Despite the price struggles, the $XRP ecosystem has continued to grow in actual use cases and adoption. Specifically, $XRP has welcomed exactly 343,777 new wallets since the start of 2026. With the end of April just a week away, this translates to an average of 80,000 new wallets every month.

So far, February has witnessed the highest monthly growth rate this year, recording over 109,000 new $XRP wallets despite the $XRP price collapsing 16.32% that month. This represented $XRP’s largest monthly decline since the 29.41% drop in February 2025.

An Observable Decline

At the current rate, the $XRP Ledger may be on track to cross the 8.5 million wallet milestone by the end of the year, potentially welcoming about 1.06 million addresses this year. However, this would represent an observable decline in the figure recorded last year.

Specifically, in 2025, the $XRP Ledger welcomed a total of 1.645 million new wallets. This translates to an average of more than 137,000 new addresses each month. While adoption has slowed from the previous year’s record, $XRP’s ability to maintain a high rate of new wallets despite the current downtrend confirms genuine interest from investors.
