XRP Ledger (XRPL) is far from being a ghost chain as it recently recorded an impressive on-chain transaction boost. Brought to the fore by XPMarket CEO Artur Kirjakulov, XRPL has recorded sustained growth trends since the start of this month.
XRP Ledger transaction growth trends
According to snapshots shared by Kirjakulov, on July 2, the total recorded transactions came in at 1.4 million, with total trades coming in at 60,000. This total transaction count jumped to 1.6 million, with total trades dropping to 51,000 the next day.

The one-week growth accounted for more than 80%, underscoring how healthy the XRP Ledger protocol is. As Kirjakulov noted, many have tried to proffer an explanation for the trend, with the growing user count named as an obvious reason.
Stepping into the conversation, XRPScan noted that the growth of microtransactions is responsible for the uptick in transaction count recorded.
Bandwidth increased for growth
Up to now, XRP Ledger has recorded several milestones and upgrades that have made it as usable as it is now. From the fixAMMOverFlow upgrade to a series of sidechain launches, XRP Ledger has positioned itself as a chain for micropayments.
Gamza KhanzadaevThis growth of XRP Ledger is considered an important push to help XRP in its long-overdue price recovery. With more use cases on the ledger to drive XRP's demands, the coin might ultimately breach the $1 threshold in the long term.
This ambitious projection might also get a complementary push should the Ripple versus SEC lawsuit come to an end soon.
