The first half of 2025 has shown significant changes in cryptocurrency holding patterns, with notable statistics on declines and investor migrations.
Decline in XRP Holding Ratio
According to Bybit’s ‘25H1 Asset Allocation Report,’ the holder percentage of XRP fell from 5% to 2.42% in H1 2025. This drop creates a contradiction with long-term trends, as XRP’s share nearly doubled from 1.29% in October 2024 to 2.42% by May 2025.
Trends in Solana Holding Ratio
Meanwhile, Solana’s holding ratio declined from 2.72% in November 2024 to 1.76% by May 2025. Bybit suggests that this decrease may be linked to investor shifts from SOL to XRP due to confidence in the potential approval of a spot ETF for XRP.
Retail Investors Moving to Altcoins
Retail investor behavior has also evolved, with traders moving away from Bitcoin toward altcoins offering higher upside potential. While institutional Bitcoin holdings remained steady, retail traders’ holdings decreased.
The cryptocurrency holding statistics for H1 2025 reflect volatility and uncertainty in the market. Despite the fluctuations in holding ratios, XRP maintains competitive advantages over Solana.
