XRPL Transactions Hit 2-Year High as XRP Seen ‘Less Exposed’ to Quantum Threats Than Bitcoin

The daily number of transactions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has surged to a two-year high, pointing to increased network adoption. The rise is also occurring alongside expanding tokenization activity and improving performance in several XRPL-related metrics.

XRPL activity reaches two-year high

Daily XRPL transactions climbed above 5 million this week, marking a two-year high for this metric. The network has continued to see broader use, particularly in tokenization.

Tokenization platform progress and RWA growth

SBI Ripple Asia has completed its token issuance platform on the XRPL for regulated token issuance, according to CoinGape. As part of this tokenization push, data cited from RWA.xyz shows gains across key XRPL real-world asset (RWA) measures.

Over the last 30 days, the represented RWA value on the XRPL rose by more than 2% to $1.53 billion. During the same period, the number of RWA holders increased by 4%, and the stablecoin market on the network grew by 8%.

Quantum risk comparison: XRP vs. Bitcoin

Alongside the transaction surge, experts have argued that XRP may be less exposed to quantum threats than Bitcoin. CoinGape cited an analysis by XRPL validator Vet indicating that only 0.03% of the total XRP supply is exposed to quantum risks.

The analysis attributes this to native, protocol-level key rotation supported by the XRPL, which helps shield public keys that could otherwise be vulnerable to quantum computers. In contrast, Google’s recent quantum research warning highlighted Bitcoin’s greater risk of an on-chain attack, including the possibility that it could take about 9 minutes for a superconducting qubit CRQC to derive private keys from public keys and forge a BTC transaction.

Whale accumulation signals and exchange outflows

Crypto analyst Xaif pointed to on-chain data suggesting increased accumulation by XRP whales. He cited Binance’s cumulative net flow at -$11.23 billion, indicating more XRP is leaving the exchange than entering it.

CoinGape previously reported that these whale accounts have turned bullish, with CryptoQuant data showing the Whale Flow 30DMA reached a 10-month high—an indicator consistent with increased buying activity among large holders.

Open interest drops as buying activity rises

Xaif also noted that XRP open interest has fallen sharply, dropping from under $2.4 billion to under $600 million as buying activity increases. He described this as a reduction in leverage and supply on exchanges, framing it as a “coil” forming before a potential move.
