XRP Surges to 452,000 Active Addresses – So Why Isn’t the Price Following?

XRP just hit a staggering 452,000 active addresses—yet the price action remains stuck in neutral. What gives?

Network activity spikes while traders yawn

The Ripple-backed asset shows all the signs of organic growth—except where it counts. While the blockchain buzzes with transactions, the market responds with the enthusiasm of a Wall Street banker at a crypto conference.

Liquidity vs. legacy baggage

XRP’s utility in cross-border payments keeps the network humming, but regulatory ghosts and institutional hesitation keep the brakes on momentum. The token that was supposed to revolutionize banking now watches as real-world adoption plays catch-up with on-chain metrics.

Will the dam finally break?

With this level of network activity, XRP’s price either needs to wake up—or admit it’s become the world’s most over-engineered accounting system. The addresses don’t lie, but the charts aren’t playing along. Someone tell the bulls their coffee’s ready.

• XRP drops below $2 after a 12-week streak, while Ledger activity hits 452,000 active addresses.
• Analyst Versan Aljarrah suggests XRP’s decline is due to broader market trends, not internal issues.
• XRP’s price sensitive to market changes, with $2.20 as a crucial level for avoiding further losses.

On Sunday, XRP had dropped below $2, ending a 12-week streak in which it had held above the mark. This decline has occurred as the wider cryptocurrency market is in decline. Nonetheless, XRP activity on the Ledger increased exponentially, and the number of active addresses exceeded 452,000, a new high since March. Nonetheless, the price of the token has not responded positively to this increase.

Black Swan Capitalist analyst Versan Aljarrah claimed that the token price fall is not based on its fundamentals. Rather, it is caused by a more general bearish sentiment on the market. The token is linked with the general market conditions, which are unfavorable at the moment.

#XRP isn’t down because it failed.
It’s down because it’s still coupled to a market that doesn’t understand what it’s built for.

XRP Struggles with Bearish Sentiment

In early April, XRP dropped to a low of $1.60 and remained above $2 in value over several weeks. The slump that it has experienced recently has however revealed its weakness. The current $XRP price is below a bearish trendline now, with the resistance at $2.05. In the event it passes this one, the next set of targets are sent to be $2.11 and then $2.15.

According to data on Coinglass, the trading volume of XRP increased by 59.33%, reaching a level of $9.21 billion. Nevertheless, the open interest decreased by 1.70%, which is currently equal to $3.55 billion. 

This is an indication as to how the sentiment of the market is still very cautious and there is no hope as far as recovery is concerned. The Open Interest-Weighted Funding rate of coin currently stands at 0.0019% which shows it has a tame outlook.

In the past day, the amount of the XRP liquidations was $21.37 million. The long traders incurred losses of $17.70 million whereas the short traders experienced loss to the tune of $3.67 million. The price of Ripple is highly related to the marketwide changes. This sensitiveness implies that token may continue to face pressure unless the general attitude towards the market changes to the better.

XRP Price Scenarios: Bullish or Bearish Ahead?

EGRAG crypto has gone back to its earlier market prediction of XRP cryptocurrency. He marked in a June 13 post that the token could face difficulties in testing major support and resistance levels. He referred to the white box territory, an important price level, on price support, where the coin may gain massive support. The analysts have underlined the importance of keeping the price over $2.20 to avoid further downs.

Failure to maintain above the level of $2.20 may see coin retesting support below the level of around $2.08. A further decline in the price may be all the way to the demand zone at the $1.90. According to EGRAG, XRP might be probing its macro-support level which can act as a bottom in a price rally in the future. He believes that this could be a bullish indicator of cryptocurrency.

EGRAG revealed two scenarios, which may take place in the future. A failure by the token to rally above the price of $2.08 means that it can consolidate at lower levels. This range could include targets of maybe $1.90 and even $1.77. Conversely, an alternative possibility occurs once token manages to close above $2.08 on a 12-hour chart, which can indicate that the trend has reversed towards the upside.

XRP depends on whether it can surpass important levels of resistance in the future. An upward move to above $2.08 may lead to an uptrend. But in the absence of this breakthrough, the cryptocurrency will be vulnerable to market dynamics.

The financial market is keeping a close eye on how token is recovering. The mood of the market mostly determines the performance of the coin. If cryptocurrency is able to recover positive momentum, it can stand a chance of recovering higher price levels. But the outlook is yet undecided, until it breaks the resistance.
