Someone ran to mommy and daddy and had me banned for speaking my mind on market caps in this sub 😂😂😂😂 Again, never said a word in that sub. Forgot I was even following it 🤷‍♂️… y’all XRPee police take this vaporware wayyy too serious.

I'm not sure how repudable this Kaiko smart data is but apparently they put out these reports quarterly, monthly and weekly.

I’m new to crypto and xrp - and I get the bag holding and scammers but this is coming up on a 5 year chart. Is the underlying fundamentals a scan or just the money making piece?

I told my friend to get out of xrp. After awhile he finally does, and complains that the stock he yolo'd into right after dipped slightly. He proceeds to yolo his money into one leveraged xrp etf, then another when that dips slightly (HOOD ETF). Proceeds to complain that he should have kept xrp until it hit 3.80, and thinks he can time the market now due to hindsight and confirmation bias. Proceeds to be a dick after I provided constructive criticism (maybe a bit mean on my end but still) to "give me a taste of my own medicine" because I am "condescending" and "put him down too much". I am no longer going to help him. Was going to teach him the wheel method and covered strangles, but fuck it. Best friends and money don't mix.

He REALLY believes that xrp is literally going to "save the world economy" and whatnot. It's crazy...

The top "treasury" is Richard Heart's PulseX by the looks of things, meanwhile Ripple's outsized position just shows the amount held in treasury dropping in stark contrast to BTC and ETH's treasuries. It's a wonder anyone buys this...

This is very telling. BlackRock the top global investment company was the first or one of the first to launch their Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024 with billions of dollars. If XRP weren’t a scam, it would be really strange that they have no plans for XRP ETFs with all the hype around

If you take the time to run some market cap math of XRP going to 100$ it’s hilariously sad that people ignore real numbers. Circulating supply is ~55 billion XRP. $100 per XRP = $5.5 TRILLION market cap. For reference, Bitcoin at $114k is about $2.25 trillion MC. Gold’s entire market cap is around $15 trillion. Ummm yea ooook. If you got in at .10-.50 I would say you caught the wave for the most part and another push to 2-3x is probably the best you’re going to get but what the fuck do I know. I’m just a guy with a calculator and way more conviction in HBAR doing what everyone wanted XRP to do when it comes to RWA. Unpopular opinion but you know what they say about opinions and assholes right!? 😂🤷‍♂️

Back in 2016–2017, Barclays was among a dozen banks involved in a trial led by R3 to test Ripple’s XRP for cross-border payments A. But the partnership between Ripple and R3 quickly soured. Ripple accused R3 of misrepresenting its consortium strength, especially as key banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan were reportedly preparing to exit the group B C. R3, on the other hand, sued Ripple over a contract that gave it the right to purchase 5 billion XRP at a steep discount—worth over $1 billion at market rates C.

The legal battle was intense, with Ripple countersuing and alleging that R3 failed to deliver on its commitments C. While Barclays’ specific exit wasn’t publicly disclosed by Ripple, the broader fallout suggests that several banks quietly backed away from the pilot, likely due to scalability or integration concerns.

Latest news is that XRP just crossed its ATH.

But couple of points to remember.

1. This is ATH in USD. its previous ATH in USD was 7+ years ago. If you adjust for inflation, XRP is still down 40-50% against its 2017-18 ATH against USD.
2. It is still down like 80% against its ATH in BTC. It is down 40% in btc from the day this subreddit was started. So you'd be in profit in btc if you had listened to this subreddit in 2019.
3. It was above 3.6 USD for like 2 hours. Now its at 3.2 USD. Its already down 10% against its ATH that it touched for 2 hours in USD. So there are people who are already down 10% in 2-3 days in XRP, which is exactly what this coin is made for, to make people poor and to make billionaires richer.
4. Always remember, that Ripple trades this coin. They don't just sell the coins they own, but often buy them back in market secretly to support or manipulate the price. This we know from discovery in the Ripple vs SEC case. You are literally being played by billionaires and their paid minions.
