🪙 XRP Network Silence: Decline in Adoption and Activity from the 2024 Peak
Data shows that the XRP blockchain has experienced a sharp decline in activity and adoption metrics, indicating that the previous wave of speculation has faded.
🔸 New XRP addresses & Active supply have both decreased significantly
In a recent post on X, blockchain analytics firm Glassnode discussed the latest trends in new addresses and monthly active supply of XRP. The first metric measures the number of new wallets appearing on the chain each day for the first time, while the second tracks the amount of cryptocurrency that has participated in at least one transaction over the past month.
First, here is a chart showing how the number of new addresses has fluctuated on the XRP network over the past few years:
As shown in the chart above, the 7-day average of new addresses on the XRP network surged to a peak at the end of 2024. This significant spike coincided with a strong bullish rally in the cryptocurrency. Therefore, it appears that the upward momentum was accompanied by increased adoption.
From the chart, it can be seen that after the surge of new investors, there was a notable cooling-off in this metric in 2025. Adoption still experienced some spikes, but they were markedly lower than the peak in December 2024.
In 2026, this decline continued. Currently, only 2,700 new addresses are joining the network each day. This reflects an 85% decrease from the December 2024 peak, when this metric reached a value of 18,000.
Adoption is not the only metric that has slowed down for XRP. According to data from another metric shared by Glassnode, the 7-day average of the monthly active supply has also decreased sharply.
Network activity also saw a significant increase along with the bullish rally at the end of 2024, with 7.45 billion tokens becoming part of the active supply within one month.
Data shows the XRP blockchain has seen a steep drop in metrics related to activity and adoption, indicating that the earlier speculative wave has faded.
🔸 XRP New Addresses & Active Supply Have Both Plummeted
In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has talked about the latest trends in the new addresses and monthly active supply of XRP. The former metric is a measure of the daily total number of wallets coming online on the blockchain for the first time, while the latter tracks the amount of the cryptocurrency’s supply that became involved in at least one transaction over the past month.
First, here is a chart that shows how the number of new addresses has fluctuated on the XRP network over the last few years:
As displayed in the above graph, the 7-day average number of new addresses popping up on the XRP network shot up to a peak in late 2024. This massive spike in the metric appeared alongside a sharp bull rally for the cryptocurrency. Thus, it would appear that the bullish momentum was accompanied by a surge in adoption.
From the chart, it’s visible that what followed the explosive influx of new investors was a significant cooldown in the metric during 2025. Adoption still saw some spikes, but they were of a notably lower level than the December 2024 high.
In 2026, the decline in the indicator has only furthered. Today, there are just 2,700 new addresses joining the network every day. This reflects a drop of 85% compared to the December 2024 peak, when the metric reached a value of 18,000.
Adoption isn’t the only metric that has slowed down for XRP. As the data of the other indicator shared by Glassnode shows, the 7-day average value of the monthly active supply has also plummeted.
Activity on the network also witnessed a major spike alongside the bullish price action of late 2024, with 7.45 billion tokens becoming part of the 1-month active supply.
