Highlights
The Ethereum Rich List clearly paints a picture of the wealth distribution among the ETH holders. Notably, in most cryptos, the top holders control a major portion of the supply, and the same is true for ETH, as reports reveal that over 74% of its supply is concentrated in the top 100 addresses. Let’s discuss who has held the most tokens in July.
According to the OKLINK Ethereum Rich List, the top 100 ETH holders of July carried over 74% of the total supply. This means that this number of individuals essentially control the trajectory of the token, as their buying and selling decisions could make or break the Ethereum price.
After these, the next 200 wallet addresses were responsible for 9.27%, followed by another 200 carrying 4.5% supply. Only a minor portion of the supply was distributed among thousands of people, where the wallets from 501 to 1000 have 5.64% supply, and all the accounts above 10001 have only 6.47% supply.
Overall, the top 100 addresses have the dominating Ethereum ownership, as the remaining accounts collectively hold less than 26%. Notably, the trend charts also reveal that the holding of top Ethereum holders has grown over the last few months.
A shift from 60% in mid-2024 to 74% in July 2025 reveals strong beliefs of these holders in ETH. However, such high holding also creates a centralization risk, but most cryptos have this breakdown.
Even the popular coin Pi Coin’s Rich List has a similar breakdown. In its case, the top holder is a burn address with 17.46 billion tokens.
The top Ethereum holder is the Beacon Deposit Contract, with 54.6% of the total supply. The wallet address 0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa is a Beacon Deposit Contract, which is the official gateway through which users deposit ETH to become validators on Ethereum 2.0.
To become a validator, users send 32 ETH to this address, which gets locked on the Beacon Chain. As a result, this wallet has the highest ETH holding. Many top crypto exchange addresses like Binance, Robinhood, and others are also in the top 10 Ethereum holders.
