Would you give them a minute, bro? They didn't promise us anything, right? We didn't loose our funds investing into them, we ve got our 3% and 7% on xrp and RLUSD. We got our DPs. Everything goes great so far. Don't you think they know better how and when TGE? Why so angry? How about some gratitude instead?
@cryptodds2@jazfiz13@dom_kwok There is a difference between "the whole market is manipulated" and "XRP is being suppressed". While the first might be true ( everything is manipulated to a certain extent, depends what you put into it ), the later isn't.
I am certainly no expert. We all are only sharing our vision. But I am happily proposing a bet.
I am ready to bet anyone and lock 100k XRP in a smart contract that XRP won't reach 1k this year.
You are welcome to either take the bet or shut up. Let's see how much of an expert you are and how much do you think you "understand". Put your money where your mouth is.
Who are "they" you are referring to? Your granny? 😄 Nothing is suppressed, mate, it's a fair price, slightly higher, than it should be, i'd say. Expectations are priced in. A typical speculative phase. Utility phase is nowhere near yet unfortunately. XRP is not yet required. And if it stays this way for another year, I am afraid we might see 0.3-0.5$ again.
I guess everyone was waiting for clarity act to resolve. Would be great to hear anything from @doppler_fi about $XDP. A tiny update would feel encouraging.
The Crypto Clarity Act. Who ❌ Voted NO:
Below is the complete roster of all 43 Senators who voted against advancing the Crypto Clarity Act.
• 37 Democrats
• 4 Republicans
• 2 Independents
#CLARITYAct
1/ This one stings. Our team gave everything we had to get the Clarity Act across the finish line. So did most of the industry. This was an opportunity bigger than Ripple or one company - we did this for the industry, for consumers and to cement the US’s position as the crypto capital of the world and as a leader in the future of finance. Ultimately, consumers and U.S. competitiveness got left behind.
2/ A post mortem needs to be done on why this failed (more from me on that in the days ahead). The politics of the democrats (the anti-crypto army) was elevated over good policy.
3/ There is still reason for optimism for crypto in the United States. Now, the SEC, under Chair Atkins, and the CFTC, under Chair Selig, will continue to work hard to issue rules to fill the legislative gap and we will continue to be actively engaged in that rule making process.
4/ Ripple's business has never been stronger — real demand across traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. A missed vote in Washington doesn't change our momentum, our global footprint, or our customers.
@ChadSteingraber Interesting, been doing timestampimg of hash on XRPL for a year now , before sending the paper to https://t.co/jsaO3dkomg or any other journal..
@leo_ole_elo@doppler_fi How did you come to this conclusion? If it would have been 10% but the total supply would have been 100B ( it is 10B ) would it make you more happy? Procentage alone tells you nothing. 🤦
The 1% Genesis allocation is getting a lot of attention, but percentage alone is meaningless without context. What matters more is that $XDP has a fixed 10B max supply and a defined utility model rather than being just another emissions token.
The most interesting part to me is staking for protocol privileges. If staking $XDP eventually unlocks access to better vaults, higher-yield strategies, priority products, or limited-capacity opportunities, that creates real economic demand for the token beyond governance.
The future Safety Module could be even more interesting: stakers may be able to allocate $XDP into coverage pools, take on defined protocol risk, and earn additional incentives for doing so. That turns $XDP into more than a vote — potentially an access, yield and risk-capital layer for the whole Doppler ecosystem.
Imagine what “Protocol Privileges” could actually mean in practice.
Stake $XDP and maybe you get access to a 5–7% XRP strategy instead of a basic 3% vault. Or priority entry into a high-quality vault with limited capacity. Or access to strategies, campaigns, or products that simply aren’t available to non-stakers.
If Doppler builds it that way, $XDP stops being just a governance token. It becomes an access key to better opportunities inside the ecosystem — and that could create much stronger demand than people are pricing in today.
