๐Ÿ“Š Ripple CTO: Price Lies - Usage Tells the Truth

Ripple CTO David Schwartz says price alone doesnโ€™t show real adoption. For XRP$XRP, what truly matters is activity - transactions and liquidity, not short-term hype.

Hereโ€™s what stands out ๐Ÿ‘‡

  1. XRP has processed 4+ billion transactions, settling in seconds with near-zero fees

  2. Deep liquidity supports real value transfer, not just trading

  3. Institutions are issuing and moving assets on-chain, not letting them sit idle

Thatโ€™s the difference between infrastructure and noise. Itโ€™s similar to how BTC$BTC evolved - from a speculative trade into something institutions actually use ๐Ÿง 

Retail adoption is still catching up, but it usually follows once real financial products appear.

๐Ÿš€ That same focus on real usage shows up elsewhere too. WhiteBIT is running a TradingView Star Rating mission โญ, rewarding users for broker feedback - a small example of platforms paying attention to real user signals, not just price charts.

Less hype. More activity. Thatโ€™s where the market is heading.
