XRP Ledger: Looking Back at the XLM Moonshot of 2026

Dear Crypto Diary, The XRP Ledger is buzzing with energy today as I sit here in late 2026, gripping my ballpoint pen and reflecting on how far this journey has taken us. Looking back at Crypto Diary #141 from June 1st, I am reminded of how volatile and exciting this space truly is. On that specific day captured in the drawing, the primary focus wasn't just on Ripple, but on its sibling, XLM. The page notes that Stellar was the hot topic at the time, screaming up over seventy percent in just seven days. It was a wild moment for the XRPL community to watch, especially with the DTCC news swirling around. Even though I spend my days focused on the XRP Ledger, seeing the broader ecosystem ignite like that always fuels my creativity for the next hand-drawn page. Every time I put pen to paper, I am fighting against the wave of soulless AI-slop flooding the internet. My mission as BiTi Artist has always been clear: to document the history of Ripple XRP and the wider market through authentic, human-made art. There is something raw about documenting an XRP NFT page while the market is in price discovery mode. You can feel the tension of the candles in the strokes of the neon markers. Today, the XRP Ledger feels more robust than ever. With the evolution of the AMM and the growing secondary market for an NFT collection that actually means something, the vision is becoming reality. People are searching for genuine XRP news, but they are also searching for a culture they can belong to. The Crypto Diary isn't just a ledger of prices; it is a timestamp of our shared struggle and triumph in the crypto world. We are building the biggest and most recognised NFT collection on the planet, one day at a time. Whether it is Bitcoin hitting new heights or the XRP price finally breaking free of its old constraints, I will be here with my diary to record it. No shortcuts, no algorithms, just ink and grit. You can witness this history yourself by heading over to xrp.cafe to collect Crypto Diary #141 or explore the other entries in the archive. Each piece is a unique fragment of the XRP Ledger story, hand-drawn by me to ensure that the legacy of this bull run is never forgotten.
