XRP Network Activity Surges While Price Remains Rangebound

Despite a significant increase in network activity over the past year, the price of Ripple’s XRP has remained relatively stable. Recent data indicates a near doubling of daily transactions, yet the price continues to trade within a limited range, signaling growing adoption beyond speculative trading.

Network Activity Shows Strong Growth

According to data from XRPScan, the XRP network processed an average of 1.3 million transactions per day in February 2026. This represents a substantial increase compared to the approximately 800,000 transactions per day recorded in May 2025. As of March 15, 2026, XRP was trading around $1.40, a 40 percent decrease year-over-year, according to XRPSCAN.

The increase in transaction volume suggests genuine adoption of the XRP network, extending beyond retail speculation. This activity includes transactions involving real-world assets, stablecoins, and institutional payment flows. Network activity reached a low of around 700,000 daily transactions in September 2025 before accelerating to 1.05 million in January 2026 and 1.3 million in February 2026.

Price Lags Behind Increased Usage

Despite the surge in network activity, the price of XRP has largely remained within a range of $1.30 to $1.50 in recent months. There has been some short-term recovery, with the price approximately 2.0 percent higher than a week ago, 8.5 percent higher than two weeks ago, and 1.1 percent higher than a month ago. However, the annual performance remains negative, with a 40 percent decline.

Analyst Maxi suggests that XRP has recently broken through some resistance levels, but confirmation via a daily candle close is still needed. The analyst identifies a first major short-term target of around $2.36, representing a potential 70 percent increase from current price levels.
