XRP has seen a dramatic surge in on-chain activity in 2025, with the number of active addresses reaching an all-time high, according to a chart shared by crypto commentator Brett (@Brett_Crypto_X).
The data, sourced from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode, shows a sharp increase in the number of daily active addresses interacting with the XRP Ledger, far outpacing the growth in the asset’s market price.

Sustained Growth in Active Network Participants
Brett’s tweet draws attention to a key divergence between usage and price behavior. While XRP’s price has steadily climbed, breaking past the $1.00 mark in early 2025 and holding above that level, the number of active addresses has increased at a much faster rate, with several spikes in activity visible in the early months of the year.
This rise in active addresses reflects an expanding base of users or applications engaging with the network, a development often regarded as a sign of underlying strength in blockchain utility and adoption.
Activity Surpasses Previous Market Cycle Peaks
According to the Glassnode chart, the number of daily active addresses began accelerating in late 2024 before reaching unprecedented levels in 2025. The current figures surpass any previous peak, including the notable activity in 2018 and 2021, years that were marked by broader market rallies and speculative interest. The recent activity spike is more sustained and accompanied by higher consistency in user interaction with the network.

Wallet Distribution Data Shows Growing Accumulation
In addition to active address data, a separate but related development was highlighted by crypto analyst Xaif and reported earlier by Times Tabloid. From July 2024 to May 2025, the number of XRP addresses holding at least 10,000 tokens has risen from roughly 281,000 to over 300,000.
This upward movement, represented by the green line in Xaif’s chart, points to steady accumulation among mid- to large-tier holders, suggesting increased confidence or strategic positioning among market participants.
Long-Term Interest Rises Ahead of Potential Utility Expansion
This growth in larger XRP holders coincides with rising engagement on the network, further reinforcing the notion that the increase in on-chain activity is not driven solely by short-term trading. Instead, it suggests the presence of long-term holders or institutional actors preparing for broader utility, such as developments in payments, tokenization, or stablecoin infrastructure involving XRP.
Although market participants often interpret rising network activity as a precursor to upward price action, the correlation is not always immediate or direct. Nevertheless, the substantial increase in active addresses and accumulation among top-tier holders indicates growing interest and commitment to the asset, independent of speculative momentum.
