XRP transactions will triple year-over-year, but the price will remain the same as the daily activity of the network will increase from about 1 million to about 3 million transactions.
Conclusion
- The activity of XRP Ledger reached about 3 million daily transactions.
- Growth is driven by RWAs, stablecoins and institutional flows.
- The price of XRP remained flat, down 39% for the year.
XRPScan ledger data shows that it posted 1.3 million daily transactions in February 2026, up from nearly 800,000 in May 2025.
XRP traded at $1.39 with a 24-hour range of $1.39 to $1.45, showing a 24-hour loss of 2.4% and a year-to-date loss of 39.3%.
The discrepancy between growing network usage and stagnant price action has caught the attention of analysts, who note that growth is driven by real asset settlements, stablecoins, and institutional payment flows.
XRP’s turnover is increasing 3 times during the year
XRP Brasil posted on X that the ledger grew from 1 million to almost 3 million daily transactions in less than a year, calling the data “surgical” and stating that “this is not noise, this is real adoption.”
The account noted that while markets focus on price, the network processes real-world assets, stablecoins and institutional flows behind the scenes.
Analyst PassingAnt identified three main drivers of transaction growth: real assets, tokenized assets, and institutional payment rails.
The jump from 1 million to about 3 million daily transactions is the kind of growth that usually comes from the chain’s financial activity, not retail speculation.
September 2025 saw the lowest activity with around 700,000 daily transactions before the increase began.
January 2026 reached 1.05 million daily transactions and February 2026 reached 1.3 million. The surge came as the price of XRP hovered between $1.30 and $1.50 for most of the period.
The price remains unchanged with an annual decrease of 39.3%
XRP gained 2.0% over the seven-day period, 8.5% over the 14-day period and 1.1% over the 30-day period, indicating a short-term recovery from recent lows.
The one-year figure of -39.3% shows the overall decline of the crypto market after the peak and subsequent decline of Bitcoin in October 2025.
Analyst Maxey noted that XRP has broken the resistance level, but has yet to confirm it with the close of the daily candles, calling Friday’s price moves “fake Fridays.” The first short pass is sitting at $2.36 and is a 70% gain from current levels.
