The XRP Ledger has surpassed 3 billion transactions without experiencing significant downtime since its launch in 2012, setting a new industry benchmark.
Unmatched Transaction Throughput
As of March 25, 2025, XRPL has processed between 3.15 and 3.4 billion transactions. By September 2023, the network had already exceeded 2.6 billion transactions, surpassing Ethereum at the time. It consistently handles 1 to 1.5 million transactions per day, thus crossing the 3 billion mark.
XRPL vs. Bitcoin and Ethereum
XRPL’s transaction count stands out when compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin has processed approximately 1 billion transactions since 2009, while Ethereum’s count ranges between 2.5 billion and 3 billion. XRPL quietly outpaced both, positioning itself ahead in scalability and efficiency.
What Makes XRPL So Efficient?
Several key factors contribute to XRPL’s efficiency, such as transaction settlement in 3 to 5 seconds and very low fees ($0.000024 per transaction). It supports up to 1,500 transactions per second without congestion. Also, its integrated DEX enables direct asset trading, making XRPL a preferred choice for financial institutions.
With over 3 billion transactions and high efficiency, the XRP Ledger proves to be one of the most reliable blockchains, indicating its potential role in international financial operations.
