CryptoQuant: XRP velocity hits annual high, on-chain activity increases significantly

ChainCatcher news, CryptoQuant’s analysis indicates that the velocity metric of XRP Ledger has broken its annual high, reaching 0.0324, marking a significant increase in network economic activity and on-chain transaction volume. This metric measures how frequently assets circulate within the network; a high velocity indicates that XRP tokens are rapidly changing hands among market participants rather than being held long-term. This phenomenon reflects high market liquidity as well as active participation from traders or significant fund movements from large holders (whales). Regardless of market direction, the data confirms that the XRP network is experiencing one of its most active periods in 2025, with user engagement peaking. Analysts believe that such surges in on-chain activity often signal major potential market shifts and are worth close attention from investors.
