everyone fixated on the $125M fine like it's a loss. Ripple just bought regulatory clarity that no other major crypto has.

CME futures did $542M month one. Hidden Road acquisition for $1.25B. Permissioned DEX live. Cross chain to 35+ blockchains operational.

XRP's the only L1 where institutions know exactly where they stand legally. that's worth more than any settlement cost.
