XRP Ledger Sees Sharp Decline In Major Metric That Threatens To Send XRP Price To $0.2

Ripple’s Q2 2024 market report recently highlighted a decline in a crucial on-chain metric that could significantly impact the the XRP price. This decline in network activity and several other factors threaten to send the crypto token to new lows soon enough. XRP Records Decline In On-chain Transactions According to the report, on-chain transactions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) declined by 65.6% in the second quarter of 2024. 86.38 million transactions were recorded during this period, compared to 251.39 million in the first quarter of this year. A drop in the network activity is significant as it highlights investors’ sentiment towards the XRP ecosystem. Related Reading: Wondering When To Buy Bitcoin? Here Are The Levels To Watch This decline in network activity can also negatively impact the XRP price, especially if this trend continues in the third quarter of the year. A plausible explanation for the decline in on-chain transactions for the XRPL in the second quarter is XRP’s underperformance in the first quarter of the year. High expectations for XRP heading into the new year may have prompted investors to increase their exposure to the crypto, which led to the highs in network activity recorded in the first quarter. However, these investors may have had a rethink as XRP failed to reach new highs even when Bitcoin hit a new all-time high (ATH), leading to a decline in network activity in the second quarter. The silver lining is that XRP investors have regained their bullish sentiment towards XRP, leading to increased network activity. Bitcoinist recently reported a spike in new addresses and the number of addresses interacting on the XRPL, with these metrics reaching their highest levels since March earlier this year. The revived bullish sentiment among XRP investors is mainly thanks to the belief that the lawsuit between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple could end soon, presenting a bullish outlook for XRP’s price. However, if that doesn’t happen soon enough, XRP is at risk of witnessing a significant price decline as activity on the XRPL drops. Other Factors That Could Contribute To A Crash For The XRP Price The bearish sentiment in the broader crypto market is another factor that could contribute to massive price declines for XRP. Bitcoin is currently struggling to hold above $50,000, and the flagship crypto could send altcoins like XRP crashing if it continues to drop to new lows. XRP is also well-placed to be among the altcoins that will be most affected, seeing how the crypto token has so far reacted to Bitcoin’s recent crash below $60,000.

The SEC has asked Judge Analisa to award a fine of $102.6 million against Ripple, which is way above the $10 million that the crypto firm proposed. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.46, down over 16% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
