XRP Price Plummets Despite Brazil Partnership Boost
XRP's price dropped after CSD BR, one of Brazil's core securities depositories, announced it would bring assets onto the XRP Ledger.
The development is significant as it advances XRPL adoption and institutional integration. The XRP Ledger currently holds about $6.3 billion in total assets, but this new partnership could put an additional $15 billion on the ledger before the end of the year.
Flare co-founder Hugo Philion described the market's reaction to XRP's latest news as 'lunacy', saying it makes no sense that the token dropped after potentially transformative news. He added that Flare's FLR token sometimes gets a lackluster response too.
