Its market cap declined by 26% quarter-over-quarter to about $82 billion, while its price <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-price-prediction-can-xrp-reclaim-1-40-as-bitcoin-pair-hits-important-high\/\">dropped<\/a> by 27% to $1.34 at the time of this writing.<\/p>\n<figure aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1438446\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/XRPUSDT_2026-05-31_15-34-27-scaled.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1438446\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/XRPUSDT_2026-05-31_15-34-27-scaled.png\" alt=\"XRPUSDT_2026-05-31_15-34-27\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1070\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Per Messari\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/messari.io\/report\/state-of-xrp-q1-2026\">rapport<\/a>, trading activity also slowed down during the cited period. Average daily spot volume declined by 32%, while perpetual futures volume declined by 28.6%. That said, institutional exposure continued to build, as\u00a0<em>CryptoPotato\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-xrp-price-bounces-2-on-continued-etf-inflows-whats-next\/\">covered<\/a> recently. The quarter ended with ETFs holding about 775.4 million XRP, which is roughly 1.26% of the asset\u2019s currently circulating supply.<\/p>\n<h2>XRPL Sees Growth in RWAs, Transactions, and Stablecoins<\/h2>\n<p>While XRP\u2019s price struggled, XRPL activity moved in the opposite direction, supporting the case for strong fundamental support. Messari indicated that average daily transactions increased by 35% quarter-over-quarter, increasing from 1.83 million to 2.48 million.<\/p>\n<p>The network also saw growing adoption across stablecoins and tokenized assets.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s RLUSD stablecoin expanded to a market cap of $340.3 million on the XRPL by the end of the quarter, up 45% from the previous quarter. Meanwhile, XRPL\u2019s real-world market cap soared by 124% QoQ to an all-time high of $2.25 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Messari also reported that new infrastructure is being built in institutional-oriented decentralized finance. During the quarter, permissioned domains, permissioned DEX, and token escrow went live. Meanwhile, native lending protocols and asset vaults are still in voting.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, these developments can be taken to suggest that XRPL\u2019s institutional finance narratives continued to strengthen, despite the weakening price performance of XRP.<\/p>\n<p>Innlegget <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-ledger-activity-soars-in-q1-despite-xrp-price-slump-messari\/\">XRP Ledger Activity Soars in Q1 Despite XRP Price Slump: Messari<\/a> dukket f\u00f8rst opp p\u00e5 <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP had a rather difficult start to 2026 from a price standpoint, but the underlying XRP Ledger showed notable signs of growth, according to the latest State of XRP report by Messari.
