XRP Ledger Trading Value Jumps as Active Users Fall 40%
The XRP Ledger, or XRPL, is a public blockchain that supports XRP payments, asset issuance and trading through a built-in decentralized order book. Daily trading accounts provide a gauge of how broadly the network is being used, but a decline does not necessarily signal weaker economic activity when institutions or other large participants execute higher-value transactions. The divergence is important because it points to a network increasingly driven by capital depth rather than user growth.
The latest year-on-year comparison showed daily accounts trading on XRPL’s order book fell about 40%, while aggregate trading value increased 79%. Assets held on the ledger also surpassed $4 billion in value. Together, the figures indicate that fewer participants are moving substantially larger amounts, lifting average transaction size and concentrating more capital among active users even as the network’s visible trading base contracts.

The history behind this eventXRP Ledger Posts Fourth-Largest Wallet Increase of 2026 as XRP Faces $1.40 Resistance
The XRP Ledger, or XRPL, is a Ripple-backed blockchain network focused primarily on cross-border payments, asset issuance and decentralized trading. The pace of wallet creation can indicate onchain participation, but a single address does not necessarily represent one new user, so the figure must be assessed alongside trading volume and active addresses. Whether the network’s expansion in 2026 can translate into demand for XRP has become a key focus for the market.
The latest data showed that the XRP Ledger added about 4,300 wallets in 24 hours, its fourth-largest one-day increase of 2026 and a sign of a short-term pickup in onchain activity. XRP, however, has yet to break through key resistance at $1.40. If buying and trading volume fail to persist, the market expects the price could remain rangebound for an extended period, with onchain growth yet to produce a clear rally.
XRP Ledger Transactions Surge to 2.7 Million as Price Remains Rangebound
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a public blockchain that supports XRP transfers, payments and asset issuance. In early 2026, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization projects drove on-chain demand, while network usage diverged from XRP's market performance. Whether ecosystem adoption can translate into demand for the token has consequently become a key issue to watch.
Daily transactions on XRPL recently climbed to about 2.7 million, signaling a marked increase in on-chain activity. XRP rose as much as 3%, breaking above $1.39 and ending its downtrend since early 2026. The rally failed to hold, however, and the token has continued to trade primarily within a range of $1.34 to $1.44.
