New data comparing the adoption of digital assets to the early era of the Internet suggests that XRP is still in its infancy. According to the latest data, the current level of XRP adoption reflects the Internet user base from as far back as 1992, indicating that the market remains in its early stages despite growing global interest in blockchain and crypto technologies.

The Internet, after its launch in 1991, was initially met with skepticism. Many early media reports downplayed its long-term potential. However, over three decades, Internet adoption has grown to over 5 billion users, or about 68% of the global population, based on statistics from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). This historical growth model is now used as a benchmark to assess cryptocurrency adoption, particularly the progress of XRP.

The broader cryptocurrency market has also drawn parallels with the early growth trajectory of the Internet. Analysts and enthusiasts are increasingly referencing historical comparisons to argue that digital assets are still in the early stages of adoption. For example, recently, the founder of Alpha Lions Academy and XRP advocate Edoardo Farina shared a chart comparing the current number of cryptocurrency users with the number of Internet users in 2002.

"He shared a chart comparing the current number of cryptocurrency users with the number of Internet users in 2002, both around 560 million," the disclosure report noted.

This comparison aligns with the latest Triple-A report, which estimates the number of cryptocurrency owners worldwide to be approximately 560 million as of the end of 2024. Of these users, 61% are men and 39% are women, with the largest demographic group (34%) falling within the age range of 25 to 34 years. This places cryptocurrency adoption on par with Internet reach in the early 21st century, further reinforcing the idea that the industry still has significant expansion opportunities.

While overall cryptocurrency adoption may be equivalent to Internet levels in 2002, the specific adoption rate of XRP suggests an even earlier position. On-chain metrics indicate that the number of XRP wallets is approximately 6.5 million.

Although this number does not directly correspond to the number of individual users, as many of them have multiple wallets, it still provides a reliable estimate for measuring participation in the XRP ecosystem.

When compared to historical data from the early Internet era, this figure is similar to the Internet user base in 1992. At that time, there were only about 6-7 million users worldwide. Since then, that figure has increased by more than 78,000%, illustrating how significant the potential growth of XRP adoption could be if it follows a similar curve.

The assumption that XRP adoption is currently at the same level as the Internet was over 30 years ago has sparked optimistic forecasts among market observers. If the XRP user base expands even slightly in proportion to historical Internet trends, it could lead to increased demand and potential price growth. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.25.
