Etherscan is the standard tool for looking up Ethereum wallet balances without having to run your own node: https://etherscan.io/ https://etherscan.io/ . Top Accounts by ETH Balance: https://etherscan.io/accounts https://etherscan.io/accounts #1 has 5%, but it's the wETH ("wrapped ETH") smart contract, that allows people to deposit ETH as the native token and receive wETH in return. wETH is more easily used for things like decentralized exchanges (https://weth.io/ https://weth.io/). So that's really a utility contract used by many applications and users. #2 is the ETH2 Deposit contract, with 2.6% of supply. These are stakers receiving mining rewards for participating in ETH2 beacon chain validation. #3 is Binance, with 2.5% of supply. They are the largest centralized exchange, so that 2.5% represents Binance's customer accounts. #4, #5, #6, are also exchanges. #7 is Compound Ether (@1.08% of supply). Compound is a decentralized finance savings & loan protocol, so again, that 1.08% represents tens of thousands of Compound users.
