XRP's Rush Hour: Institutional Trading Patterns Shift to Traditional Market Hours

XRP's on-chain trading volume has seen a significant shift in recent years, according to new research from Evernorth. The Japanese financial group found that a three-hour window between 13:00 and 16:00 UTC now accounts for nearly a quarter of all weekday XRP trading volume.

This overlap period, when London's afternoon session runs concurrently with New York's morning, has long defined global currency markets. Evernorth's analysis shows that the concentration of volume during this time has doubled from 14.3% to 23.5% over the past year.

The trend is observed across all three major trading routes within the XRP Ledger ecosystem: traditional order books, automated market maker pools, and cross-currency settlement channels. This suggests that institutional users are systematically utilizing familiar business windows to enhance predictability and align blockchain activity with established financial industry practices.
