Ripple had a huge week—but XRP’s price barely moved. What do the latest institutional developments actually mean, and why might their impact take time to show up in XRP?
In this interview, I talk with Billy Trajcevski, Head of Strategic Partnerships at UpTrade, about Ripple’s national trust bank approval, BNY’s support for XRP custody, and RLUSD’s growing distribution. We also discuss why custody may be an important step toward broader institutional use, how RLUSD and XRP can serve different roles, and why major announcements don’t automatically lead to immediate XRP demand.
