When I joined Ripple on 9/9/2019, price of XRP was 0.26, XLM was 0.078, a 3.3 to 1 ratio. Since then Stellar burned 55B XLM, XRP was accused of being a security, delisted by US exchanges, billions dumped by @JedMcCaleb . Today XRP is 0.335 and XLM is 0.105, a 3.2 to 1 ratio.

A fast and cheap bridge currency like XRP is only part of the equation that makes ODL powerful. The less understood part is that customers can borrow XRP from Ripple on-demand so that they always have liquidity when and where they need it. Very few can replicate the latter part.

I see newfound beauty in Ripple’s strategy to keep most of their XRP in time-locked escrows. In light of this week’s meltdown of Luna and hyperinflation circulating supply, even if Ripple’s wallets were hacked, the escrows prevent any risk of circulating supply suddenly spiking.

Interesting thing I learned about the XRPL AMM. If there’s a liquidity pool for a restricted token (i.e. requires an authorized trustline) that you can’t hold, you can still provide XRP as liquidity to the pool. I don’t think this is possible with most other AMMs.
