The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has reached a significant milestone in its Automated Market Maker (AMM) activity.
On October 27, the network recorded an impressive trading volume of $3.9 million, largely fueled by the recent surge in meme cryptocurrencies following the launch of First Ledger, a platform designed to mimic Solana’s popular Pump.fun and referred to as the “meme coin factory.”
Although this influx of tokens has generated excitement, many of these newly minted cryptocurrencies lack inherent value. At present, the DROP meme coin stands out with a market capitalization of $6.92 million, while other tokens like BEAR and FLIPPY follow with $3.66 million and $1.45 million, respectively.
For context, Dogecoin, the most recognized meme cryptocurrency, has a staggering market cap of $20.2 billion.
While the sustainability of this trend remains uncertain, it has undoubtedly sparked renewed interest in the XRPL. David Schwartz, Ripple’s chief technology officer, recently commented that although the company could have pursued a meme coin or an initial coin offering (ICO) for additional funding, it chose not to as it didn’t require more capital.
Meanwhile, AMM liquidity on the XRPL has seen substantial growth, with MAG, the native token of the Magnetic project, emerging as a leader in pool size on the XPMarket. Additionally, the DROP/XRP trading pair has become one of the largest AMM pools on the XRP Ledger.
