XRP: the cryptocurrency for financial infrastructure?

XRP began to be developed in 2011 with a simple proposal: to make value transfers faster and cheaper.
Today, the scenario is very different.
The ecosystem has evolved and now involves international payments, tokenization, DeFi, stablecoins, financial institutions, and ETFs.

The main factors that increased interest in XRP were:

Greater maturity of the XRP Ledger
Expansion of Ripple in the financial sector
Greater regulatory clarity after the dispute with the SEC
Arrival of XRP ETFs
Growth in asset tokenization
Launch and expansion of the RLUSD stablecoin
Greater participation of institutional investors

The big change is that XRP is no longer seen only as a cryptocurrency for payments and has come to be analyzed as part of a possible blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

But there is an important point: Ripple's and XRP Ledger's growth does not automatically mean XRP's appreciation.

The decisive factor will be how much of this adoption actually generates demand for the token itself.

In short: XRP today has an ecosystem, an infrastructure, and institutional access much greater than it had in the past.

"Given all this evolution, do you believe XRP is still at the beginning of its adoption, or that much of this growth is already priced in?"
