Lol what actual news prompting this rise in shitcoin XRP? It's just dumb money sloshing around from the ETH pump that is all. Soon monero will dump back to shit and ETH will continue rising.

There is no chance for Monero it is one of the shittest coins.

With what you just said, I am guessing you didn't read any news at all and don't even know what you're talking about. This isn't even Monero, it is Ripple:

Great links! I am glad to see Ripple succeed as ultimately it will help BTC and crypto in general.

It seems like for short term one is hoping for an increase in price because of certainty with Jed agreement and an "any day now" increase in liquidity due to accessibility with SBI in negative interest rate Japan.

However, now with the estranged rogue largest xrp stakeholder agreement and ripple's $700K fine, it looks like after all these years they are finally in position for someone to safely put some volume on the network.
