Recent data from the XRP Ledger indicates a notable shift in network behavior. For most of 2024 and much of 2025, AccountSet transactions remained few, showing only brief, isolated spikes. That pattern shifted late last year.
A recent chart shared by crypto analyst Arthur (@XrpArthur) shows that AccountSet transactions have repeatedly exceeded 40,000 in a single day since November 2025. These levels stand among the highest recorded in years.
🚨 XRPL IS WAKING UP BIG TIME! 🔥
AccountSet transactions just went nuclear : multiple spikes hitting 40K+ in a single day, highest levels in years !
It's MASSIVE wallet setups, trust lines, institutional configs, AMM prep, RLUSD corridors & real adoption kicking in.

Rising XRPL Activity
AccountSet transactions configure wallets. They establish permissions, trust lines, flags, and operational settings. They typically occur before active usage, and sudden growth in this metric shows preparation across the network rather than speculative activity.
Arthur described the move directly, stating that “AccountSet transactions just went nuclear.” He attributed the surge to a potential inflow of new users setting up wallets, trust lines, and institutional activity on the ledger. His list also included automated market maker activity, RLUSD corridors, and increased adoption.
The timing and structure of the spikes support that interpretation. The activity arrived in waves across several weeks. The peaks clustered close together and persisted into January. This pattern suggests organized deployment rather than retail experimentation.
Reading the Chart More Closely
Earlier sections of the chart show a long, flat base. From late 2024 through mid-2025, daily AccountSet counts stayed low with limited follow-through. August 2025 marked the first expansion phase, with activity briefly climbing into the five-figure range before retracing. That move now resembles a precursor to recent activity.
The decisive shift occurred in November. From that point forward, both peaks and baseline levels rose. Even on quieter days, activity stayed elevated relative to previous months.
Supply Conditions and Positioning
Arthur also noted tightening supply conditions, writing that “ETFs suck up supply & exchanges bleed dry.” While the chart does not track balances, the behavior fits institutional positioning. Entities preparing for sustained on-ledger use typically move assets off exchanges and configure wallets directly on the network.

XRP’s price has not yet reflected the intensity of this setup phase. That divergence creates interest. Network preparation often precedes price movement. Many market participants are waiting to see the impact of ETFs on the asset’s price, and these spikes may be a sign of things to come.
What This Signals for XRP
The sustained rise in AccountSet transactions indicates the network is entering an operational phase. Trust lines, AMMs, and regulated rails require deliberate setup.
The chart reveals work is underway at scale. If this activity translates into usage, XRP’s role within the ledger ecosystem could expand meaningfully. Steph concluded with an important question, “Who’s loading the bags before the next leg up?”
