XRP Ledger Hits Record Metrics, Underscoring Ripple’s Institutional Push
Despite recent selling pressure that pulled XRP toward the $1.40 area, the XRP Ledger is logging accelerating activity and several record-level metrics. On-chain indicators — including transaction counts, active addresses, payment volume and new account creation — point to growing usage even as spot liquidity trends weaker, implying demand from real-world and institutional flows rather than purely retail speculation.
Those readings align with Ripple’s push to position XRP and the ledger as a settlement layer for institutional corridors and payment rails. That matters because sustained network usage can create longer-term demand dynamics that don’t immediately show up in short-term price moves. It’s not a guaranteed catalyst for an immediate rebound, but the divergence between on-chain strength and price weakness is a sign investors and traders should monitor as a barometer of adoption and potential future re-rating.
