The number of transactions made through XRP has increased to an average of about 3 million a day, which is almost three times higher than the transactions made in mid-2025.
The spike indicates the increasing activity on the XRP Ledger, which is supported by tokenized real-world assets of over 460 million.
This growth notwithstanding, investor fears regarding the valuation of Ripple of $50 billion still exist.
XRPSCAN reports that currently, the XRP Ledger is doing 2-2.8 million transactions per day, and that it has peaks of 20-26 transactions a second.
The network also has some 27,000 active automated market maker pools serving more than 16,000 unique tokens.
These events signal an increase in the use of blockchain but do not imply an increase in the demand for XRP.
Network Activity Expands Without Driving Token Demand
The development of XRPL is supported by RLUSD and other holdings based on the XRP bridge.
Volumes of transactions have exceeded the amount of staking or locking of tokens, which explains the majority of activity that is based on transfers and not retaining tokens in the long term.
The value tied up on the network is only $48.41 million, which is a very low amount by XRP standards, with its market capitalization at $84 billion.

Although the number of AMM pools (27,000) and XRP deposits (12 million) signifies adoption, the dollar quantity is small in comparison with the size of the token.
The activities of trading and transferring prevail, which means that the value of XRP is still mostly determined by the external speculations and the approval of its community.
The so-called XRP army remains at the core of the price changes and remains active on social media.
Ripple’s $50 Billion Valuation Sparks Investor Questions

The valuation of Ripple has increased to a figure of $50billion after employee and shareholders’ share buyback of up to $750 million.
This is despite the fact that XRP has a reduced value of more than 60%. Investors doubt the lack of connection between the financial stability of Ripple and the performance of the token in the market.
Ripple has grown beyond token solutions to buying various companies in 2025 to provide crypto prime brokerage, custody, and payment solutions.
These purchases are Hidden Road, Rail, GTreasury, and Palisade. Ripple Prime currently has approximately 75 licenses across the globe and has a treasury worth $27.5 billion, principally in escrow.
Business expansion of the firm is no longer dependent only on XRP, and investors are the most crucial ones to recover the token.
XRP Price Faces Resistance Amid Market Rotation
XRP has been performing poorly compared to the rest of the market and is currently trading at a negative of 0.60% in 24-hour time.
Recent share buybacks and XRPL upgrades are already priced in, and this contributes to weak market momentum.
The nearest Fibonacci retracement level of 61.8% is at $1.42, although the nearest resistance point is at the 78.6% level of the retracement at $1.36 to 1.38.
The next day price perspective will be determined by the capacity of XRP to stay in the range of 1.36-1.38.
The level may enable a retest of $1.42 to 1.45. Increasing the rotation of altcoins and weakening feelings in larger markets have also curtailed an upturn.
The market members are also cautious by keeping an eye on the network activities and the corporate growth of Ripple to give a clue to the future.
