Ah, March 1st-a date that seems to have the same weight as New Year’s resolutions. The White House, in its infinite wisdom, decided that this day would be the endpoint for the banking industry and crypto firms to finally kiss and make up over stablecoin yields. How quaint!

In a span of time so brief it could be measured in the blink of a socialite’s eye, the XRP Ledger’s payment volume has ballooned to a preposterous 1.2 billion XRP, a 400% surge that leaves one wondering if the ledger has taken up quaffing champagne. This eruption coincides, with almost comical precision, with XRP’s feeble attempt to establish a foothold on the price chart, a maneuver as precarious as a debutante’s first waltz.
