#Market_Update The XRP news worth reading this week answers a simple question: who really owns XRP? A rich list shared on Oct 16 gives a lopsided answer. Ripple’s own accounts and escrow hold about 35.6 billion XRP, roughly 36% of all coins, per Coinpedia. One key takeaway is that Ripple holds 35.6B XRP, making them the single largest stakeholder. Yet XRP trades near $1.30, far below its $3.84 record.#CryptoDawar

The giant gains in XRP came early. On Jan 1, 2017, it cost $0.006368, per CoinMarketCap, and those days are long gone. Pepeto is still at its own start. It is a meme token on presale from the cofounder of the original Pepe, and its buyers have sent in more than $11.2 million.

The latest XRP news comes straight from the rich list. Analyst cheeky crypto matched XRPScan labels with balances checked on Oct 13. Ripple and its escrow hold about 35.6 billion XRP, and 31.4 billion of that is still locked, per EdaFace.

The ten largest named owners control about 60% of supply. Two escrow accounts of 500 million XRP each unlock on Nov 1. So the big owners shape much of what XRP does next, while small buyers mostly wait.

Pepeto: $0 in Fees on a $100,000 Trade, Before the Token Even Lists
XRP holders wait on Ripple’s escrow. Pepeto buyers wait on something much smaller, the end of a presale stage. Pepeto’s running total already stands above $11.2 million. Since the price rises at every stage, buyers from earlier stages already paid less than anyone buying today.

XRP built its name on cheap, fast transfers. PepetoSwap brings the same idea to trading, and it is already live. On Uniswap, a $100,000 trade costs $300. PancakeSwap takes $250. PepetoSwap takes $0, and the only cost is network gas.
