XRP Price Fails to Break Out as Active Addresses Plummet

XRP has entered a period of uncertainty following its brief relief rally after US President Donald Trump's announcement to pause strikes on energy and power installations in Iran. The momentum from the announcement has faded, leaving XRP's price stuck between $1.36 and $1.46.

The sharp decline in active addresses on the XRP Ledger network signals a reduction in user engagement, which often reflects reduced demand in the short term. According to CryptoQuant data, active addresses have dropped by more than 40% within four days, contrasting with growing wallet holders.

Despite the slowdown, retail growth continues to increase, indicating long-term confidence in the asset. A rising base of small holders signals a more widely distributed asset rather than concentrated ownership. However, this does not guarantee price growth without strong network activity to support it.
