An examination of the Ripple [XRP] addresses has revealed a significant increase in the creation of new addresses in recent days. This surge has also been accompanied by a rise in daily active addresses, indicating robust on-chain activity. Despite these positive trends on-chain, the price of XRP has not yet responded.
Surge in New Ripple Addresses
Analysis conducted by Santiment shows that Ripple witnessed a notable surge in the number of new addresses being created, reaching 1,672 on October 17th. The uptrend did not stop there.
By October 19th, the count of new addresses had soared to over 3,000, marking the highest daily total for wallet creation since March.
This upward trajectory persisted, and on October 20th, Ripple set a new record with nearly 4,150 new addresses generated in a single day.
This sharp uptick underlines a mounting interest in Ripple, as evidenced by the increasing number of wallets being established, indicating robust user involvement within the network.
Growing Activity in Ripple Addresses
Alongside the rise in new addresses, there has been a noticeable uptick in the volume of daily active addresses on Ripple’s network. On October 19th, the daily count of active addresses surged to 36,000, marking the highest figure since July.
While the number tapered off to around 23,000 the next day, it still represented the third-highest count of active addresses for the month.
This surge in daily active addresses suggests that many of the newly created addresses are becoming actively engaged, possibly participating in transactions and other network activities. The upsurge in on-chain activity portrays an escalating interest and engagement from Ripple users.
XRP Price Response to On-chain Trends
Despite the positive on-chain indicators, the price of Ripple’s XRP has yet to exhibit a substantial reaction to the recent spikes in new and active addresses. The daily price chart indicates that XRP has shown limited price movements in the recent days.
Nevertheless, XRP is holding above its 200-day moving average (blue line), which has served as robust support around $0.50.
On the flip side, the 50-day moving average (yellow line) is persisting as a resistance level at a similar price point. Currently, Ripple is trading around $0.55, showing a mild upward trend.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that while XRP remains in a bearish phase, the downward momentum has weakened, hinting at a potential market shift in the offing.
Although the price stability prevails for now, the surge in new and active addresses indicates a heightened level of activity that could potentially influence Ripple’s price in the near future.
