Solana, a Layer-1 blockchain, is known to be an eco-friendly chain that combines proof-of-stake consensus. In November 2021, Solana reached its record high of $260. 
At the time of publication, Solana has averaged out at the $100 mark but remains almost 60% down from its all-time high. At this time, we look at the top holders of Solana in 2023.

<h2 id="sol-s-wealth-concentration">SOL’s wealth concentration</h2> 
Based on <a href="https://www.coincarp.com/currencies/solana/richlist/">data</a> by CoinCarp, the top ten addresses on the Solana rich list collectively hold approximately 49.66 million SOL. This represents a significant 9.69% of SOL’s total circulating supply as of November 2023. 
Meanwhile, the chain’s top 20 holders control 14.87% of the supply. This concentration increases further with the top 50 holders possessing 24.93% of the tokens, and the top 100 holders collectively owning 33.41%, as per CoinCarp data.&nbsp;

On the top holder list is an address holding over 11.16 million SOL, amounting to 2.18% of the total supply. This address, identified as 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM, sits at the top of the rich list. Following in the ranks are other addresses, each securing a stake ranging from 0.71% to 1.09% of the total SOL in circulation. 
<h2 id="ftx-major-holder-of-solana">FTX major holder of&nbsp; Solana</h2> 
The on-chain analytics firm Spot On Chain recently&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://platform.spotonchain.ai/en/signal-details/a-review-of-ftx-and-alamedas-solana-sol-holding-13997" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a>&nbsp;that about 27% of FTX’s Solana (SOL) holdings, roughly 15.3 million SOL, are now accessible. The defunct entities have around 2 million SOL, valued at nearly $192 million, ready for potential sale. 
This scenario, where a few players hold a large portion of a cryptocurrency, is becoming common with a few large cryptos. It’s a concern for those advocating for decentralization, as concentrated ownership can lead to significant price swings if these major holders decide to move their assets.
