The XRP Ledger network acquired over 30,000 new users in a single day, laying a strong foundation for long-term price recovery.

According to U.Today, a cryptocurrency specialized media outlet, on April 17 (local time), a total of 35,471 new accounts were created on the XRP Ledger network on the 15th. This is the highest figure since March 7. The number of daily active accounts also surged to 86,183. With the sharp increase in network activity, market attention is focused.

The explosive increase in new accounts is usually interpreted as a precursor to a price rebound. Santiment data analysis shows that the influx of market participants is at an all-time high. The decision by large companies like Rakuten to adopt XRP in their payment systems has acted as a key driver for the influx of new subscribers. As network usage increases, the intrinsic value of the asset grows.

The technical confidence of institutional investors has also been further strengthened. Privacy protection features have been enhanced by integrating zero-knowledge proof technology through the Boundless Protocol. Ripple Prime has been listed in the directory of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), an institution under the US Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). This means that Wall Street's clearing system and the XRP Ledger are technically linked.

Technical indicators suggest a shift to a buyer-dominated market. A bullish crossover signal appeared in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) index, signaling the end of the downtrend. XRP is currently attempting to reclaim major resistance levels at $1.41 and $1.45. There is also a clear trend of whale investors withdrawing their holdings from exchanges and moving them to personal wallets. New buying interest is entering the market, supporting the price as market supply decreases.

Ripple plans to invest $550 million for ecosystem expansion in 2026. Large-scale infrastructure expansion stimulates the actual demand for XRP. Surpassing 30,000 new users is key data proving network growth. As the virtual asset market matures, network utility is becoming a decisive indicator for price.
