14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.
And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.
I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.
Happy Birthday, XRP!
@XRPLF@JoelKatz Hi @JoelKatz, welcome to the $XRP community!
Please introduce yourself and say a couple of things about yourself, so we can get to know you a little more?
It would be much appreciated ๐ค๐
๐จAUSTRALIA APPROVES AUD STABLECOIN ON XRP LEDGER
Australiaโs regulator ASIC has licensed AUDC Pty Ltd to issue a regulated Australian dollar-backed stablecoin on the XRP Ledger, marking a step toward institutional blockchain adoption.
$XRP Army, do you realize what just happened??!
There are only 5 spot $XRP ETFs live today. They have only been live for less than 2 months... just 34 business days completed (today is day 35).
For all spot $XRT ETFs, total net assets already equals $1.37B.
That means that about 0.7% of all $XRP in existence has been eaten up by ETFs in just 34 days. That's also 1.14% of the market cap of $XRP.
And this happened at a time when the crypto market has been suppressed due to the October 10th liquidation event. The market is in extreme fear.
Yet the money rolls into $XRP ETFs regardless. While at the same time, there have been many weeks of large outflows for $BTC & $ETH.
Now image another year... 3 years... 5 years... 10 years out. That 0.7% figure is going to be way bigger.
Now image the increase in demand for $XRP that will occur on the crypto native side of things (Coinbase, Binance, etc). That's going to push price way higher too.
This is all happening a time when the fundamentals for $XRP have never been stronger. $XRP is an obvious early winner in the crypto space and has now been around nearly 14 years.
If you're into $XRP in 2026, even if you're brand new, you're going to look back on this moment and realize you were actually early. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now. You're early.
In fact, the vast majority of adoption for $XRP that will ever occur, has not happened yet.
The best is yet ahead. ๐๐๐ป๐ฅ
