📊 Ripple CTO: Price Lies - Usage Tells the Truth

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

Here’s what stands out 👇

  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

That’s the difference between infrastructure and noise. It’s similar to how BTC$BTC evolved - from a speculative trade into something institutions actually use 🧠

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

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

Less hype. More activity. That’s where the market is heading.
