The 
XRP Ledger Foundation disclosed on Nov. 12 that its free Ankr-powered nodes were processing more than 1.7 million developer requests per day. The infrastructure was launched in August, according to Crypto.news, which is the only outlet supplied with coverage of the announcement.
The reported metric tracks developer activity rather than node count, transaction volume, or the number of unique users. Crypto.news attributed the figure directly to the foundation’s announcement; no additional outlet independently confirmed the request total or provided a breakdown of its composition.
XRP was trading at $1.031, a 2.64% decline over 24 hours and a 16.30% fall over seven days. Its market capitalization stood at $65.49 billion, while the wider crypto market was broadly lower. 
Bitcoin was down 3.78% over 24 hours, and the overall crypto market capitalization was $2.46 trillion.
Market sentiment also remained subdued, with the Fear and Greed Index reading 28, placing it in the “Fear” category. Against that backdrop, the node-usage update offers a measure of developer interest in XRP Ledger infrastructure rather than a direct signal about near-term token performance.
What to watch next is whether the foundation publishes comparable updates on request activity, node capacity, or the kinds of development workloads using the service. The current disclosure establishes sustained daily use of the free infrastructure, but it does not quantify unique developers or distinguish request types.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, XRP (XRP) has moved from ₹96.76$1.03 to ₹97.14$1.04 — +0.39%.
The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹103.05 (about $1.04), down 2.8% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
