Ripple is donating $300,000 to World Central Kitchen and Mercy Corps to support emergency relief after catastrophic flooding swept through Nepal and Tibet, killing hundreds and leaving thousands missing. The August 26 disaster began after a Himalayan glacier collapse sent ice, rock, mud and water into river valleys near the Nepal-China border. The combined toll had reached 750 deaths and 3,044 missing by Sunday, with 734 confirmed deaths in Nepal and another 16 in Tibet as rescue teams continued searching…

XRP Ledger activity has exploded during one of XRP's strongest rallies of 2026, with active addresses jumping 654.7% from 47,180 to 356,070 as the token gained more than 50% in seven days. The surge in active addresses captures unique addresses participating in transactions across the network and comes as XRP pushes into its highest price range in months. Network activity has also been running well above its recent baseline, with August daily active addresses averaging roughly 35,700 compared with 26,400…

XRP wallets holding between 100,000 and 100 million tokens increased their combined balances by 2.8% over the past five weeks, adding to their positions as the token recovered from its late-June lows. The accumulation covered the wallet tiers Santiment classifies as XRP sharks and whales. Its wallet distribution chart tracked the increase alongside a 5.2% reduction in balances held by wallets containing less than 0.01 XRP.

XRP traded near $1.09 on Thursday as buyers struggled to clear a short-term symmetrical triangle whose upper boundary sits around $1.13. The token moved between $1.09 and $1.12 over the latest 24-hour period, with trading volume near $1.05 billion and market capitalization around $68.3 billion. XRP remained nearly flat over seven days and about 70% below its July 2025 record of $3.65. The hourly triangle places XRP close to a volatility break after several sessions of contracting price action. A…

Whale activity on the XRP Ledger has dropped sharply, with the daily number of transactions worth more than $1 million falling from 70 during the past week to just two today. The million-dollar transaction count has declined by roughly 97% from the recent peak, marking a sudden pullback in large-value movement across the network. Santiment’s metric tracks transfers above the $1 million threshold. It does not separate purchases, sales, exchange deposits, custody movements or transfers between wallets controlled by the…

XRP Ledger activity has dropped to one of its weakest readings of 2026, with 25,350 active wallets marking the network’s second-lowest daily count of the year. New wallet creation also fell to 2,130, the lowest level since November 2024. The decline follows late-June dip-buying activity and puts XRP back into a quieter market phase, with traders waiting for a stronger catalyst instead of chasing another short-range bounce.

Ripple signed a multi-year partnership with Kansas Athletics that will put XRP jersey patches on Jayhawks uniforms, making the cryptocurrency part of one of the first major college sports sponsorship deals under the NCAA’s new patch rule. The deal covers all Kansas Athletics team uniforms and was created with Learfield through Jayhawk Sports Properties, the multimedia rights holder that manages Kansas sponsorships, signage, advertising rights and jersey-patch inventory. Kansas framed the arrangement around XRP branding, financial education and technology access.…

U.S. spot XRP ETFs logged $15.34 million in net inflows on June 29, adding another institutional demand signal while XRP held close to the $1 support area. Bitwise led the session with $11.94 million of net inflows into its XRP product, while Canary Capital’s XRPC followed with $3.40 million. The flow was not a direct corporate treasury purchase by Bitwise or Canary. It reflected client demand through the ETF wrapper, where capital entering the funds increases XRP exposure through regulated…

XRP Ledger activity jumped while price action stayed under pressure, with 4,941 new wallets created in one day. The spike marked XRP’s strongest daily network-growth reading in more than three months, arriving as the token traded close to the $1.00 support area. XRP changed hands near $1.04 after falling to about $1.01 on June 25, its weakest level in 19 months. The new-wallet surge gives traders a fresh onchain signal during a fragile price setup, but address creation alone does…
