XRP, one of the top cryptocurrencies, is facing concerns over centralization due to its concentrated ownership. Ripple-controlled addresses hold a majority of the XRP tokens, with major exchanges also being top holders. The top 10 XRP holders collectively own 35.39% of the total supply. Critics argue that this concentration goes against the principles of decentralization. Ripple has faced criticism for relying on a centralized Unique Node List and Proof of Authority, among other issues. Some have suggested that Ripple adopt a Proof of Stake model to increase decentralization. In terms of price movement, XRP has been consolidating within a descending triangle and is testing a support line around $1.80. A breakout above resistance could trigger a rally, while a breakdown below support may lead to further declines.
