XRPL had an excellent February performance – but the price does not reflect it
- XRPL shone with the best performance in February. On-chain data shows a network that is running at full speed, both technically and operationally. Nevertheless, the XRP price is falling.
- This discrepancy shapes the current situation, and the community is discussing the question: Why is this?
Die Activity on the XRP Ledger broke several records in February. The number of confirmed payments rose to over 2.7 million – more than twice as many as at the end of December. Analysts report around two million transactions per day and around 40,000 active addresses.
The new Automated Market Maker is developing particularly dynamically, growing steadily since its introduction and recording over 14,000 deposits in February. In parallel, two functions were activated with permissioned domains and a permissioned DEX, which offer institutional investors controlled environments for liquidity and trading.
Strong Fundamentals – Npositive Course trend
While XRPL reaches record levels, the XRP price remains in a downward trend. At the end of February, the token was trading around 45 percent below its annual high. Several factors are increasing the selling pressure: Large wallets are increasingly transferring XRP to exchanges, which indicates sales.
Realized losses reach levels last seen in 2022. There is also the problem of chaotic regulation in the USA. The result: Institutional investors are holding back.
Speculation about SWIFT and ETF
Rumors of a confidential meeting between representatives from SWIFT and Ripple Labs are causing additional speculation. The integration of XRPL into international payment structures would be a step forward.
There are also rumors circulating again about a Ripple ETF that could trigger new capital flows. However, this scenario would depend heavily on regulatory practices and associated market sentiment.
Market between strength and skepticism
The situation is paradoxical: The XRP Ledger is more active and technically effective than it has been in years, while the price is under selling pressure. Some observers interpret this as a flash of a cyclical low, others expect continued volatility.
Another possibility, no less close or distant, is that the price could follow the fundamental data and rise.
