Bitcoin Wallet Creation Explodes—309K Daily as ETH Plays Catch-Up, XRP Left in Dust
Crypto’s heavyweight champ isn’t slowing down. Bitcoin just clocked 309,000 new wallets in a single day—enough to give legacy banks night sweats. Ethereum’s network growth trails but holds steady, while XRP’s adoption rate looks like a flatlining EKG.
Wall Street analysts scramble to ’reassess projections’ (read: quietly delete last month’s bearish reports). Meanwhile, the SEC’s litigation team takes another coffee break—Ripple’s lawyers must be billing by the hour.
Key takeaways? Network expansion remains crypto’s most reliable bull signal. And if you’re still waiting for that ’institutional FOMO moment,’ congrats—you’re the institution now.
Bitcoin Outshines Ethereum, XRP & Tether
According to recent data from Santiment, the market has welcomed a plethora of new wallets during the past month. The daily avereages of these wallets for the top four cryptocurrencies highlights the increasing interest in the ecosystem. The firm revealed that Bitcoin topped the list with a total of 309K new wallets created per day. This was followed by ethereum (ETH). The second largest cryptocurrecncy stood in the second place with a total of 112K new wallets each day. This came as a surprise to many as the price of Ethereum has been moving rather slowly.
Right after Bitcoin and Ethereum, stood Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin in the market. The network pocketed 36.4K new wallets per day. Ripple’s XRP stood last on the list. This was a major shock to the community as the altcoin has seen immense growth over the past few months. The asset’s annual growth stands at a positive 300%. This is much higher than that of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Santiment revealed that the XRP network saw a dainty 3.5K new wallets every day.
