Ripple’s vision for XRP has always been clear — to transform global payments through speed, efficiency, and scale. Supporters see it as a bridge currency that could unify the financial world. Yet, despite this powerful vision, success depends not on hope but on measurable progress. Recent network data shows a sobering gap between belief and actual traction. Vibhu’s Candid Assessment A longtime engineer and analyst, Vibhu shared a detailed post on X, highlighting XRP’s real performance metrics. His argument is not anti-Ripple but pro-truth. He insists that the community must confront facts rather than rely on faith. Vibhu’s observations are based on data from XRPSCAN, a highly trusted source for XRP Ledger analytics. I want Ripple and XRP to succeed at an insane degree such that the entire industry moves forward. But the fact is that the community does not argue with facts, even though the data is readily available. And as a longtime engineer and truth seeker, that bothers me. It is totally… pic.twitter.com/2U6tOmG8sI — vibhu (@vibhu) November 1, 2025 XRPL’s User Activity Stagnation According to XRPSCAN, daily active accounts on the XRP Ledger hover around 25,000 . That figure has shown little to no improvement over the last three years. In contrast, Solana currently averages over 2.5 million daily active accounts, about 100 times higher than XRP’s. This gulf in user activity reveals how far XRP still needs to grow in adoption and engagement. Payments and Transaction Comparison XRP’s “successful payments” metric has grown roughly 50% year-over-year. However, total daily transactions, around 1.5 million per day, pale in comparison to Solana’s 100 million daily average. Both networks offer ultra-low transaction fees, yet Solana appears to attract more consistent, high-volume activity. That reality questions the long-held assumption that low fees alone can guarantee network growth.

Meanwhile, Solana processed nearly $2 trillion in stablecoin transfers in October alone, according to verified Blockworks data. Even after removing suspected bot activity, the gap remains vast. This signals Solana’s growing role as a settlement layer for real-world digital value. Debunking the “Bot Theory” Some XRP supporters argue that bots influence Solana’s. Vibhu counters that claim using verified analytics that exclude wash trading. Given that both Solana and XRP have similar transaction costs, it is unlikely bots would target one chain over the other. Without evidence, this argument fails to explain the disparity in activity. The Takeaway for XRP Holders None of this means XRP cannot win. Ripple sustains its growth through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, leveraging its established resources. Yet, the reality is clear — current network traction remains mediocre when compared to competitors. Investors and builders should track data closely and demand transparency. A Call for Measured Optimism Vibhu’s analysis is not a dismissal of XRP’s future. It is a call for data-driven optimism. Belief should follow evidence, not precede it. If XRP adoption accelerates in payments, stablecoins, and on-chain finance, then its long-awaited breakout could finally begin. Until then, facts — not feelings — should guide the community’s conviction. Disclaimer: This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
