On-chain analytics&nbsp;firm&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1786226227873042568" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Santiment</a> has highlighted growth in nonempty XRP wallets. In a tweet, Santiment compares the growth of nonempty wallets among top market caps in the past&nbsp;six&nbsp;months, presenting the net change in this metric within the specified time&nbsp;frame.
The number of nonempty wallets holding XRP soared to an astounding 5.2 million within the last six months, representing 7% growth. According to XRP Ledger services, an XRP Ledger explorer, the current count for accounts on XRP Ledger is 5,183,760,&nbsp;which&nbsp;holds a massive 59,778,941,576 XRP. Out of these numbers, a meager 1,939 addresses had zero balances.&nbsp;

The growth in nonempty wallets might suggest the influx of new users and investors entering the XRP ecosystem.&nbsp;
As <a href="https://u.today/xrp-forms-death-cross-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> gains traction as a mainstream asset, more people want to buy and hold XRP tokens,&nbsp;which leads&nbsp;to an increase in&nbsp;the number of&nbsp;active wallets.
A rising number of newcomers are joining the XRP ecosystem.&nbsp;Ripple CEO <a href="https://twitter.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1786116367076450328" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brad Garlinghouse</a> expressed excitement at the increase in the amount of XRP community-led events this year, including the XRP Gold Coast event in March, as well as&nbsp;the XRP Las Vegas and XRPL apex.&nbsp;Garlinghouse expressed excitement about additional native capabilities for projects built on the Ledger, signaling that momentum is increasing.&nbsp;

According to <a href="https://twitter.com/santimentfeed/status/1786172685984391473" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Santiment</a>, XRP Ledger has seen a&nbsp;large&nbsp;movement of dormant tokens to start the month of May.&nbsp;The Token Age Consumed metric shows that this is&nbsp;surprisingly&nbsp;similar to the spike in old coins&nbsp;being moved&nbsp;seen&nbsp;on April 13, just before markets tanked and XRP dropped -16% in value.
This time around, however, there is an argument that this old coin movement is related to potential buy-the-dip interest from key stakeholders, and prices have been rising somewhat since the May spike.
Likewise, open interest on exchanges has reached a three-week high. On May 2, XRP's total open interest on exchanges reached $483.4 million, the most since April 13.
