XRP Network Sees Steep Pullback In New User Activity From Its 2024 High
XRP's network activity has significantly cooled in May, with a sharp decline in new user adoption. According to Glassnode data, daily new wallet addresses have plummeted by over 85%, falling from a peak of 18,000 in December 2024 to around 2,700. This drop indicates waning retail investor interest, which previously fueled the network's growth. Concurrently, monthly active supply has also decreased, suggesting the speculative wave from late 2024 has largely unwound. While market sentiment has shifted, causing a broader pullback, XRP's price decline appears driven more by a lack of buyers than by strong selling pressure. Notably, significant long futures positions are being accumulated at current levels, potentially capping price upside despite emerging buying interest.
