What XRPSONAR is
XRPSONAR.COM is an independent site that follows the XRP Ledger live: whale movements, the wallets with the most XRP, exchange balances, ETFs and network health. It has no ties to Ripple or to any exchange, it does not sell XRP and it does not charge to show data.
Where the data comes from
| Source | What we take |
|---|---|
| XRP Ledger | Every validated ledger, live, from public servers (Ripple's s1 and s2 and xrplcluster.com): movements, balances, escrow and amendments. |
| XRPScan | Public names of known accounts and the network's daily history (new wallets and transactions). Data licensed CC BY-NC-SA. |
| CoinGecko | Price, market cap, price history and the ISO 20022 table. |
| Bitstamp | Backup price when CoinGecko does not respond. |
| Bitwise, Canary, 21Shares, REX-Osprey | Official page of each fund: assets, shares outstanding and XRP held by the XRP ETFs. Checked every 15 minutes after the exchange closes. |
| Nasdaq | Price and volume of the XRP ETFs, every minute while the New York stock exchange is open. |
| SoSoValue | Flow history of the XRP ETFs and the data for Grayscale and Franklin Templeton, whose sites cannot be read automatically. |
| OKX, Bitget, Gate | Open interest, funding and liquidations for derivatives. |
| Yahoo Finance | Quotes to compare XRP with stocks. |
| Upbit, Bithumb, Coinbase, Kraken, bitFlyer, Bitso… | Live XRP buys and sells in national currencies for the trading map. |
How it is calculated
- We listen to every validated transaction and store each payment of 1,000,000 XRP or more. Transfers between wallets of the same exchange are marked internal and do not count as flow or as news.
- The rich list is kept up to date with the final balance each transaction carries, so it stays exact without rescanning the ledger.
- Who is accumulating compares current balances with those 7 and 30 days ago; the Time Machine reads past balances from the ledger itself.
- Exchange totals only add real exchanges from our list. A wallet named after a person, project or bridge is still shown, but separately.
How a wallet is identified
Names come from the known accounts XRPScan publishes and from our list of exchanges. A name is a public identification, not a guarantee: an exchange may have wallets nobody has identified yet. Unnamed wallets are shown only by their address, and we never assign a guessed owner.
How often it updates
- Movements and rich list: live, every ledger (about 4 seconds).
- Price: every few minutes. Derivatives and today's ETF data: every 5 minutes.
- ISO 20022 prices: every 10 minutes. Amendments and network history: every hour.
- Who is accumulating: every 3 hours. Daily summary: closes at 00:00 UTC.
How the news is written
The news is written automatically from the data when a figure crosses a fixed threshold that is the same every day:
- A movement of 300 million XRP or more.
- An exchange gaining or losing 30 million XRP in a day.
- A day with 1.5 times more new wallets than the 30-day average, or more transactions than in the previous 90 days.
- An ETF inflow or outflow of US$5 million or more.
- A price change of 10% or more in 24 hours, or liquidations of US$25 million or more.
- An amendment gaining majority or being enabled.
We do not publish rumors, opinions or predictions. Hand-written notes follow the same rule: facts with their source.
What we do not claim
- Nothing we show is investment advice.
- A wallet adding balance does not prove someone bought: it may be an internal or custody movement.
- No cryptocurrency is certified under ISO 20022; no such certification exists.
- Links to exchanges and wallets are not referral links: we are not paid for them.
