## Resource

XRP is down 46% over the last six months. Bitcoin is down 32%. The broader crypto market is getting hammered. Let's acknowledge reality: the price action has been brutal. But here's the question... If XRP is headed toward tokenized securities, tokenized money market funds, tokenized stocks, tokenized loans, and institutional finance, why is it trading around $1? Tonight on On The Chain, Jeff and Chip dive into the growing disconnect between XRP's price and what's actually happening across the ecosystem. Topics include: • David Schwartz on the future of XRP and tokenized finance • XRP tokenization growth outpacing Ethereum • South Korea's massive XRP trading activity • XRPL infrastructure upgrades and the transition to xrpld • Coinbase's expanding crypto developer ecosystem • The broader crypto market selloff • Polymarket's XRP predictions • Market psychology, fear, and volatility • Why crypto veterans have seen this movie before Crypto has been a roller coaster for the last 16 years. Fear comes. Panic follows. The headlines get louder. Then the story changes. So buckle up sunshine. Let's get into it. #XRP #Ripple #XRPL #Crypto #Bitcoin #Blockchain #Tokenization #RLUSD #Finance #CryptoNews ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☕ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Badassery Coffee Company https://badasserycoffee.com 🔥 OTC Merch Store https://otc.shop 🖼️ OTC NFT Collection https://otc.one/mint 🌐 On The Chain Website https://onthechain.io 𝕏 Follow On The Chain https://x.com/on_the_chain CONNECT WITH THE TEAM Jeff https://x.com/jeff_onthechain Chip https://x.com/stephenchip DISCLAIMER This content is for educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be considered financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
