The post XRP Ledger Hits 5-Week High in Activity as Wallets Cross 7.7 Million<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n

Ripple\u2019s XRP Ledger is showing strong growth, with network activity hitting a 5-week high as both price and user interest rise. Active wallets and total holders have reached new levels. But rising exchange supply now raises questions about what comes next.<\/p>\n

This spike in activity came as XRP price gained momentum, rising about 10% in just 48 hours and moving above the $1.60 level.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

XRPL Network Activity Hits 5-Week High<\/h2>\n

According to data from Santiment<\/a>, the number of active addresses surged as the XRP price jumped sharply. On March 16, the XRP Ledger recorded 46,767 active wallets, marking the highest daily activity since February 12.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, higher active addresses usually indicate more transactions and growing interest from both traders and long-term users.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the total number of XRP holders reached a new all-time high.  Santiment data shows the network now has more than 7.7 million non-empty wallets, the highest level in its 13-year history.<\/p>\n

XRP Ledger now has more than 7.7M holders (non-empty wallets) for the first time in its 13+ year history, as its usage continues to grow.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Monday closed with a 5-week high of 46,767 active addresses as $XRP<\/a>'s price jumped +14% in 48-hour span, breaching $1.60. pic.twitter.com\/SKTO5L4W6o<\/a><\/p>\n

This steady increase suggests that more users are entering the ecosystem and holding XRP, which is often seen as a positive long-term signal.<\/p>\n

Exchange Reserves Signal Profit-Taking Phase<\/h2>\n

On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows a shift in exchange behavior, especially on Binance.<\/p>\n

Earlier, XRP ledger reserves on exchanges dropped to around 2.75 billion XRP, as investors withdrew coins for holding. During that period, XRP price surged sharply from about $0.60 to above $3.00.<\/p>\n

However, as of March 16, reserves have increased again to around $2.85 billion worth of XRP, meaning more coins are moving back to exchanges. This usually suggests profit-taking or selling pressure.<\/p>\n

The next big move will depend on whether reserves start falling again or continue rising.<\/p>\n

Rising Activity Supports XRP Price Growth<\/h2>\n

The rise in active addresses and total holders shows that network usage is growing along with the price.<\/p>\n

At present, XRP is trading around $1.53, up 3.24% in a day and nearly 10% over the week. This steady growth reflects increasing interest from both retail and institutional investors.<\/p>\n

With strong momentum and improving technical signals, XRP continues to move upward. If this trend continues, the price could soon test the $2 level, which was last seen in January 2026.<\/p>\n
