Ripple has been working on expanding XRP’s utility, or so they claim. The CEO of the company Brad Garlighthouse and other executives are confident in the future they are trying to build for XRP and the entire ecosystem. The company is working tirelessly to project a positive image for the token and their other products. The community is divided between those who are optimistic about the future of XRP despite current prices and those who don’t think XRP will ever live up to its predicted potential.
Recently, Garlighthouse said the company isn’t going to be profitable if the they don’t sell tokens. This comment was made shortly after the company came under fire for selling too many tokens after promising to cut sales. There was a 1760% increase in XRP sales between the first and second quarter of 2020. He also said that they are working hard to expand their tokens utility. He also compared their products to XRP. In his words;
“Amazon started as a bookseller and just sold books. We happen to have started with payments. Two years from now, you’re going to find that Ripple is to payments as Amazon was to books.”
XRP Price Prediction – XRP Price Struggles Agaisnt the USD but it Still has What it Takes to Surge
XRP has been struggling against the USD for the past three years. Apart from the bad reputation that has affected the price of the token, another factor that has affected XRP is the dumping scheme. Even if Ripple doesn’t dump its tokens to the open market directly, the tokens hey liquidate still find their way to the market. Right now, the token has found itself in the $0.2700 to $0.3000 range. It is not clear when XRP will recover or if it will recover but working on their reputation will certainly make things better.
