Ripple expands business but XRP lags; investors call for more real-world use
Criticism is growing that Ripple’s business expansion is not translating into progress for XRP.

XRP has fallen more than 60 percent since mid-2025 and trades around $1.38. Debate has shifted to XRPL Las Vegas 2026, while Ripple executives say the gap is exaggerated.
