【Crypto World】The XRP exchange ecosystem exhibits a highly centralized characteristic. The top four exchanges—Upbit, a leading exchange, Bithumb, and Uphold—almost monopolize XRP reserves on the exchange side, collectively controlling about 80% of the exchange supply, totaling 12.3 billion tokens.
Korean exchanges stand out. Upbit holds 2.5 times the amount of XRP compared to a leading exchange, which is a significant gap. Upbit and Bithumb together control over 52% of the listed circulating supply, highlighting the influence of Korean platforms on the XRP ecosystem. Uphold, also ranking high, reflects its long-term support for XRP.
Interestingly, Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) account for only about 1% of the total XRP supply, indicating that investors accessing XRP through structured products are still limited, leaving considerable room for market imagination.

How can Korean exchanges accumulate so much? It feels like the entire XRP market has been manipulated by a few big players...
