XRP Ledger Sees Great Uptick in New Wallets

According to recent data provided by analytics firm Santiment, the XRP Ledger has recorded 21,595 new XRP wallets within just 48 hours.

Notably, this is the highest level of growth that the XRP Ledger has recorded in roughly eight months.  

The XRP price has also experienced a notable price increase, surging by 14% over the past 24 hours.  

As reported by U.Today, the XRP Ledger, which was originally launched in 2012, recently surpassed a total of 100 million ledgers, which is a huge milestone for the network.  

"13 years of XRP ledger -- big thank you to all the validators, node operators, infrastructure providers, builders, apps, users and every other person that is part of the XRP community!" Long said in a recent social media post. 

"On XRP sounds better"

In the meantime, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently weighed in on the distinction between XRP and XRPL. 

It is correct to say that something runs on XRPL since it is the ledger network. 

However, some users acknowledge that "on XRP" sounds  way better, even though it’s not technically accurate

Garlinghouse recently supported this point of view in a recent social media post. "I agree, on XRP sounds better," he said. 

As reported by U.Today, Garlinghouse previously stated that XRP remains "at the center" of everything that Ripple does. 

Partnership with Mastercard 

Recently, Ripple announced that it has joined forces with payments giant Mastercard and US cryptocurrency exchange Gemini in order to test fiat card transactions on the XRP ledger.   

As reported by U.Today, Gemini rolled out an XRP-focused version of its card earlier this year.
