I saw something you need to focus on. Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, was in Washington meeting with senators and government officials. It wasn’t just an ordinary meeting—he was sitting with them discussing the CLARITY Act, which will shape the future of digital currencies in America. This man fought for 11 full years just to reach this point.

The difference between what you see on charts and what’s actually happening behind the scenes is strange. The price is currently around $1.44, and people say XRP is dead, yet the CEO is sitting in closed rooms with the people writing the biggest crypto legislation in American history. This isn’t a coincidence.

Brad said that XRP is Ripple’s North Star, and that’s extremely important. The coin at the heart of the entire long game is the same one that’s very close to regulatory clarity. They’re not asking for meetings—they’re having dinner with them. Demand for XRP is increasing, and the question is simple: what happens to unused XRP? The Flare network exists to give it more benefits than just transfers.

I don’t think Brad isn’t celebrating because the battle is over, but because he can see the finish line from where he is right now. If the CEO who fought for 11 years says we’re closer than ever, then I’m not going anywhere. The developments happening around Ripple and the ecosystem can only suggest that the story is moving in one direction.
