XRP Active Address Just Fell From 25,000+ to 12,819. But There is a Good News

In the fast-moving world of blockchain metrics, abrupt shifts in on-chain behavior can signal more than just a temporary ￰0￱ data from the Steph Is Crypto X-post has drawn attention to the XRP Ledger’s dramatic drop in active addresses —from over 25,000 to 12,819. The sharpness of the move warrants closer examination of what’s happening beneath the surface of XRPL network ￰1￱ the Data Shows According to Steph, daily active addresses on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) have dropped by about 50%, contrasting with previous reports of a significant ￰2￱ example, other on-chain services previously recorded levels near 295,000 interacting addresses over short bursts, up from a 35,000–40,000 ￰3￱ datasets show around 21,000 active addresses, reflecting an 80% decline since ￰4￱ current figure of approximately 12,819 suggests the downward move could be even deeper than some third-party snapshots.

A SHARP COOL-DOWN IN NETWORK ￰5￱ — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) November 1, 2025 Possible Drivers of the Decline Several factors could underlie this cooling in XRPL on-chain ￰6￱ possible explanation is that past spikes were fueled by one-time events such as airdrops or specific campaigns, and the recent drop is a return to ￰7￱ network’s metrics, such as active addresses, have historically been highly ￰8￱ theory is that retail engagement is fading or migrating to competing chains, trimming daily transaction counts. Additionally, exchange flows, whale movements, or concentration of activity among fewer addresses could skew the count of ‘active’ addresses without indicating true utility ￰9￱ It Matters For Market Structure Active addresses serve as a real-time proxy for network utility and user engagement.

A halving of active participants can reduce fee flows, lower visible liquidity, and reduce speculative buying pressure that drives the price ￰10￱ XRPL, this suggests a challenge: without sustained growth in address activity or other demand drivers (such as institutional flows or real-world asset issuance), price may face ￰11￱ an environment where on-chain metrics are considered forward-looking, this downturn raises questions about whether earlier bullish narratives around XRPL usage remain intact. A Silver Lining: Holders Are Growing In response to Steph’s post, Hannah offered a positive ￰12￱ noted that trading volume has dropped, but holder numbers are increasing.
