XRP, the native token of Ripple, has achieved substantial market growth as the XRP Ledger reached a major milestone. Santiment data reveals that XRPL has achieved 7.7 million holders for the first time after 13 years of operation.

The Ripple news demonstrates how XRPL adoption is increasing amid growing user activity. The Santiment data shows that the XRP price reached its highest point, in line with increasing levels of activity.

XRPL Adoption Booms with 7.7M Holders

According to the latest Santiment data, the XRPL ecosystem has seen a significant growth in user adoption and activity. Santiment shared an X post, which showed that XRP Ledger now has more than 7.7 million users who maintain active wallets. 

The XRP Ledger has achieved this milestone for the first time since its 2012 launch. The network shows increasing adoption because users maintain their steady network usage.
