   Report questions XRP price against XRP Ledger activity

   2 outlets · first: fool.com Altcoins

   Machine summary CFA questioned whether XRP's price reflects what the XRP Ledger currently delivers, noting the token recently traded between $1.06 and $1.12 and had a market value of about $70 billion. Citing DeFiLlama, CFA said the XRP Ledger saw $2.87 million of trading and $378 in transaction fees over a 24-hour period. CFA said that visible network activity did not yet clearly justify XRP's market value and that Ripple's business growth may not necessarily create more demand for XRP.

   1. According to the report, DeFiLlama recently showed only $2.87 million of trading on the XRP Ledger over 24 hours, with users paying just $378 in transaction fees.
