#XRP adoption is growing, but the price isn’t following.

$XRP slipped below $1 even as South Korea’s Jeonbuk Bank became the first regional bank in the country to deploy Ripple Payments for cross-border transfers.

The interesting part? Ripple hasn’t confirmed whether the settlement flows will use $XRP or $RLUSD .

That could explain why more institutional partnerships aren’t automatically translating into XRP price strength.

For XRP, adoption matters, but how that adoption actually uses the token matters even more.
