XRP breaks all-time high in number of holders after it passes major milestone
According to data from XRPL Services, the number of XRP account holders has crossed the 4.5 million milestone, reaching an all-time high of 4,506,842 at the time of writing. In the two-and-a-half months since the end of October, the number of XRP holders has increased by 160,000 accounts.
When U.Today reported vertical growth in the number of XRP accounts earlier this month, the number was almost 50,000 below the record mark. Now that gap has closed.
The increase in the number of XRP accounts, in addition to bringing new blood into the ecosystem and increasing its activity, is also leading to a slight increase in the number of XRP held in these accounts and a decrease in the number of them blocked in Ripple Escrow accounts.
So far, there are 56.283 million tokens in XRP accounts. A total of 43.7 million tokens remain blocked in escrow accounts. There has been a small but growing number of empty accounts, of which there are currently 1,005.
XRPL NFT Market Growth
The NFT market on the XRP Ledger, which recently developed as a result of the implementation of the new standard, XLS-20, is also growing rapidly. Since the beginning of December, the number of XRPL NFT offers increased by 8.24% to 85,876, of which 71,917 were sell offers and 13,959 were buy offers.
