Crypto markets often fixate on price, with charts dominating timelines. However, an XRP enthusiast, Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto), took a different route in a recent post.
He shared a clip featuring Greg Kidd, a former Ripple executive and the company’s 10th employee. The message was not about short-term price action, but about what actually makes Ripple’s vision work.
Xaif argued that liquidity is more important than the asset’s absolute price. He added that XRP “isn’t built to sit, it’s built to move.” The focus was clear. Utility comes first, and the price will follow, as demand increases. Liquidity enables everything else.
Exactly 💯🫡 Liquidity > Absolute Price.
XRP isn’t built to sit it’s built to move.
Price is just a label, liquidity is the engine that enables frictionless settlement, adoption, and market velocity.Deep liquidity removes resistance and friction is the enemy of scale. https://t.co/K6BD02IACB pic.twitter.com/MDCbtcnVOk

A Focus on Movement Instead of Optics
Xaif’s post centers on the idea that XRP’s role depends on how easily it can move through markets. He described the price as “just a label” while calling liquidity “the engine that enables frictionless settlement, adoption, and market velocity.” His argument avoids hype and emphasizes function.
In this view, a high price alone does little if markets lack depth. Fast entry and exit matter more than static valuation. Liquidity allows institutions to transact at scale without distortion. That is the environment Ripple needs for global settlement.
Comments That Reinforce the Point
The video Xaif shared features Greg Kidd explaining why liquidity sits at the center of Ripple’s model. Kidd said, “For Ripple to be successful, XRP needs to be liquid, so there’s no friction getting into it and out of it.” He stressed that liquidity matters more than “the absolute price.”
Kidd did not dismiss the price entirely. He acknowledged market dynamics. “When there’s more demand than supply, the prices rise,” he said. He added that rising prices benefit those who hold the asset. Still, his emphasis stayed on demand and usage rather than speculation.
As a former Ripple executive, Kidd spoke from experience. His comments showed early design priorities. Ripple targeted settlement efficiency, and XRP serves as the perfect bridge asset for that role.

Why Liquidity Supports Adoption
Liquidity supports trust. Market participants need assurance that they can execute large transactions without disruption. That applies to banks, payment providers, and liquidity hubs. XRP’s usefulness depends on that confidence.
Deep liquidity also supports volatility control. Thin markets amplify swings. Deep markets absorb flows. That stability attracts larger players. It also reduces costs for cross-border transfers.
Both Xaif and Kidd point to the same outcome. Demand creates value, utility creates demand, and liquidity allows utility. The price reflects that process rather than leading it.
