November 2024 - The Age of Aquarius. Authenticity is the NEW currency. On Demand Liquidity ODL. Internet of Value. Lvl playing field. Web 3 and the XRPL
A new draft XLS just dropped for the XRPL DEX, and it’s worth understanding…
The proposal adds pluggable AMM curves. Today every XRPL AMM pool uses one model: constant product (x*y=k), the same Uniswap v2 style math for every pool. That’s simple but capital-inefficient, especially for assets that trade near a fixed ratio.
This XLS introduces two new curve types alongside it:
Concentrated Liquidity (Uniswap v3 style): LPs concentrate capital in a chosen price band instead of spreading it across the full range, which means far more usable depth per dollar deposited.
StableSwap (Curve style): a flatter curve built for assets that trade close to 1:1, ideal for stablecoin pairs, FX markets and RWAs where price barely moves.
Each token pair can run one pool per curve type, and the payment engine routes to whichever gives the best price. Existing pools are untouched and default to constant product, so nothing breaks.
The direction matters. Better depth and tighter pricing for stables, FX and RWAs is exactly what the XRPL DEX needs to compete.
Worth tracking closely.
The building doesn't stop.
Times like these are when the self-custodial $XRP Ledger signing layer is built, quietly, deliberately, one feature at a time.
Security. Usability. Speed.
That's the job.

One of the reasons why the $XRP DEX is a better trading platform than TradFi is that the whole matching engine is open source and transparent.
All rules are public and enforced by everyone.
Whereby in centralized systems you can get away with dishonest matching engines!

GOLD / SILVER RATIO: 59.8:1
If this cycle keeps compressing the ratio, silver could still have a lot more room to run.
At 40:1, silver would be around $114/oz with gold at today’s level.
At 30:1, silver would be around $152/oz.
At 20:1, silver would be around $228/oz.

🚨 INDIA RESTRICTS MOST SILVER IMPORTS TO CUT ITS IMPORT BILL AND SUPPORT THE RUPEE 🔥
India has placed 99.9% silver bars and most semi manufactured silver imports under the restricted category with immediate effect.
These categories made up over 90% of India’s silver imports last fiscal year.
India also raised gold and silver import tariffs to 15% from 6% to reduce overseas metal purchases and ease pressure on FX reserves after higher oil prices.
India spent a record $12 billion on silver imports in 2025/26, up from $4.8 billion the year before.
April silver imports jumped 157% YoY to $411 million.
This should tighten local supply, reduce investment product imports, and potentially push Indian silver from discount to premium in the weeks ahead. https://t.co/wxmd181Jqg
Having unique insight is what matters.
My position in the crypto space gives me perspective others don't have.
This market doesn't reward intelligence alone—it rewards those who stand where others don't and act on what they see.
