For years, XRP’s market identity was shaped by the dynamics that defined the early crypto era: retail-driven speculation, regulatory uncertainty, and an enduring belief that blockchain rails could overturn decades-old banking infrastructure. That narrative was volatile, adversarial, and deeply cyclical as XRP’s performance rose and fell with court headlines and sentiment waves rather than measurable adoption.

Instead of being viewed as another participant in crypto’s competitive L1 ecosystem, XRP is increasingly being evaluated through the lens of settlement infrastructure. It is a narrative rooted not in token appreciation or ecosystem expansion, but in whether XRP can function as part of the liquidity and messaging stack through which tokenized dollars eventually move.

Policy clarity and product maturity are driving XRP’s narrative change The clearest catalyst for this narrative shift is the alignment between US policy and Ripple’s product architecture. The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July, established the first federal regime for payment stablecoins. Its requirements of a full-reserve backing, strict oversight, and transparent redemption mechanics converted stablecoins from regulatory grey zones into eligible settlement instruments for corporates and, eventually,…
