Edo Farina, the CEO of Alpha Lion Academy, recently shared an updated classification system for XRP holders in a tweet, introducing a unique ranking ladder based on the quantity of XRP held by investors.
The rankings include categories such as “Big Whale,” “Whale,” “Shark,” “Dolphin,” “Fish,” “Octopus,” “Crab,” “Shrimp,” and “Worm,” with each category representing a specific range of XRP holdings. This system engages the XRP community and highlights the financial commitment required to ascend the ranks in the current market environment.
$XRP the ranking ladder! 🔥 [2025 Updated]
🐋 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— EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) January 7, 2025
Financial Commitment to XRP Tiers
With XRP priced at $2.30, the cost of entering these categories varies significantly. For instance, investors aiming to reach the “Big Whale” level, would need to accumulate 100,000 XRP, equivalent to an investment of $230,000. The “Whale” category requires half that amount, while the “Shark” tier involves holding 10,000 XRP, costing $23,000.
Mid-range categories like “Dolphin” and “Fish” correspond to investments of $11,500 and $2,300, respectively. Smaller holders, such as “Octopus,” “Crab,” “Shrimp,” and “Worm,” represent progressively lower financial commitments, starting as low as $230 for 100 XRP and $2.30 for a single XRP.

Farina’s Investment Perspective
Edo Farina has been a vocal proponent of XRP’s potential as a transformative asset within the financial ecosystem. In 2024, he made a compelling case for investors to consider holding at least 1,000 XRP, aligning with the “Fish” category in his updated rankings.
Farina has frequently emphasized XRP’s utility and adoption prospects, particularly in cross-border payments, as key factors driving its long-term value.
In a recent video, Farina elaborated on his belief that XRP is uniquely positioned to help the transition toward a modernized financial system.
He underscored the importance of securing a meaningful amount of XRP before its value rises. He marked this as a strategic move for those looking to capitalize on what he describes as the greatest transfer of wealth in history.
The Strategic Appeal of XRP
XRP’s primary utility is its ability to facilitate efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, a feature that has garnered attention from financial institutions and payment providers worldwide.
Farina’s rankings serve as a practical framework for understanding the varying levels of investment required to meaningfully participate in the XRP ecosystem.
For investors who share his outlook, securing a higher-tier classification may represent a forward-looking strategy, particularly if XRP achieves widespread adoption in the financial sector.
