XRP trading volumes also climbed, with average daily volumes between $600 million and $700 million on major exchanges and a 27% increase in the XRP/BTC ratio.
Transaction counts on the XRP Ledger nearly doubled, though much of this activity was from low-value microtransactions likely linked to spam, limiting the effect on overall volume.
Meanwhile, Total Value Locked (TVL) within Ripple’s Automated Market Makers (AMMs) rose from $8.5 million to $16.2 million, while transaction fees on the network dropped by 32%, making XRP transactions more cost-effective amid growing usage.
