- XRP Ledger traffic soaring past 830,000 daily transactions, meme coins and stablecoins pushing fresh demand.
- Ripple’s network could soon push $21 trillion in yearly volume if growth pace keeps holding.
Daily activity on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has spiked to historic levels, coinciding with fresh forecasts that suggest XRP could climb by 1,300%. This renewed optimism comes as the ledger shows signs of strengthening beyond its original design for cross-border payments.
XRPL is now logging over 830,000 daily transactions, along with more than 29,000 active addresses and over 10,000 individual traders. This spike in usage has been partly fueled by new decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes, with recent figures exceeding $12 million. Stablecoin transfers also remain strong, averaging $5.6 million per day.
Trading activity has seen a jump in speculative segments, too. Meme coin volumes on XRPL brought in $6.25 million, signaling broader interest beyond traditional payments. XRP itself is currently priced at $3.56, reflecting a rise of over 66.09% in just the past month. Its total market capitalization has surpassed $209 billion.
SWIFT Down 15%—Ripple Eyes $21 Trillion in Transfers
Ripple has global ambitions that are being manifested as legacy infrastructure slows down. The long-standing global payment system, SWIFT, experienced a 15% decline in the number of transactions. Comparatively, XRPL is picking up speed with faster settlements, alongside lower payment fees.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently stated at the Apex XRPL Summit that in five years, the XRPL would be processing 14% of the global SWIFT traffic. With the SWIFT processing $150 trillion per year, that percentage would be processing over $21 trillion in volume through the XRPL. These figures show why important players in the area of finances are focusing more attention on the Ripple ecosystem.
RippleNet, on the XRPL, now transacts billions in international transfers. Banks are transitioning due to reduced reliance on pre-funded accounts and settlement within three to five seconds. Seamless global payments are gaining popularity due to rising applications in the spaces of banking in addition to fintech.
Sidechain Launch and Stablecoin Push Fuel Ledger Growth
The launch of XRPL’s EVM-compatible sidechain on June 30 added a new option for growth. In the first week alone, over 1,400 smart contracts were created, with more than 1,300 active today. This has extended XRPL’s application beyond just payments.
Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, is entering the $685 billion global remittance market. More activity is expected in peer-to-peer transfers, DeFi, and remittance channels, which could increase transaction volume. As more liquidity builds on-chain, interest in XRP may rise, potentially lifting its price.
Analysts have flagged patterns that were present before XRP’s previous rally. One analyst, The Great Mattsby, pointed to a re-expansion of monthly Bollinger Bands—similar to the setup seen in 2017 when XRP gained 1,300%. Based on Gann-based models, he estimates a possible XRP price of $45 if those conditions repeat.
Just to clarify, a 1300% increase would align perfectly with the green level of my Gann analysis, targeting approximately $45.
