Its X thread <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/evernorthxrp\/status\/2089774437159879116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">linked the shift with growing institutional interest<\/a>, placing nearly one-quarter of weekday on-chain XRP volume inside the three-hour overlap between London\u2019s afternoon and New York\u2019s morning.<\/p>\n<p>Evernorth stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cXRP\u2019s on-chain market has been growing during banker hours, according to ledger data we looked at last week. It\u2019s consistent with growing institutional interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThree hours a day (London\u2019s afternoon, New York\u2019s morning) now carry ~23% of all the XRP that changes hands on-chain. A year ago it was ~14%,\u201d the firm added.<\/p>\n<p>The chart included in Evernorth\u2019s X post shows a sharp July 2026 concentration of volume during the London-New York overlap, with XRP activity peaking near 10% at 2 p.m. Coordinated Universal Time. The highlighted three-hour period captured 23.5% of weekday on-chain volume, compared with 14.3% during the same July 2025 window, indicating a stronger concentration around traditional financial-market hours.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Pattern Spans Three XRPL Trading Channels<\/h2>\n<p>The same intraday concentration appeared across order-book trades, automated market maker pools, and cross-currency payments routed through ledger liquidity, according to Evernorth. Official <a href=\"https:\/\/xrpl.org\/docs\/concepts\/tokens\/decentralized-exchange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP Ledger exchange documentation<\/a> explains that offers function as limit orders, while automated market makers provide a separate route for swaps. Cross-currency payments can consume available offers while searching for an efficient conversion path.<\/p>\n<p>Evernorth detailed:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe same shift shows up across all three ways to trade on XRPL, including the order book, AMM pools, and cross-currency payments routing through them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier Evernorth research found that activity involving the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin had expanded across those market structures as its share of XRPL trading increased. The RLUSD trading analysis reported <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-gains-from-rlusd-growth-as-900m-trading-boom-deepens-liquidity-evernorth-says\/\">roughly $900 million in RLUSD-XRP volume over six months<\/a>, with order books processing about 80% of trades by 2026 after automated market makers previously held a larger share.<\/p>\n<p>Broader adoption indicators have also moved alongside on-chain trading activity, although those measures do not establish who generated the three-hour concentration. XRP ecosystem data showed approximately <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-sees-triple-adoption-boost-as-tokenized-assets-reach-4-billion-etf-demand-stays-strong\/\">$4 billion in tokenized assets on XRPL<\/a>, eight consecutive weeks of spot exchange-traded fund inflows and a roughly 40% increase in new wallets during late June.<\/p>\n<h2>Ledger Timing Suggests Institutional Activity, Not Proof<\/h2>\n<p>The London-New York overlap carries significance across global finance as both centers operate simultaneously, creating a major liquidity period for foreign exchange markets. A previous <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/evernorth-highlights-xrps-actual-story-beyond-jpmorgan-settlement-attention\/\">institutional XRPL transaction<\/a> connected Ripple, Mastercard, Ondo Finance, and J.P. Morgan\u2019s Kinexys through a tokenized Treasury redemption, demonstrating that established financial companies have used the ledger within coordinated settlement workflows.<\/p>\n<p>Evernorth has a financial interest in expanding XRP\u2019s institutional role, making clear attribution essential when presenting its interpretation. The company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/evernorth-details-xrp-treasury-strategy-in-s-4-filing-with-sec-targeting-nasdaq\/\">XRP treasury strategy<\/a> centers on actively managing XRP through a proposed public-market structure backed by Ripple and other investors. Its filings described more than $1 billion in expected gross proceeds and a planned Nasdaq listing.<\/p>\n<p>Public blockchain records reveal transactions, timing, and market routes, but they generally do not disclose the identities behind participating accounts. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/blockchain-tech\/layer-1s\/what-is-ripple-xrp-ledger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP Ledger\u2019s design<\/a> enables rapid settlement, token trading, and cross-border payments through a decentralized network, allowing analysts to observe activity without confirming whether a bank, trading firm, individual, or automated system initiated it.<\/p>\n<p>Evernorth noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNothing about XRP closes at 5 pm. But we\u2019re definitely seeing some rush hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/xrp-sees-23-of-onchain-trading-volume-in-a-three-hour-trading-window\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Three weekday hours accounted for 23.5% of July\u2019s on-chain XRP volume.
