The total number of active addresses on the XRP (Ripple) Ledger has hit an all-time high, with the expansion of the Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization ecosystem emerging as a powerful engine for price increases.

According to the cryptocurrency media outlet Finbold on September 15 (local time), based on data compiled by on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, the cumulative number of unique addresses on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) reached 8,571,187 on September 14, setting a new all-time high (ATH). The network addresses, which stood at 7,921,350 as of January 1, 2026, have seen 649,837 new additions this year alone, showing a sharp year-to-date (YTD) increase of approximately 8.20%.

This surge in the number of addresses is coupled with the explosive growth of the Real World Asset tokenization sector, including stablecoins, within the network. According to RWA data platform RWA.xyz, the current volume of tokenized assets based on the XRP Ledger, including stablecoins and other real assets, has exceeded $5.4 billion. This has led to an increase in the number of wallets holding related assets to over 81,000, indicating a rapidly expanding base of actual ecosystem users.

Ripple Labs' proactive strategic mergers and acquisitions have also made a decisive contribution to ecosystem expansion. The media outlet evaluated that Ripple Labs' efforts to expand corporate financial infrastructure, such as acquiring Hidden Road and rebranding it as Ripple Prime, and acquiring GTreasury and establishing it as Ripple Treasury, directly led to network activation.

Improvements in network fundamentals are also evident as a clear price driver in market indicators. XRP's market capitalization surged by over $24.4 billion in the past 30 days, reaching $87.24 billion, and its price also jumped by 38.75% over the past month, trading around $1.39 as of Tuesday. Market experts predict that if the XRP Ledger continues to attract new accounts based on the inflow of real-world assets, the recently formed bullish momentum will gain further traction.
