XRP Ledger Sees 490K New Accounts Amid RLUSD Growth

The XRP Ledger experienced significant growth in the first half of 2026, adding nearly 490K new accounts to bring the total to about 8.4 million.

This expansion is attributed to Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin activity, including deployment and minting during the period.

While not all new accounts are active users, account growth remains a crucial indicator of network expansion.

The ledger's attempt to broaden its role beyond XRP transfers into stablecoins, tokenized assets, payments, and enterprise-friendly features is reflected in this growth.
