Ethereum Tops 200 Million Non-Empty Wallets as Adoption Builds Beneath Flat Markets

The cryptocurrency market may be drifting sideways, but recent data suggests that participants are not walking away. According to Santiment's update on July 28, Ethereum has crossed 200 million non-empty wallets for the first time, XRP Ledger and USDC on Ethereum have both moved past 8 million holders, and Chainlink surpassed 900,000.

The trend is significant because it shows that adoption is building beneath flat markets. Non-empty wallets measure how many addresses hold a positive balance, indicating that more addresses are holding value or interacting with decentralized applications.

Ethereum's jump past 200 million non-empty wallets is the most visible headline, but the movement in USDC on Ethereum and XRP Ledger adds texture. The growth of these platforms suggests that user adoption is increasing as they expand their feature sets and attract more users.
