Telling Ripple to do something about XRP’s price simply shows a lack of understanding of how price formation works. If Ripple could freely control the market price, it wouldn’t be a healthy or transparent market. Market price is determined by a variety of factors—supply and demand, liquidity, investor sentiment, real-world use cases, and more. What Ripple should be held accountable for is not price manipulation or price guarantees. The key is to build the financial infrastructure that makes XRP needed and expand real-world demand. And it’s not just Ripple—it’s market participants worldwide that determine XRP’s value. Instead of demanding promises to raise the price, focus on efforts to increase the reasons why the market needs XRP. Failing to understand this distinction and blaming Ripple alone for price dissatisfaction reveals a complete lack of understanding.
