XRP faces a potential price decline as active addresses crash 90% despite high trading volume, with 70% of its realized cap acquired at peak prices.

Since late 2024, the price of XRP has increased by more than 385%. However, new on-chain data suggests that these gains may have attracted buyers at fragile price points. According to the data, over 70% of XRP’s realized market cap (RMC) was acquired between late 2024 and early this year.

XRP Price Faces Potential Decline as Realized Cap Surge

The RMC tracks the value of digital assets based on their last transaction price. Since November last year, there has been a rise in the realized cap of the 3-to-6-month group, including a sharp increase after January 2025, when XRP’s price reached a new high of almost $3.40.

In the past, this market structure often caused sharp price declines, due to newer investors often wanting to sell quickly when the market goes down. A huge amount of money began to flow into XRP several months before it hit its peak of about $3.55 in December 2017.

Just as in mid-2020, 2021 saw short-term holders realize their profits with a sudden big increase, which then dropped by almost 80%.

XRP Active Addresses Have Dropped by 90% from Their March 2025 Peak

On-chain data reveals a huge difference where XRP active addresses reached highs in March 2025 and then dropped to figures seen previously by more than 90%. Although this drop isn’t a warning sign, the decline in active addresses suggests that more people are holding the coin while a lesser number are using it to send or receive funds.

Ctrl Alt Partners with DLD to Pioneer Blockchain Tokenization of Real Estate in the UAE

Meanwhile, Ctrl Alt, a blockchain-based asset infrastructure provider, has been named DLD’s tokenization collaborator, leading the innovative real estate initiative. This is a major breakthrough in asset tokenization and signifies a change for real estate investment in the UAE.

DLD is now using a public blockchain as part of its ways to digitize all title deeds in Dubai’s real estate market. Financial innovation and asset tokenization are at the forefront of what Ctrl Alt provides.

With this solution, on-chain property ledgers are now compatible with Dubai’s process of registration and integration with traditional property ledgers.

The project uses XRPL’s 10-year-old blockchain system, which has proven effective for trading digital and real assets. Its long history makes it a stable choice for this change.

Ripple CTO David Schwartz Defends XRP’s Decentralization Amid Social Media Debate

Recently, many wondered why Brad Garlinghouse, a central figure among Ripple’s executives, represents the cryptocurrency, unlike Bitcoin, whose leadership disappeared after the creation of the asset. David Schwartz, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, explained all the theories behind the issue in complete detail.

According to Schwartz, the XRP Ledger was launched with its complete supply pre-minted, meaning no entity functions as an issuer. He added that, unlike proof-of-work networks that gradually release tokens through mining, the XRP Ledger’s initial distribution mechanism enabled open participation without competitive mining.

Schwartz then shifted the focus to the core objectives of decentralization. Rather than focusing on the terminology, the blockchain pioneer advocated concentrating on user priorities.

This user-centric perspective, he argued, provides more meaningful criteria for assessing potential systemic risks. The association between XRP and Ripple continues to raise concerns about centralized influence in decentralized systems, particularly as the company maintains an active presence in industry forums and regulatory proceedings.

XRP Trading Volume Surges to $2.2B Despite 0.63% Price Dip

On-chain data reveals that XRP has lost 0.63% in the last day and now trades at $2.32. The dip in the market hasn’t affected its activity, which rose to $2.2 billion in the last 24 hours, up by 8.34%. Even with the little price variations, more people are finding interest in it.

Yesterday, the price of XRP was as high as $2.3355 and fell afterwards to between $2.31 and $2.34. XRP’s 65% profile score on CoinMarketCap means it is recognized by traders as a valued asset. The fourth-most valuable cryptocurrency has grown by 1.61% in dominance in the last 24 hours.
