I noticed an interesting pattern on the XRP network—payments are growing while the price is falling. Daily successful transactions are now at 2.5 million versus 1.5 million a quarter ago. At the same time, XRP has fallen from $2.84 in October 2025 to the current $1.43. It seems like a minus, but it’s a good sign for those studying cryptocurrencies—when the price drops and the network is more active, it indicates real demand.

In AMM pools, records are being set. On 23 February 2025, they recorded 11,123 deposits in a single day. There are already 26,878 pools in total, with a year-over-year increase of 2,428. It turns out that people aren’t just holding coins—they’re actively trading and providing liquidity. This shows that learning about cryptocurrencies and practical blockchain use are going hand in hand.

Overall, it’s clear that the XRP ledger is gaining real-world use despite the broader bear market. When activity grows despite the price, it’s usually a good sign.
