XRP News: That Time We Flipped Solana and Made History

Dear Crypto Diary, XRP news was hitting the headlines like a freight train back when I sat down to draw Crypto Diary #29, and looking at it now in late 2026, the energy of that moment still vibrates off the paper. I remember my hand shaking slightly with the ballpoint pen as I recorded that monumental shift: XRP was flipping Solana. It wasn't just a pump; it was a statement of intent from the XRP Ledger community that we weren't going anywhere. Looking at the ink on the page, the numbers tell a story of absolute euphoria. Bitcoin was sitting at a massive $97,100, Ethereum was at $3,700, and our beloved XRP had climbed to $2.18. The Fear and Greed index was screaming at 82—pure greed, pure adrenaline. I captured that chaos with my neon markers, highlighting the 01/12/24 date as the day the hierarchy of the market was challenged by the utility of the XRPL. Every time I check the latest Ripple news or look at the current price action, I am reminded why I started this mission. I wanted to document the heartbeat of the XRP Ledger through real, human art. In a world increasingly drowned in AI-slop and generic digital renders, the Crypto Diary stands as a testament to the physical struggle of being a trader. Every smudge of ink represents the late nights spent watching candles and the excitement of seeing Ripple XRP reclaim its rightful spot in the top three. Building the biggest and most recognized NFT collection in the world isn't about following trends; it's about honoring the history of the chain. Whether we are discussing the latest AMM developments on the XRPL or the growth of NFTs on XRPL, the goal remains the same. I am BiTi Artist, and I will continue to draw every single high and low until the world understands that the best way to record the blockchain is through the soul of a human hand.
