Holder Concentration

% of supply held by top addresses (top 10, top 100).

Holder Concentration: manipulation risk. High = few control most, can dump (rug). BTC top 100 = 14% (healthy). Memes top 10 = 50%+ (extreme risk). Stables high concentration OK (CEX/MM role). Gini: 0 = equal, 1 = one address has all.

In plain words

Percentage of total supply held by the top few addresses (top 10, top 100). High concentration = a few people can flood the market and tank the price anytime. BTC = low (healthy). Memecoins often have top 10 = over half the supply = extreme risk.

Example

BTC: top 100 = 14% (Coinbase/Binance cold). PEPE: top 10 = 30% (airdrop). SHIB: top 100 = 70%. USDT: top 10 = 50% (CEX). Scam meme: top 10 = 90% = run away.
