New account creation on the XRP Ledger climbed sharply, rising 142.4% according to data from XRPScan. This surge highlights a notable uptick in ecosystem activity, while the price of XRP continues to face resistance and remains below recent highs.
Activity on XRP Ledger accelerates
On November 1, XRPScan recorded 7,734 newly activated accounts, marking a 33% increase from the previous day. This figure is also more than double the network’s 30-day average of approximately 3,500 new accounts created daily.
Despite this growth, the reasons behind the acceleration are not yet clear. Some market observers suggest that rising interest in tokenized assets, stablecoins, and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications based on the XRPL may be contributing to the increase in wallet creation. Additionally, processes related to exchange onboarding and automated systems could be artificially inflating the number of new accounts.

However, a rise in account numbers does not necessarily translate to growth in unique users. One individual can create multiple accounts, and automated systems can register many more, making it important to track other on-chain metrics to accurately assess broader user adoption.
XRPScan’s records show that account creation has experienced similar spikes, with the all-time high standing at roughly 30,600 newly created accounts. The latest daily jump is significant but remains below this peak.
XRP price struggles despite network growth
While new account activity on the ledger has increased, XRP’s price performance paints a different picture. Recent data from TradingView indicates that XRP was trading close to $1.25 on November 2, after undergoing an extended correction since its September and October highs.
XRP remains below several major moving averages, suggesting that bearish momentum continues to dominate the technical setup. Immediate support is observed in the $1.20 to $1.25 range, while any recovery efforts may face resistance between $1.30 and $1.35.
| Metric | Current Figure | Reference/Comparison |
|---|---|---|
| New XRPL accounts (Nov 1) | 7,734 | +33% from previous day, above 30-day daily avg |
| All-time daily record | 30,600 | Latest surge is lower |
| XRP price (Nov 2) | $1.25 | Below Sep-Oct highs |
| Immediate support | $1.20–$1.25 | Current trading range |
| Potential resistance | $1.30–$1.35 | If recovery occurs |
Market analysts note that the disconnect between blockchain activity and market demand is not uncommon. While increased account creation may suggest higher engagement, it does not necessarily indicate real demand for the token itself. Sustained increases in active addresses, transaction volumes, and day-to-day use of the XRP Ledger would provide stronger evidence of growing ecosystem adoption.
Although the 142.4% increase in XRPL account creation signals rising network activity, converting this into meaningful demand for XRP requires more persistent growth in user engagement and transactional use across the ecosystem.
