XRP News: Reflecting on the 2024 Bull Run and XRPL Growth

Dear Crypto Diary, Recent XRP news has me thinking about how far we have come since I first picked up my ballpoint pen to document this market. Looking back at my physical archives, I am holding Crypto Diary #15 today, which takes me straight back to October 19, 2024. Back then, the mood was shifting and the chart was finally pointing in the right direction. It is wild to see my hand-drawn notes from that day, where I recorded a Bitcoin price of $68,200 and XRP sitting at $0.54 with a Fear and Greed reading of 61. Sitting here in late 2026, those numbers feel like a lifetime ago, but the mission of the Crypto Diary remains exactly the same. I started this NFT collection to prove that human creativity still has a place on the blockchain. While others are pumping out generic AI-slop, I am here in my studio with neon markers and ink, making sure the XRP Ledger has a record of our history that actually has a soul. Every single page is a piece of my life and a piece of the Ripple XRP story. The energy around the XRP Ledger right now is electric, and seeing the evolution of XRPL NFTs makes all those late nights worth it. We have watched the ecosystem grow from simple tokens to a massive movement of creators and collectors who value authenticity. The XRP price might fluctuate, and the headlines in the crypto news will always be a rollercoaster, but a hand-drawn drawing is permanent. It is a snapshot of a moment that cannot be replicated by an algorithm. I remember the feeling of drawing Crypto Diary #15, watching the Fear and Greed index lean toward greed as the market started to wake up. That specific entry also captured ETH at $2,645 and SOL at $156, showing just how much the landscape has shifted. Being the BiTi Artist means documenting these cycles honestly, through the wins and the crashes, ensuring that the XRP NFT community has something tangible to hold onto in a digital world. My goal is to make this the biggest and most recognised NFT collection in the world by staying true to the craft. We are building something massive here on the XRPL, one ink stroke at a time.
