XRP in One Billion Club, Again

Published at 2025-11-13 15:31:33

On Nov. 13, 2025, XRP's daily transfer volume climbed back above the one‑billion mark, with on‑chain records showing more than 1.12 billion XRP moved in a single day. This recurring threshold often signals increased real-world payment flows and corridor activity rather than isolated spikes in exchange-driven churn.

The nature of the transfers suggests utility-driven usage—remittances, liquidity routing and activity tied to On‑Demand Liquidity—rather than short-term wash trades. While large on‑chain transfer days don't automatically translate into price moves, sustained throughput at this scale provides a clearer signal of network demand and can draw attention from counterparties and institutions monitoring settlement capacity.
