In the first half of 2026, XRP Ledger (XRPL) saw its total addresses increase by nearly 490,000, reaching an all-time high of over 8.4 million, driven mainly by growth in tokenization such as stablecoins. However, the number of active unique addresses, which reflect actual network usage, declined by about 23.2%, indicating reduced daily activity. Meanwhile, XRP's price fell over 41% year-to-date, trading around $1.08, reflecting a bearish market sentiment. The rise in total addresses amid falling active usage suggests growing adoption of XRPL tokens despite lower overall network activity.
