The Q1 market report of Ripple's XRP Ledger (XRPL) indicates a surge in network activity, with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) being the driving force.

Over 2,000 NFT collections, such as XPUNKS and Bored Apes, exist on XRPL, accumulating over 22 million in cumulative volume.
XRPL saw a 9% increase in transactions to 116 million and a 34% increase in decentralized exchange volumes to $115 million during Q1.
In the same period, traders on the network burned 140,900 units of the asset for transaction fees.
