A recent analysis by Vibhu, a longtime engineer and XRP supporter, highlights the current state of XRP’s network activity. While Ripple envisions XRP as a global payment solution bridging financial systems, it currently struggles to achieve widespread adoption due to limitations in user engagement and transaction volume. 2025 data suggests that XRP faces a significant challenge in competing with Solana, particularly when measured by daily active users, transaction frequency, and overall economic activity within the ecosystem. The analysis cites a stark comparison: while XRP boasts relatively low transaction costs, it experiences just a fraction of the user engagement and real-world volume compared to rivals like Solana. Vibhu’s findings challenge the notion that low fees alone can drive network growth, suggesting a need for strategic improvements in adoption channels to realize Ripple’s vision for XRP. 2025’s continued analysis demands transparency from the XRP community and calls for increased focus on tangible progress, not just hope, if XRP is to achieve its full potential.
