- XRP Ledger surpasses 7 million active accounts, per XRPScan data.
- Active means accounts holding at least 1 XRP, not based on usage frequency.
- Circulating supply stands at 64.6B, with over 35B still in escrow.
XRPScan, a leading explorer for the XRP Ledger, just confirmed a new milestone—active accounts on XRPL have crossed the 7 million mark. In its update, the platform shared a snapshot from its distribution dashboard, showing a total of 7,000,768 accounts currently counted as active. Alongside the number, the dashboard also displayed key supply metrics, giving a clear view of the network’s latest state.
Breaking Down XRP Supply Metrics
According to the data, XRP’s maximum supply remains fixed at 100 billion tokens, while the total available supply sits at 99,985,797,573 XRP. Of that, 14,202,427 XRP have been permanently burned, reducing the total over time. Around 35.3 billion XRP are still locked in escrow, leaving the circulating supply at roughly 64.6 billion. These figures help paint a broader picture of XRP’s token distribution and how much is actively in the market versus being held back.
What Counts as an Active Account?
Not everyone defines “active” the same way, so XRPScan clarified its criteria in response to a user’s question. For an account to be counted as active, it simply needs to hold the minimum required balance—1 XRP at present. This means activity here isn’t about how often transactions are made or whether the wallet is being used daily, but whether it maintains the basic reserve needed to exist on the ledger. It’s a low threshold, but it ensures accounts are accounted for in the total.
Why This Milestone Matters for XRP Ledger
Seven million accounts may not sound massive compared to global payment systems, but it shows steady growth and continued adoption of XRPL over time. The update highlights how many participants are at least maintaining a presence on the ledger, even if not all are transacting heavily. While the snapshot is focused on counts and supply rather than deeper usage metrics, it still marks an important checkpoint in XRP Ledger’s evolution. It reflects resilience and provides a measurable marker of progress as the network continues to expand.
