@realMaxAvery @SteveOnSpeed I left management because of the babysitting. Managers no longer control or have very little influence over incentives now as those powers consolidated/centralized to corporate. Managers have become puppets. Now, I provide value in data analysis. I’m valued above managers now

@ChartNerdTA I sure hope so. Then I can buy A LOT more 😉

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@xrpmickle And that’s why a BlackRock spot XRP ETF is inevitable sometime soon :)

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@beyond_broke Well, that’s interesting. You’re right. That is neat

@Cointelegraph X 🤝 Cross River Bank 🤝 Ripple (settlement with XRP) 😉

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@thecryptobasic The exchange is making its analysis solely on the mechanics of retails previously historical trends of buying XRP and projecting it. They’re missing a key part: adoption & scaling. Protocol value set by value flowing over the network and no longer retail setting the price

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@badameli @saylordocs Because the utility networks prices are still set by retail. Once the utility protocols are adopted (expected 2026), retail will no longer influence the price as the value flowing over their networks will

@BSCNews Time to buy 😏

I Finally Did It With XRP... https://t.co/5A989ZhnJP

[Future XRP @the5blairs]

If you haven't read this Observatory yet, now is the time.

Three things confirmed today that the XRP framework has been waiting for.

All of them are sourced.

FINDING ONE: Hidden Road — owned by Ripple — appears on the DTCC's official FICC GSD member directory with Netting, Repo Netting, AND GCF access.

Verify it yourself:
https://t.co/Un44Duk5Yy

The Plumbing Paper identified GSD netting membership as the one structural step Ripple hadn't publicly taken.

It's on the list.

FINDING TWO: DTCC confirmed it will not build on a single permissioned network.

Exact language from their May 27 announcement:

"Interoperable with multiple public ledgers rather than a single permissioned network."

Source (Lowenstein Sandler legal analysis):
https://t.co/Ts2jlQ1t2e

That sentence states that every bank-owned private chain will not be used as the default settlement infrastructure exclusively.

Neutral public ledgers require a neutral settlement asset.

FINDING THREE: CME Group launched 24/7 cryptocurrency futures and options on May 29.

In the official press release, Ripple Prime was quoted by name as a participating FCM — "purpose-built for always-on markets."

Source (CME Group official press release):
https://t.co/RzErVsky5i

Why these three matter together:

Hidden Road = Ripple inside FICC repo clearing.

DTCC multichain = the architecture requires a neutral asset. Not a bank token. Not a stablecoin with counterparty risk.

Ripple Prime at CME 24/7 = derivatives margin that never sleeps needs settlement that never sleeps.

On RLUSD vs XRP for derivatives margin:

RLUSD handles routine dollar-denominated margin.

XRP handles the moment a dollar peg is exactly what you don't want as collateral — which is precisely when margin is most needed.

That's not competition. That's architecture.

The framework sized XRP for this role.

Three-digit floor for GCF-level settlement.
Higher for full derivatives margin at institutional scale.

At $1.30 today, the market is pricing approximately zero probability of any of this.

Three official sources say otherwise.

The room isn't being built.

It opened.

@cryptodotnews She never says “Bitcoin will be the financial system”. This is false. Bitcoin can’t scale. Utility tokens built for the financial system will replace the old legacy rails in the current financial system. BTC does nothing. No one wants DSL when we have Google Fiber internet

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@beyond_broke Yeah, wish I was aware of this. Now I have to leave my job to get access to more liquidity to buy XRP, but I like my job and don’t want to leave until XRP takes off and subsidizes my current income. Catch 22 situation. Bummer

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@Xfinancebull Myself, and then @beyond_broke and @xrpmickle helped me better understand its value even more

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@unknowDLT Because an announcement isn’t needed when the integration is all over the articles and paperwork. The DTCC has been partnered with Ripple for awhile now

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@ChartNerdTA If XRP drops below $1 I will be taking out a huge loan and all my extra money into buying more XRP

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@pakkobs @cryptodylnews As it’s been mentioned many times before and what the entire lawsuit around Ripple and the SEC was all about, XRP is not a security of Ripple. It’s a commodity. Therefore, Ripple cannot influence the price of XRP with announcements. XRP price will be set by its utilization

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@hypebeasteth Just gonna leave this here

PROOF XRP Is About To RIP.

[LeoCap @LeoCapLegend]

@hypebeasteth @the5blairs Can you give me an example where that’s worked out for anyone? What happens when people find out something big happens or announced from a company? - they rush to buy and are emotional, like yourself with XLM right now. Once the announcement is made about XRP, you’re too late. ✌️
