XRP "Shitcoin" Controversy: The Regulatory Logic Behind 75 Licenses

Industry legal experts point out that XRP and scam projects are fundamentally different. Ripple holds multiple licenses and regulatory compliance worldwide, and has recently obtained new authorizations. However, despite this, investors are disappointed with the stagnation of XRP's price.

【Crypto World】In response to some claiming that XRP is a “shitcoin,” industry legal experts have offered a different perspective. They point out that Ripple’s global license applications and regulatory compliance progress are fundamentally different from the operations of scam projects.

Data shows that Ripple currently holds over 75 licenses, and recently received preliminary approval for EMI in Luxembourg and authorization from the UK FCA. It’s worth noting that last year, Ripple also won a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These indicate that Ripple operates transparently under a strict regulatory framework, which is completely different from those shady projects that evade scrutiny.

However, despite these statements, many retail investors in the market still feel frustrated with XRP’s performance. Watching the price hover around $1.95 with no signs of breaking out, this stagnation indeed causes some disappointment. No matter how well regulatory compliance is handled, investors’ main concern ultimately remains: when will this coin start to rise?

75 certificates can't lock in my stop-loss order either

A pile of compliance certificates, but the prices still can't go up, this is awkward.

Even with strong compliance, the market still can't perform well. That's the real issue, isn't it?

75 licenses sound impressive, but the price still can't go up, which is ridiculous. No matter how compliant you are, there must be arbitrage opportunities. Right now, liquidity depth is sufficient but there is a lack of momentum. Regulatory dividends can't capture market gains, which is a bit awkward this time. Ripple is really surfing but hasn't caught the wave peak. Instead of stacking licenses, it's better to focus on some actual on-chain activities, which is what LPs want to see. Honestly, it's much cleaner than those wild methods, but being clean doesn't mean making money. The price being stuck at 1.95 is the best proof; no matter how beautiful the data is, it's useless. Legal experts' papers are well-written, but the account balances of traders are the real truth. The gap between compliance and market gains is widening more and more.
