Key Takeaways

• AI agents have completed more than 2 million transactions on the XRP Ledger.

• The AI transaction boom is unlikely to affect XRP's price yet, but billions of transactions could change that.

• Motley Fool analyst Dominic Basulto sees XRP approaching $4 by the end of 2027.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has reached a new milestone, with AI agents now responsible for more than 2 million transactions on the network.

Data from XRPL-AI puts the cumulative number of agentic transactions at over 2.09 million, as software agents increasingly use XRP and Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin to purchase digital services.

It comes as Motley Fool analyst Dominic Basulto has outlined a bullish case in which XRP could approach $4 by the end of 2027.

AI Agents Have Now Made More Than 2 Million XRPL Transactions

The agentic payment market developing on XRPL allows AI software to autonomously buy services and settle invoices using XRP or RLUSD.

According to XRPL-AI figures, AI agents have completed more than 2,094,121 transactions, settling approximately 5,112.89 XRP and 2,281.96 RLUSD.

At an XRP price near $1, that puts the combined settlement value at only around $7,400 — an extremely small amount compared with the number of transactions being processed.

That works out to an average payment of roughly $0.0035 per transaction.

However, the milestone has arrived quickly.

XRPL passed 1 million reported agentic transactions in July before subsequently crossing the 2 million threshold.

Reports surrounding the earlier milestone had already highlighted AI-agent payments as a growing XRPL use case.

Will 2 Million AI Transactions Actually Affect the XRP Price?

Despite the rapidly rising transaction count, the economic value behind AI transactions remains too small to generate substantial direct buying pressure for XRP.

There is also a difference between XRPL adoption and XRP demand.

Transactions conducted using XRP can contribute directly to usage of the native asset.

But XRPL also supports other currencies and tokenized assets, including RLUSD.

Higher network activity does not automatically mean an equivalent increase in demand for XRP.

However, an AI economy operating at a dramatically greater scale could eventually become more relevant to XRP.

The more immediate bullish case for XRP comes from elsewhere.

Why Dominic Basulto Thinks XRP Price Could Reach Nearly $4

Motley Fool analyst Dominic Basulto believes 2027 could potentially become XRP's strongest year yet, eyeing a price increase to $4.

One of the biggest is regulatory clarity.
