- XRPL hits 100 million, marking unmatched blockchain consistency.
- Technical charts hint at breakout potential amid renewed XRP interest.
- Institutional recognition and network growth boost confidence in XRP.
XRPL has crossed a historic threshold, having hit 100 million validated ledgers. This means that over 100 million times, the network has reached consensus, verified transactions, and closed ledgers without interruption.

The timing of this milestone couldn’t be more telling. During the Ripple Swell conference, the Nasdaq CEO described XRPL as a model for scalable digital infrastructure that could help power the U.S. economy.
David Schwartz on XRPL
Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, captured the spirit of this moment. Schwartz points out that the XRP Ledger was designed for independence. Transactions cannot be frozen, reversed, or taxed by intermediaries.
He went on to add that XRP’s special position on XRPL allows it to capture part of the value created by on-chain activity. It remains the only counterparty-free asset accessible across jurisdictions without risk of freeze or clawback. This is a trait that strengthens its credibility as a neutral settlement asset.
On the same day, XRP traded near $2.27, up 1.47% in 24 hours based on CoinMarketCap data. The numbers suggest the achievement may be doing more than boosting morale, but also feeding market confidence.
XRP’s trading volume jumped more than 13% in 24 hours. This is a sign that traders are reacting to the milestone rather than ignoring it. With 60.1 billion XRP in circulation, liquidity across exchanges remains deep enough to support volatility spikes.
What stands out is that XRPL’s operation achieved 100 million ledgers closed without downtime. Few blockchains have sustained that level of performance for this long. Financial institutions might go looking into tokenized assets and real-world settlement use cases on XRPL.
Possible Reaction to XRP Price
Previous milestones on XRPL saw the XRP price spike. This was seen when the ledger hit 50 million in 2019 and 80 million in 2023. XRP experienced a significant rise in trade activity. Analysts predict a similar occurrence now that the network has reached nine digits.
Schwartz’s belief that “XRP will capture the value that XRP Ledger transactions generate” underscores that thesis. The more frequently XRP Ledger is used for payments, staking, and tokenization, the greater the potential impact on XRP’s valuation.
Charts from analyst Gert van Lagen show something striking. On the monthly timeframe, XRP appears to be forming a massive cup-and-handle pattern, the same structure that preceded its explosive rallies in 2017 and again in 2021.
According to the trend, the next quantifiable objective can be between $11 and $15 if XRP is able to stay above $1.80. The shaded green zones on his chart indicate accumulation stages that preceded significant upswings. The long arrow pointing higher reflects previous breakouts. That early breakout pattern is consistent with the recent response around the $2 range.

It is evident that past trends and this new ledger milestone are related. Higher speculative and transactional demand for a network’s native token is frequently a result of a stronger, more active network.
The milestone validates XRP Ledger’s resilience, but it also resets expectations. XRP’s market narrative is shifting from courtroom headlines to network performance and real-world usage. With strong technical setups, rising liquidity, and institutional recognition, the asset may finally be stepping into a phase where its price reflects its ecosystem’s growth.
