Dogecoin Whales
Dogecoin has a total supply of 139 billion, and 100 addresses have over 100 million DOGE. These addresses hold over 92 billion DOGE, 65% of the circulating supply, according to Dogecoin Explorer.

The coin has a circulating supply of 35 billion, and the top 10 holders only control 9.99%, according to Cardano Explorer data. The top 100 wallets with the most ADA hold 22.56% of the circulating supply, which leads to a much less top-heavy rich list than XRP.
