The XRP Ledger recorded a sharp increase in on-chain activity, with newly created accounts rising 535.2% to 2,900 and active accounts increasing 218.1% to 15,300. Successful transactions climbed 80.8% to 1.7 million, total transactions rose 138.7% to 2.4 million, and payments increased 108.9% to 1.2 million. Payment volume jumped 894.3% to about 704.2 million XRP, while XRP destroyed through fee burn (permanently removing transaction fees) rose 225.7% to 300.3 XRP. The network's growth coincided with an XRP/USD rebound from roughly $1.05 to nearly $1.70 in late August, followed by trading near $1.53. However, active users declined 70.6% to 140,000, suggesting that the higher activity may have been concentrated among a smaller group of more active participants rather than reflecting broader user growth.
