Crypto commentator Digital Perspectives has examined this disconnect, noting that Ripple’s latest developments could eventually strengthen XRP’s role in institutional payments, liquidity and settlement.

In a video shared on X, host Brad Kimes discussed Ripple’s banking approval, its expanding financial operations, XRP’s existing utility on the XRP Ledger and the possibility of the asset becoming part of the underlying infrastructure of the US financial system.

Ripple Became A Bank. XRP Is Still Stuck. Here's Why (XRP) pic.twitter.com/hYnaIejMgR

— Digital Perspectives (@DigPerspectives) November 2, 2026

Ripple’s Banking Approval and XRP’s Price Performance

Kimes began by acknowledging the frustration among XRP holders over the cryptocurrency’s price performance despite Ripple securing a major regulatory milestone. He referenced XRP trading around $1.24 during the recording, while the broader cryptocurrency market had a capitalization of approximately $2.68 trillion.

He described the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s final approval of Ripple’s national trust bank charter as one of the most significant developments in the company’s history. According to Kimes, the approval strengthens Ripple’s position within the traditional banking system and provides additional opportunities to expand its financial services.

He also presented his long-term outlook for Ripple and XRP, suggesting that the company could become an important part of US financial infrastructure, with XRP potentially serving as a wholesale settlement asset. However, he acknowledged that this remains his personal assessment rather than an established government plan.

Ripple Prime Expands XRP’s Institutional Utility

Kimes also examined Ripple Prime’s growing role in institutional finance, particularly its capacity to support digital assets as collateral.

Referencing comments from Ripple Prime executive Mike Higgins, he explained that institutions could use assets such as XRP, Bitcoin and Ethereum for margin and collateral purposes. This arrangement could allow institutions to borrow against their XRP holdings without selling their positions, preserving their exposure while accessing liquidity for other transactions.

He also highlighted Ripple Prime’s reported $3 trillion in annual clearing activity and its connections to traditional financial market infrastructure. Kimes noted that these capabilities could help establish the operational requirements for wider institutional participation in digital assets.

Another development involved Ripple Treasury, formerly G Treasury. Kimes pointed to its introduction of digital asset capabilities and referenced Brad Garlinghouse’s comments about the platform serving more than 1,000 chief financial officers, with access to a corporate finance market valued at approximately $13 trillion.

XRP’s Role in Automated Settlement

The commentator also examined XRP’s existing function on the XRP Ledger’s decentralized exchange. He referenced Vette’s explanation that XRP can automatically bridge transactions between issued assets when routing through XRP provides better conversion rates than direct exchanges.

The discussion included euro-to-dollar transactions, with XRP potentially offering a more efficient settlement route under certain market conditions.

Kimes further addressed concerns that Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, could reduce XRP’s importance. He argued that stablecoins can encourage businesses to adopt blockchain-based financial services, potentially creating additional opportunities for XRP through liquidity and settlement activity.

Could XRP Eventually Support Wholesale Financial Settlement?

Towards the end of the video, Kimes connected Ripple’s banking approval and expanding financial operations to his long-standing belief that XRP could eventually support wholesale financial settlement.

He referenced discussions about a possible wholesale central bank digital currency by 2030, suggesting that XRP could potentially play a role in such a system. However, he acknowledged that its involvement remains speculative.

The post Ripple Became A Bank. XRP Is Still Stuck. Expert Explains why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto enthusiast Tulips shared a video on X from BULLRUNNERS that examines the distinction between Ripple, the company, and XRP, while tracing the regulatory developments that brought the company from its 2020 SEC lawsuit to federal bank approval in 2026.

The video revisits Brad Garlinghouse’s comments from December 22, 2020, when he explained that XRP was separate from Ripple and described it as a currency trading in the marketplace. BULLRUNNERS uses that statement as the starting point for examining what changed during the following six years.

The TRUTH About Ripple National Trust Bank And XRP… XRP HOLDERS, Here’s What They Aren’t Telling You (NO ONE IS READY) pic.twitter.com/spHwR9kgLn

— Tulips (@alkhadji) October 28, 2026

From the SEC Lawsuit to Federal Bank Approval

The video recalls how the SEC sued Ripple in December 2020, alleging that the company had conducted an unregistered securities offering involving XRP. BULLRUNNERS also recounts how several exchanges suspended or halted XRP trading following the lawsuit, contributing to a sharp decline in the token’s price.

The video then moves to Judge Analisa Torres’ July 2023 ruling, which determined that XRP sales to retail buyers on exchanges did not constitute investment contracts under the circumstances presented. It also notes that Ripple’s institutional sales remained subject to the court’s findings.

BULLRUNNERS says both sides ultimately dropped their appeals in August 2025, leaving the $125,035,150 penalty in place and bringing the case to an end.

The video then shifts to Ripple’s banking strategy. In July 2025, Garlinghouse announced that Ripple had applied for a national bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), while its subsidiary Standard Custody pursued a Federal Reserve account.

What Ripple National Trust Bank Is Approved to Do

BULLRUNNERS places particular emphasis on the difference between conditional approval and final approval. The OCC initially granted Ripple conditional approval in December 2025, allowing the company to proceed with preparations before receiving final authorization.

According to the video, Ripple received final approval on October 26, 2026, shortly before the company’s Swell conference. The approval permits Ripple National Trust Bank to manage the segregated reserves backing RLUSD, act as collateral trustee for those reserves on behalf of RLUSD holders, and provide fiduciary digital asset custody services.

The video stresses that the approval does not authorize the bank to operate like a conventional commercial bank. It says the trust bank cannot accept deposits or issue loans, instead focusing on custody and fiduciary functions.

Where XRP Fits Into the Approval

The central point of the BULLRUNNERS video is that the OCC approval does not specifically mention XRP among the bank’s approved activities. The video notes that RLUSD appears directly in the approved activities, while XRP does not.

BULLRUNNERS therefore distinguishes Ripple’s new banking status from XRP’s regulatory position. It also references a March 2026 SEC and CFTC interpretation that, according to the video, classified XRP among 16 digital commodities.

The video notes that Ripple’s federal banking approval primarily strengthens the company’s role in regulated custody and stablecoin infrastructure rather than directly establishing a new regulatory benefit for XRP.

BULLRUNNERS nevertheless says the development could have implications for XRP if institutional customers eventually use Ripple National Trust Bank to custody XRP. However, the video stresses that the current approval does not guarantee that outcome.

The video closes by returning to Garlinghouse’s 2020 statement that XRP is “a separate thing altogether,” arguing that Ripple’s federal banking approval and XRP’s regulatory status should be viewed as two related but distinct developments.

The post Ripple National Trust Bank: What It Means for XRP Holders appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The images Vale featured in his post confirmed this directly. The RNTB does not use the XRP token or the XRP Ledger in any way for its core banking operations. It also does not alter institutional adoption of XRP.

Vale called this fact “repulsive” while insisting it is true. He argued that Ripple must “place XRP in a position to be used with more than a trillion flowing through it.” The bank’s approval, in his view, does not accomplish that.

$XRP is not used in ripple National trust bank.

Observe how repulsive that appears. Yet it is labeled FUD; however, it is the truth. RIPPLE must place XRP in a position to be used with more than a trillion flowing through it. pic.twitter.com/YgMIAB5oXB

— VALE (@VALELORDX) October 27, 2026

Three Pillars and No XRP

The images lay out how RNTB operates. The bank separates communication, asset issuance, and cash reserves across three distinct pillars. None of them involve XRP.

The first pillar is RippleNet Messaging. Banks use RippleNet as a Software-as-a-Service platform for moving transaction data. It functions as a real-time alternative to the SWIFT network. Banks pay for this service in traditional fiat dollars. It transmits payment details without any crypto involvement or ledger settlement.

The remaining pillars follow the same logic. Asset issuance and reserve management operate through regulated state and federally supervised structures. The RLUSD stablecoin sits at the center of Ripple’s banking infrastructure. The bank exists to serve RLUSD. XRP sits outside of it entirely.

The Community Responds

Some in the community pushed back on Vale’s stance. One respondent argued that the separation is a regulatory requirement, not a strategic oversight.

He stated that obtaining an OCC charter, a Fed master account, and Treasury alignment required clean institutional infrastructure from the start. He suggested XRP was never going to serve as the foundation for that kind of regulated system.

Another took a more frustrated stance. He argued that the XRP community has been told to wait for over a decade, and that the bank’s approval does nothing to change that timeline.

One respondent dismissed Vale’s concerns entirely, suggesting the post was AI-generated and not credible. Vale replied with a post of Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla suggesting XRP has not been used by banks for 14 years.

The Core Issue

Vale’s post captures a tension that runs through the XRP community. Ripple is building a regulated financial institution. While the company has repeatedly argued that XRP and RLUSD will complement each other, the former seems to be excluded in this case.

The post XRP Army Reacts As YouTuber Says Ripple Bank Has No Role for XRP appeared first on Times Tabloid.

He wrote, “The XRPL has entered the Federal Banking System.” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced the milestone just before Ripple Swell, marking the culmination of a regulatory process that began in 2025.

What the OCC Document Shows

The document SMQKE shared outlines a landmark shift. Several major crypto firms received conditional approval to operate as federally regulated national trust banks. Ripple is among them, alongside Circle, BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets, and Paxos.

The OCC granted Ripple National Trust Bank approval to custody client assets under federal oversight. These limited-purpose charters do not permit deposit-taking or loan issuance. They do, however, place Ripple directly inside the federal banking framework.

The XRPL has entered the Federal Banking System.

Congratulations @Ripple https://t.co/kmtgrOuatb pic.twitter.com/k6KmZc6fHz

— SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) October 26, 2026

What the Charter Authorizes

Ripple National Trust Bank operates as a limited-purpose institution. It will manage the segregated reserves backing RLUSD, Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin. It will also provide fiduciary custody services for digital assets to institutional clients.

The charter places these operations under direct federal supervision by the OCC, while a separate state-regulated entity retains the role of RLUSD issuer.

Federal Oversight as a Competitive Advantage

The significance of federal supervision cannot be overstated for institutional adoption. Garlinghouse previously stated that the charter gives Ripple “an even stronger foundation for RLUSD and the institutional products we’re building across payments, custody and capital markets.”

Institutions managing large capital allocations require regulatory clarity before engaging with any financial counterparty. Ripple now operates under the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and the OCC simultaneously. That dual-layer oversight is a credential very few crypto firms can offer.

Why This is Positive for XRP

RLUSD’s market value has more than doubled since the start of 2026, reaching $2.6 billion. The stablecoin operates across Ripple’s payments infrastructure and serves as collateral on Ripple Prime, the company’s institutional brokerage platform.

The XRP Ledger serves as the settlement layer for these operations. As RLUSD usage grows under federally regulated reserve management, activity on the XRP Ledger increases, driving up demand for XRP on the network.

SMQKE’s post frames this as a structural shift for the XRP Ledger, not just a corporate milestone for Ripple. The XRP Ledger now has a direct connection to the federal banking system.

X Finance Bull Addresses the Confusion

Crypto commentator X Finance Bull posted a response on X to the growing questions circulating in the XRP community. His position was clear. “A banking license doesn’t mean the price has to skyrocket overnight,” he wrote.

He listed adoption, liquidity, and real usage as the factors that matter long-term. He also confirmed his outlook remains strong. “I’m still extremely bullish on $XRP,” he said, adding that he expects “some big months ahead.”

Community Reactions Split on Expectations

Responses to the post revealed a divide in how XRP holders are processing the news.

One commenter, Fran, pushed back on the expectation of an immediate price reaction. “Did people really expect a trust bank charter to show up on the chart the next day?” she wrote. “That kind of news usually plays out over quarters, not candles.”

The comment from BULLS AND BEARS took a different angle. “Well, news like this ought to have triggered a price surge,” they wrote. “It was significant, major news.” They also referenced the experience of long-term holders, noting that those who held XRP had “been in the red for years” while other assets made gains.

Two Different Timelines

The exchange reflects a genuine tension in the XRP community. Some holders entered years ago and have endured extended periods of underperformance relative to other digital assets. For them, a regulatory approval of this scale carries weight beyond the technical. It represents a potential turning point after a long wait.

X Finance Bull’s argument is that institutional milestones do not translate into immediate price movement. The OCC approval strengthens Ripple’s regulatory foundation and enables new banking activities, including managing reserves for RLUSD and providing fiduciary digital asset custody services. Those functions take time to build out and integrate.

What Comes Next for Ripple

The approval marks the conclusion of a process that began with conditional OCC approval in December 2025. Ripple National Trust Bank now operates as a federally chartered institution within the regulated financial system.

Whether that translates into price appreciation, and on what timeline, remains the central question for XRP holders watching the space closely.

The post Expert: Why XRP Didn’t Pump After Ripple Received Banking Approval appeared first on Times Tabloid.

“The revolution isn’t happening outside the system,” Garlinghouse wrote. “It’s happening from within it.” He added that crypto and banks “work better together.”

Ripple has spent the past year building its regulatory standing within the U.S. financial system. That work produced the result the XRP army is now celebrating.

Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank.

This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises.

We’ve always said crypto and banks work better…

— Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) October 26, 2026

The Road to Federal Approval

The journey began in July 2025, when Ripple filed its application with the OCC for a national trust bank charter. On December 12, 2025, the OCC granted conditional approval, placing Ripple alongside Circle, BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity Digital Assets.

Ripple had to demonstrate sufficient capital, build out AML and KYC systems, establish risk controls, and pass a final review of its information systems architecture. The OCC required the capital raise within 12 months and the bank to open within 18 months of the December 2025 decision.

Ripple cleared every requirement and received final approval roughly 10 months after conditional approval. The company beat its capital deadline by approximately two months.

What Ripple National Trust Bank Does

Ripple National Trust Bank is a federally supervised trust bank. It will manage the segregated reserves backing RLUSD, and act as collateral trustee for RLUSD holders. It will also provide fiduciary digital asset custody to enterprise clients.

It does not accept deposits or issue loans, as it is not a retail bank. RLUSD reserves sit under dual oversight. The New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) supervises the issuer, Standard Custody and Trust Company, while the OCC supervises the trust bank holding the reserves.

What This Means for XRP

Garlinghouse said the approval gives Ripple “a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises.” The next significant step is a Federal Reserve master account, which remains pending. That approval would allow Ripple to hold RLUSD reserves directly at the Fed and settle payments without relying on third-party banks.

For XRP, the federal charter strengthens the regulatory foundation of the entire ecosystem. Institutional clients that require federally regulated counterparties now have a cleaner path to working with Ripple’s infrastructure.

RLUSD’s growing role as collateral within Ripple Prime adds further utility to the XRP Ledger. This news has excited the XRP community and they are eager for more announcements as Swell 2026 opens today.

The post Ripple CEO Says This Big News for XRP Holders: Ripple National Trust Bank Finally Approved appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The Capital and Launch Deadlines

The timeline sets two firm dates. Ripple must raise capital by mid-December 2026. The bank must open for business before June 12, 2027. Digital Asset Investor stated the update came from “BankXRP,” who “put out an update on Ripple National Trust Bank timeline.”

A third requirement sits between those two dates. Ripple must notify the OCC 60 days before its planned launch. This notification step creates a practical checkpoint. It forces Ripple to commit to a launch date well ahead of the actual opening, giving the OCC a formal window to review final readiness.

— Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) August 11, 2026

What Comes Next in the Approval Process

Digital Asset Investor pointed to final OCC approval as the next major catalyst. He said, “The next major catalyst could be final OCC approval as Ripple completes the remaining requirements.” This approval marks the last regulatory step before the bank can move toward its launch window.

The national trust bank charter would let Ripple operate under federal banking oversight rather than a patchwork of state licenses. A national charter simplifies compliance across jurisdictions. It also positions Ripple to expand banking services tied to XRP Ledger infrastructure under a single federal framework.

The Timeline’s Significance for XRP Holders

The structure Digital Asset Investor outlined gives the XRP community a concrete sequence to track. Each date functions as a checkpoint rather than a vague projection. Capital raised by December 2026 is a criterion. OCC also notified 60 days before launch. The bank is to open by June 12, 2027.

This sequencing matters because it replaces speculation with a defined regulatory path. Ripple’s charter application has moved through multiple stages over the past year, and this timeline represents the clearest public breakdown of what remains.

A Concrete Regulatory Milestone

The timeline gives XRP holders and market watchers specific dates to monitor rather than open-ended waiting. Mid-December 2026 marks the capital deadline. The 60-day notification window before launch marks the next procedural step after OCC approval. June 12, 2027 marks the outside date for the bank to start operating.

If Ripple meets each requirement in sequence, the national trust bank could become operational within the next year. The OCC’s final approval now stands as the single largest remaining variable in the process.

Crypto researcher SMQKE is now highlighting the development as a potential connection between Ripple’s banking operations, RLUSD, and the federal financial system.

In a recent post, SMQKE wrote, “Ripple’s Bank Charter will officially integrate RLUSD and XRP with the Federal Banking System.” The researcher accompanied the statement with documentation discussing Ripple’s regulatory applications and its plans involving RLUSD reserves.

Ripple’s Bank Charter will officially integrate RLUSD and XRP with the Federal Banking System.

Ripple’s National Trust Bank Approval

The OCC announced in December 2025 that it had granted preliminary conditional approval for the creation of Ripple National Trust Bank. The proposed institution would operate as a national trust bank under OCC supervision, subject to completing the agency’s remaining requirements before receiving final authorization to commence business.

The development places Ripple among several digital asset companies pursuing federally regulated banking structures. The OCC also conditionally approved applications involving First National Digital Currency Bank, BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets, and Paxos.

SMQKE’s post focuses on the potential significance of this development for XRP and RLUSD. The attached material states that Ripple submitted an application to the OCC while also seeking a Federal Reserve master account. It describes the objective of placing RLUSD reserves within the central banking system.

Federal Reserve Access and RLUSD Reserves

Ripple’s pursuit of a Federal Reserve master account represents a separate regulatory process from the OCC charter. A master account provides an institution with an account relationship at a Federal Reserve Bank and access to Federal Reserve services.

Reuters reported in 2025 that Ripple had applied for a Federal Reserve master account alongside its national bank charter application. The report stated that Ripple sought the ability to access the Fed’s payment infrastructure and potentially hold RLUSD reserves directly with the central bank.

That distinction matters because the OCC’s conditional approval does not itself grant Ripple a Federal Reserve master account. The two applications involve different institutions and approval processes.

XRP and RLUSD in Ripple’s Banking Strategy

SMQKE presents the developments as a major step toward integrating Ripple’s digital asset operations with the federal banking system. The post specifically links the bank charter with both RLUSD and XRP.

RLUSD currently operates through Standard Custody & Trust Company, a limited-purpose trust company chartered by the New York State Department of Financial Services. Ripple says RLUSD reserves are held in segregated accounts at banks and securities custodians and are backed by U.S. dollars and other cash equivalents.

The researcher’s central claim is therefore focused on the potential significance of Ripple gaining deeper access to federal financial infrastructure. While the bank charter has received conditional approval, the Federal Reserve account remains a separate matter, so the full integration described by SMQKE depends on further regulatory approvals.

The post New Document: Ripple’s Bank Charter Will Integrate RLUSD and XRP appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto analyst ChartNerd laid out the timeline in a tweet, tying specific windows to capital requirements and operational conditions.

The filing names the proposed entity Ripple National Trust Bank and lists Brian Spahn, Ripple’s Senior Director of Regulatory Compliance, as the primary contact. Paul Hastings LLP represents the company as outside counsel on the application, which sits with the OCC as a public volume.

Patiently waiting…

December 2026 marks the 12-month compliance window for @Ripple to meet capital requirements needed for full national trust bank charter approval.

July 2027 is the 18‑month deadline for meeting all conditions under OCC guidelines and commencing operations pic.twitter.com/SV750mktsL

— ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA) August 10, 2026

The December 2026 Deadline

ChartNerd’s post identifies December 2026 as the point at which Ripple must meet capital requirements for full charter approval. The analyst wrote, “December 2026 marks the 12-month compliance window for Ripple to meet capital requirements needed for full national trust bank charter approval.”

Capital adequacy forms a core requirement for any institution seeking a national trust bank charter. Regulators assess whether an applicant holds enough capital to support its proposed operations before approving.

The July 2027 Timeline

A second deadline follows in July 2027. ChartNerd described this as “the 18-month deadline for meeting all conditions under OCC guidelines and commencing operations.”

This stage covers more than capital alone. It includes every condition the OCC attaches to conditional approval, such as governance structures, compliance systems, and operational readiness. Once Ripple meets these conditions, the trust bank can begin operations under its national charter.

Two Stages, One Process

The two dates mark separate steps in the chartering process. National trust bank charters typically move through conditional approval before reaching final approval.

Conditional approval sets specific requirements an applicant must meet within a fixed period. Full approval follows once regulators confirm those requirements are met. ChartNerd’s timeline places the capital milestone six months ahead of the full operational deadline.

The Road Ahead

The OCC has not published a public timeline for its own review process. Ripple’s application remains under evaluation. ChartNerd’s post ends with a simple note: “Patiently waiting…” That line captures the position most observers hold right now. The company has not issued a public statement addressing the specific dates ChartNerd cited.

A national trust bank charter would let Ripple operate under federal oversight instead of relying on separate state-by-state money transmitter licenses. Financial institutions often pursue this structure to standardize operations across the country under a single regulatory framework. For Ripple, approval would represent a shift toward that model.

The next 18 months will show whether Ripple clears both thresholds ChartNerd outlined. December 2026 tests the company’s capital position. July 2027 tests everything else the OCC requires before Ripple can commence operations as a chartered national trust bank.

The post Compliance Window for Full Ripple National Bank Approval appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto commentator XRP Update (@XrpUdate) has weighed in on this development. In a recent post, he revealed the numerous advantages of the RNTB. While the approval remains conditional, the direction matters. It has brought XRP closer to its long-term goal of dominating the global financial system.

BENEFITS OF RIPPLE NATIONAL TRUST BANK pic.twitter.com/YlJXFbrb6e

— XRP Update (@XrpUdate) December 12, 2025

A Step Inside the U.S. Banking System

OCC approval enables Ripple to operate within federal banking rules once final conditions are met. A national trust bank charter differs from a commercial bank charter. It focuses on custody, settlement, and fiduciary services rather than deposits or lending. This structure suits Ripple’s business model.

The image shared by XRP Update highlights “Direct Access to U.S. Banking Rails” as one of the advantages. That access reduces reliance on intermediaries. It also shortens settlement paths. Faster and cleaner rails strengthen the use case for XRP as a bridge asset inside payment flows connected to the XRP Ledger.

Trust, Compliance, and Institutional Confidence

The image highlights “Institutional Grade Trust & Compliance.” OCC supervision places Ripple under strict risk and custody standards. Many institutions require federally regulated partners.

As Ripple deepens compliance, XRP benefits from reduced regulatory friction and gains credibility as a utility-driven asset.

Custody, Stablecoins, and XRP Liquidity

“Enhanced Digital Asset Custody” stands out as another core benefit. Regulated custody blocks many institutions from entering crypto markets. A Ripple trust bank can provide compliant custody for tokenized assets and stablecoins connected to the XRP Ledger.

Ripple already offers institutional-grade custody and can drive more assets onto the ledger through the bank. Higher activity improves liquidity, and stronger liquidity reinforces XRP’s role as a bridge asset in cross-border settlement.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

The image also cites a “Strong Foundation for Stablecoins (RLUSD).” Ripple plans to manage RLUSD under OCC and NYDFS oversight. RLUSD complements XRP, and stablecoins provide price stability as XRP moves liquidity across corridors at scale.

Why This Matters for XRP’s Growth

The final benefit cited is “Deeper Liquidity for the XRP Ledger.” Banking and custody under one roof improve on ramps and off ramps. Better access leads to smoother flows, increasing demand for efficient settlement assets.

Ripple’s bank strategy does not change XRP overnight. It changes the environment around it. Regulation, custody, and banking access reduce barriers that held adoption back. Over time, those conditions can support meaningful growth for XRP.
