We track the XRP Ledger's operating metrics the way an analyst would track a payment network: daily transactions, active and new accounts, settlement speed, validator health, RLUSD supply, native DEX and AMM activity, the XRP burn rate, and the market-side figures (price, cap, derivatives, ETF flows). We compute week-over-week changes and compare against the trailing four weeks, then answer one question: what actually happened last week?
Twenty-two sourced metrics for the digestion week: a quiet $1.45–$1.55 tape closing at $1.520 (+0.7% calculated), escrow stepping down from 31.98B to 31.54B on the month's one-billion release, ETF inflows at +$4.74M with the complex's net assets falling $133M behind its cumulative flows, RLUSD crossing $2.5B on the widest four-read spread yet, payment volume spiking 35% on September 29, and futures OI carried at its $4.10B September 23 record — every line with its source and snapshot date.
