XRP transactions jumped nearly threefold year-over-year to about 3 million per day, while the price remained muted around $1.40. The price is down roughly 39% from a year earlier despite the surge in on-chain activity. February 2026 saw average daily transactions of about 1.3 million, up from roughly 800,000 in May 2025, according to XRPScan. Analysts say the growth is driven by real-world asset settlements, stablecoins, and institutional payment flows.
Analysts highlight three primary drivers behind the surge: real-world assets, tokenized assets, and institutional rails.
