A sustained rally still depends on broader market demand and continued buying interest across both institutional and retail participants.<\/p>\n<h2>XRPL network activity reaches important milestone<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond price action, the XRP Ledger has also recorded stronger network usage.<\/p>\n<p>Daily payment activity on the XRPL recently climbed above 500,000 transactions, marking one of the strongest levels of network utilisation in recent months.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365723\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/payment-transaction-on-XRPL.png\" alt=\"XRPL payment transaction\" width=\"1789\" height=\"627\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Payment volume is one of the key indicators used to measure blockchain activity because it reflects how frequently the network is being used for transfers and settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The increase in payment activity comes alongside growing development across the XRPL ecosystem, including projects focused on integrating artificial intelligence with blockchain infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>While these initiatives are still developing, they point to broader activity taking place beyond simple token trading.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/xrp-price-eyes-breakout-as-golden-cross-whale-accumulation-and-xrpl-activity-surge\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) XRP holds above the $1.13 breakout level.
