The XRP Ledger (XRPL) network saw its active addresses decline by 7,902 over the four days leading up to March 23. After a spike to a local high of 26,358 on March 19, XRPL’s active addresses fell sharply in the following days, hovering around 15,456 at the time of reporting, according to on-chain analytics from CryptoQuant.
