Report: Tether Hires KPMG for First Full Financial Audit of USDT Reserves

XRP holders have spent years waiting for the kind of breakout that turns 
patience into confidence. But a recent message from XRP analyst Bird cuts 
through the usual price talk with a more uncomfortable point: tokens do not go 
on a price rally by themselves. Holders who do not understand this may be 
waiting for a rally driver that they themselves are failing to build. The 
Lesson Every XRP Holder Must Understand Blockchain history does not leave much 
room for debate on the point of price appreciation. The chains that generated 
the most price appreciation in the past few years, Solana, BNB, and even 
Ethereum in its various breakout phases, shared a common precondition. Their 
ecosystems were alive before their price actions went vertical. Related

$60,000 Left Memecoins built on those blockchain networks spread across social 
media, NFT collections traded hands constantly, and decentralized applications 
accumulated real users. The native token, in each case, was not leading the 
activity. It was responding to it. According to Bird, this is what every XRP 
holder must understand clearly. XRP has been treated as something to hold and 
wait on, with the bigger story based on regulation, Ripple partnerships, and 
acquisitions. Bird is pushing a different idea: that being bullish on XRP 
should also mean being bullish on the XRP Ledger itself. In other words, 
memes, NFTs, swaps, builders, dApps, and actual onchain activity are part of 
how a blockchain ecosystem proves that its native asset has real economic 
gravity. Bird noted that this has been proven over and over, and we saw it on 
XRPL in Nov ’24 too. Interestingly, Ripple’s own Q1 2025 XRP Markets Report 
said XRPL went through a clear cooldown after its strong Q4 2024 run, with 
transactions down 37.06% quarter over quarter and new wallets down 40.28%. How 
Does This Affect XRPL’s Infrastructure? The irony of the current moment is 
that the XRP Ledger is, by many technical measures, more capable than it has 
ever been. XRPL developers and validators have recently pushed some 
institutional DeFi building blocks, including permissioned domains, 
credential-based access, the token Escrow (XLS-85) amendment, and the 
XLS-65/66 lending protocol, all of which are designed to make the network 
viable for regulated financial activity. Related Reading: Analyst Who 
Predicted Bitcoin $125,000 Top Reveals What To Expect Next Holding, for many 
XRP holders, is seen as the primary act of support, a vote of confidence in 
the asset expressed through patience and conviction. But holding alone does 
not lead to activity on the XRP Ledger, and it does not create the kind of 
explosive price movement these same holders are expecting. Analysts like Bird 
believe that real engagement matters more, encouraging users to interact with 
the network by moving XRP onchain, swapping, minting, trading, and exploring 
all the offerings of the XRPL ecosystem. As he puts it, &#8220;you don’t understand 
XRPL until you use it.” Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from
