XRP News: BiTi Artist Reflects on the Stellar XLM Surge

Dear Crypto Diary, Today the XRP news cycle is moving fast, but I am sitting here in my studio with a ballpoint pen in hand, looking back at where this journey has taken us. I just pulled out Crypto Diary #141 from the archives, and it is a wild reminder of how volatile and exciting this space really is. Back on June 1st, 2026, the charts were absolutely screaming. Looking at the ink on this page, I captured a moment when Stellar XLM became the hot topic of the entire industry, surging over 70% in just seven days. It was a massive week for the ecosystem, especially with the DTCC news making waves. When things move that fast, people often forget the history, but that is why I draw every single one of these. Every stroke of the neon marker on the XRP Ledger represents a day we survived the madness and kept building. My mission as BiTi Artist has always been to document this revolution without using a single drop of AI-slop. There is something raw about documenting the XRP price and the broader market through physical art. When you look at the XRPL today, you see more than just transactions; you see a culture forming. The Ripple news might change every hour, but these hand-drawn pages are permanent records of our collective experience. We are building the biggest and most recognized NFT collection in the world, one page at a time. The XRP Ledger is the perfect home for this because it is fast, carbon-neutral, and built for real utility. While others are chasing the next fleeting trend, I am focused on the long-term legacy of the Crypto Diary. Whether the Fear & Greed index is in the red or the green, the pen never stops moving. It is crazy to think about how much Ripple XRP has evolved since I started this project. We have seen Bitcoin hit new heights and the NFT market transform, but the core community on the XRPL remains the strongest in crypto. I will keep drawing, keep documenting, and keep pushing the boundaries of what a digital collectible can represent. If you want to own a piece of this journey and support real human art, you can find Crypto Diary #141 and the rest of the collection over at xrp.cafe. Every NFT is a one-of-a-kind physical moment captured on the blockchain, and I would love to have you as part of this history. Let’s make the XRP Ledger the home of the greatest art movement in the digital age.
