XRP transactions jump 3x year-over-year, but price stays muted as daily network activity surges from approximately 1 million to nearly 3 million transactions. Summary XRP Ledger activity surged to nearly 3M daily transactions. Growth is driven by RWAs, stablecoins, and institutional flows. XRP price remains muted, down 39% year-over-year. The ledger data from XRPScan shows February 2026 posting 1.3 million average daily transactions, up from roughly 800,000 in May 2025. XRP traded at $1.39 with a 24-hour range of $1.39 to $1.45, posting losses of 2.4% over 24 hours and 39.3% over one year. The disconnect between surging network usage and stagnant price action has drawn attention from analysts who note the growth comes from real-world asset settlement, stablecoins, and institutional payment flows.

Analyst PassingAnt identified three major drivers for the transaction growth: real-world assets, tokenized assets, and institutional payment rails. The shift from 1 million to nearly 3 million daily transactions is the kind of growth that usually comes from on-chain financial activity rather than retail speculation. September 2025 posted the lowest activity at approximately 700,000 daily transactions before the surge began. January 2026 reached 1.05 million daily transactions, with February 2026 climbing to 1.3 million. The acceleration occurred while XRP price remained range-bound between $1.30 and $1.50 for most of the period. Price remains muted with 39.3% yearly drop XRP posted gains of 2.0% over seven days, 8.5% over 14 days, and 1.1% over 30 days, showing short-term recovery from recent lows. The one-year performance of -39.3% shows the overall crypto market drawdown following Bitcoin’s October 2025 all-time high and subsequent drop. Analyst Maxi noted XRP broke resistance levels but has yet to confirm with a daily candle close, calling Friday price moves “fake out Fridays.” The first short-term checkpoint sits at $2.36 and is a 70% gain from current levels.
