be $211,000. A “Whale” with 50,000 XRP would hold approximately $105,500, while a “Shark” at 10,000 XRP would control around $21,100. A “Dolphin” with 5,000 XRP holds $10,550, and a “Fish” with 1,000 XRP has about $2,110. Those in the lower tiers, such as an “Octopus” (500 XRP), “Crab” (200 XRP), “Shrimp” (100 XRP), and “Worm” (1 XRP), would correspond to holdings of $1,055, $422, $211, and $2.11 respectively. A Snapshot of Sentiment in a Bull Market The tweet by JackTheRippler offers more than just a humorous classification; it presents a moment-in-time reflection of the XRP community’s mindset during a period of price growth. With XRP priced at over $2.00 in early May 2025, the conversation around who holds what—and how much—indicates both individual aspirations and a broader collective narrative. While some embrace the ladder as a fun way to engage with the market, others emphasize solidarity and belief in the project’s long-term goals, irrespective of wallet size.
