XRP Ledger Active Accounts Jump 65% Above Monthly Average as Network Activity Rebounds
Activity on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has strengthened in October, with the blockchain recording 30,604 active accounts on October 26 even as XRP continues to face price pressure. Data from XRPScan shows the figure was approximately 65% above the network's 30-day average, pointing to a notable increase in participation.
The October 26 reading compared with an average of 18,600 active accounts over the previous 30 days, a difference of 12,004 accounts. Daily activity also rose 6% within 24 hours, adding to signs of a recovery in network engagement that began in September.
XRP Ledger Activity Rebounds After a Quieter Summer
XRPL's activity levels fluctuated throughout 2026, with daily active accounts generally ranging between 13,000 and 20,000. Participation remained relatively subdued from June through August before beginning to recover in September and accelerating during October.
The latest count above 30,000 places October 26 among the stronger periods for network activity this year. Similar spikes have occurred previously, although daily participation has varied considerably across the year.
XRPScan tracks unique active senders, offering a measure of accounts participating in network activity rather than simply counting registered wallet addresses. An increase in active senders may reflect more transfers, trading activity or renewed engagement from existing XRP Ledger users.
However, rising account activity alone does not establish the cause of the increase or confirm that the additional participation will continue.
XRP Price Remains Weak Despite Higher Network Participation
The improvement in XRPL activity has not been matched by a comparable recovery in XRP's market price. XRP was trading near $1.29 after retreating from September and October highs between $1.55 and $1.60.
The cryptocurrency also remained below several important moving averages on its daily chart, reflecting continued selling pressure. Its Relative Strength Index was in the lower half of its range, indicating that buying momentum remained relatively limited.
The divergence between network activity and price performance highlights two different aspects of the XRP market. More active senders indicate increased participation on the ledger, but the data does not by itself demonstrate stronger investor demand or an imminent price recovery.
XRP Faces $1.30 Level as Traders Watch for Recovery
The $1.30 region remains a key near-term level for XRP as the token attempts to recover from its recent decline. A sustained move above that area could improve the short-term outlook, although higher moving averages may continue to act as resistance.
For a more durable recovery, XRP would need to show stronger price performance alongside continued network participation. Whether the recent increase in XRPL activity persists remains an important factor to watch as the market assesses the potential for a rebound.
