XRP Payment Volume Spikes: Details

According to XRPScan data, the XRP payment volume has skyrocketed to 4.11 billion, with a massive 1,300% hike in a day. Despite the token’s stagnant price movements, the payment volume had seen this drastic hike, up from the previous day’s 295.67 million.

The payments on XRPL have recently surged to a monthly high of 1.1 million on June 9, following a significant 117.41% jump in on-chain payment activity over the last 24 hours. This increased activity comes as the token’s price remains relatively stable, moving between $2.21 and $2.32.

A growing payment volume could bolster XRP’s utility-focused narrative, setting it apart from altcoins struggling to demonstrate real-world use cases. Despite Ripple’s ongoing regulatory challenges in the US, its global expansion and increasing transactional throughput might reignite investor interest. Acknowledging the major growth, an XRP community member wrote on Reddit, “We’re seeing real utility in motion — this is exactly what we’ve been waiting for.”

XRP ETF Odds Surge: Is This Behind Payment Spike?

Ripple and the XRP Ledger have been making significant strides over recent days, which are likely to have contributed to this payment growth. For instance, the XRP Ledger has once again proved its dominance in tokenization with the latest partnerships with Ondo Finance and Guggenheim.

In addition, the increasing speculation of an XRP ETF approval in 2025 has also contributed to this growth. According to Polymarket, the odds of the ETF approval now stand at 87%, sparking optimism. Adding fuel to the speculations, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas has predicted an ‘Altcoin ETF Season.’ This followed the SEC’s latest move on Solana ETF applications.

This growing optimism is further underscored by upcoming decisions on spot XRP ETFs. As CoinGape reported, the SEC is poised to rule on Franklin Templeton’s filing by June 17 and ProShares XRP exchange-traded fund by June 25, 2025. However, the ongoing XRP lawsuit and other factors cast a shadow over the SEC’s decision, tempering investor enthusiasm.

Ripple’s major acquisitions, coupled with the XRP payment volume hike, have boosted investor confidence. This could significantly drive the XRP price up, targeting new highs.
