XRP Wallets Have Been Growing At Parabolic Rate Recently, Data Shows

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for digging into the intricacies of blockchain data, the rapid adoption rate of XRP has piqued my interest. With over a decade of observing market trends and witnessing the ebb and flow of cryptocurrencies, I’ve learned to read between the lines in these on-chain analytics.

The latest on-chain analysis indicates a significant surge in wallets on the XRP network, surpassing the rate of increase seen on heavyweights such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

XRP Has Been Gaining Rapid Adoption Recently

Based on analysis by the blockchain data provider Santiment, there has been a substantial increase in the number of holders for leading cryptocurrencies over the past two years.

In simpler terms, “Total Amount of Holders” is a term for an on-network metric that counts the overall tally of unique wallets (or addresses) that have a non-zero balance in a specific blockchain or network.

An increase in this metric might indicate that fresh investors are entering the blockchain market or previous investors who previously sold are re-investing. Additionally, it could be due to current users creating additional accounts for reasons such as privacy enhancement.

Whenever the total number of holders increases, it’s likely that these three factors (the increase in holders, the growth in transaction volume, and the rise in market capitalization) are all simultaneously contributing to some extent. This suggests that there might be a general uptake or adoption of the cryptocurrency occurring.

Instead, when the indicator decreases, it suggests that some investors might be choosing to withdraw from the asset, and as a result, they are emptying their holdings or addresses.

Here’s a visual representation displaying the progression of the number of holders for the leading four cryptocurrencies according to their market capitalization: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and Ripple (XRP).

It’s clear from the graph that the total number of holders for each of these assets has significantly risen in the past few years, indicating a large surge of new users in the cryptocurrency market.

In this timeframe, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether have generally continued their upward trajectory. However, XRP has displayed a departure from this trend lately, as its indicator has remarkably surged.

According to the graph, we can see that the total number of coin holders initiated an upward trend on October 18th. However, the price of the asset didn’t significantly increase until mid-November. This suggests that the rapid growth in adoption may have provided a strong foundation for the cryptocurrency to surge afterwards.

Over a span of about two years, USDT (Tether) has witnessed the highest level of adoption among assets, as indicated by its Total Holder Count growing approximately 66%. Ethereum follows closely at an increase of nearly 47%, while XRP trails slightly behind with around 28% growth. Notably, Bitcoin’s holder count has increased by roughly 27% during the same period.

Despite XRP demonstrating a robust adoption pace, it’s important to note that it currently boasts the least number of users compared to these major players. At this moment, XRP has approximately 5.75 million investors.
