XRP Ledger Sees Record-Breaking Spike in New Accounts

The XRP Ledger experienced a significant surge in new accounts on September 24, 2026, with 11,432 new addresses crossing the funding threshold and being persisted on-chain.

This number is more than triple the 30-day average of around 2,700 to 3,000 new accounts per day, according to XRPScan data.

The increase in new accounts coincided with a price surge for XRP, which rose from $1.40 to $1.60 on September 24, with trading volume reaching approximately $7.4 billion.

However, experts caution that this spike may not necessarily indicate organic growth, as it could be the result of various factors such as exchange batch funding, custody migrations, or airdrop farming.
