Arkham Intelligence has published a ranked list of the 100 richest crypto entities, aggregating on-chain holdings across known address clusters and valuing them in US dollars. According to Arkham, the combined assets of the top 100 exceed “over $1.6 trillion,” underscoring the scale of capital concentrated in a relatively small set of exchanges, custodians, protocols, corporates and notable individuals. The research note was shared via X on September 9, 2025, with valuations explicitly “correct as of 2nd September 2025.”Arkham Presents Top 100 Richest Entities In CryptoArkham emphasizes that it ranks entities, not single wallets. In its words, “An entity represents a collection of crypto addresses confirmed to be controlled by the same individual or institution,” a grouping it argues “offers a far more accurate picture of the true net worth of these crypto whales.” Each roster entry links to the corresponding Arkham Intel page where underlying addresses and asset mixes can be examined.The top tier is dominated by centralized exchanges and large institutional platforms. Binance leads with $209.19 billion, followed by Coinbase at $155.81 billion. The third slot is Arkham’s Satoshi Nakamoto entity at $125.07 billion, reflecting the well-known early-mined BTC cluster Arkham tracks.BlackRock ranks fourth with $100.77 billion, then Lido at $69.86 billion and MicroStrategy at $53.21 billion. Fidelity Custody appears seventh at $47.46 billion, ahead of Grayscale at $34.10 billion, while Korean exchange Upbit holds $32.80 billion and DeFi protocol Aave rounds out the top ten with $31.57 billion.Beyond the top ten, the list illustrates how varied the largest balance-holders have become. Major trading venues and market infrastructure providers such as OKX, Kraken, Bitfinex, and Bybit sit alongside L2s and DeFi treasuries including Arbitrum, Uniswap, Spark, Curve and Maker’s Sky.Government-linked clusters appear as well—the “US Government” sits at rank #20 with $23.42 billion and the “UK Government” at $6.99 billion—reflecting seized or controlled assets identified on-chain. There are also long-tail categories like wrapped assets (e.g., WBTC), staking and restaking protocols (Lido, EigenLayer, Ether.fi), and even high-profile memecoin or launchpad ecosystems such as “Official Trump Meme” and “pump.fun,” each with multibillion-dollar tallies.Notably, Arkham’s framing makes clear this is a live market snapshot rather than a static “rich list.” The methodology multiplies the assets held across an entity’s tagged addresses by market prices on the specified date—September 2, 2025—so rankings can and will shift with price, inflows/outflows, and new address attributions. Arkham also spotlights the scale at the top of the distribution, summarizing on X that “the top 100 entities on Arkham hold a total of over $1.6 trillion in assets,” a figure that contextualizes the influence such entities may exert on liquidity and market structure.At press time, Bitcoin traded at $112,322.
