On-chain metrics: A Roadblock To Ripple Recovery?

On-chain metrics represent a vital role in the achievement of most digital currencies. Learning the signals from the benefits of the metric, investors make informed decisions.

As per data from Santiment, the number of new addresses connecting the XRP has diminished over the last 30 days. In addition, the XRP price has been falling in tandem with the addresses. For instance, from a 30-day high of nearly 4,800 addresses created on May 24, XRP created only 2,055 addresses on the network on June 23.

On May 24, Ripple exchanged hands at $0.86, but the price had fallen to $0.64 on June 23. Decreasing network growth is usually a bearish signal, ascertaining that the project is losing traction. Hence, if the metric fails to turn around, XRP price will likely delay recovery or continue exploring the rabbit hole.
