XRP Ledger is experiencing an eye-catching increase in network activity, with new addresses created in an epic manner and total addresses interacting at their highest levels in four months.
Thus, according to Santiment, XRPL is one of July's top-performing blockchains, with 1,721 new wallets created in a single day — the most since the end of March. More to the point, 47,363 individual addresses interacted on the network, the highest number since the beginning.

This surge in addresses coincides with a roller coaster of price action for XRP. The popular cryptocurrency saw its price soar by 50% earlier in the month before experiencing a 14% decline. As of now, the XRP price stands at $0.56, still marking its highest level in three months.
