⬤ XRP has been struggling since Q4 2025 kicked off, even though more people keep joining the network. Back in early October, the token was sitting around $2.84 after a small bounce in September. It pushed up to about $3.10 before everything went south following the October 10 crash. Now it's trading near $1.44—that's roughly half of what it was worth just a few months ago.
⬤ The price chart tells a rough story. XRP just closed its fourth straight month in the red, something we haven't seen since late 2019. If it makes five losing months in a row, that'll be the first time since 2016. The whole crypto market took a beating too, shedding about $1.43 trillion in value.
⬤ But here's the interesting part: while prices tanked, adoption kept climbing. According to data from the XRP Rich List platform, the network added 526,446 wallets since Q4 2025 started. The ledger hit 7 million addresses back in September, crossed 7,050,037 by October 1st, and now sits at approximately 7,576,446 total wallets.
⬤ New wallets typically show up at a rate of 2,500 to 5,000 per day, with occasional spikes pushing that number higher. October 30th saw 9,900 new addresses, November 2nd brought 11,242, and November 11th posted the biggest single-day jump with 13,300 new wallets. So while XRP's price tells one story, the growing number of addresses suggests people are still getting involved with the network.
