XRP Price Reflections: From $3.08 to Global Recognition

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here looking back at the XRP price action recorded in my archives and it is wild to see how far the XRP Ledger has come. Today, on October 10th, 2026, I am holding Crypto Diary #41 in my hands. This specific page is a core piece of my hand-drawn journey, capturing that strange transition period back on January 31st, 2025. Looking at the ink on this page, I remember the feeling of that day vividly. The entry notes that it wasn't quite crypto winter, but also not yet a full spring. The Fear and Greed index sat at a neutral 54. The market was holding its breath. The XRP price was recorded at exactly $3.08, while Bitcoin was sitting at $105,000 and Ethereum at $3,400. Back then, we were just beginning to see the true power of the XRPL and what Ripple news would mean for institutional adoption. Every line on this page was drawn by my own hand with a ballpoint pen. In a world now flooded with generic AI-slop, these physical records of our financial history feel more important than ever. I started the Crypto Diary to ensure that the highs and lows of the XRP Ledger were preserved as real human art. We are building the most recognized NFT collection in the world, one page at a time, documenting every Ripple XRP milestone that defines this era. Since I drew Crypto Diary #41, the ecosystem has exploded. The growth of NFTs on XRPL and the evolution of the AMM have turned the ledger into a powerhouse of decentralized finance. Seeing the XRP price at $3.08 on that old page feels like a lifetime ago, especially considering the massive infrastructure Ripple has built since then. My mission remains the same: to show the world that the best NFT art isn't generated by a prompt, but earned through hours of sketching and documenting the truth of the markets. If you want to own a literal piece of history, you can find this original hand-drawn entry and others from the collection at xrp.cafe/collection/crypto-diary.
