About this briefing
Video description
Crypto markets are volatile, and right now a lot of people aren’t just questioning price — they’re questioning the entire thesis behind the space. This video is a calm, plain-English orientation to how I think about Ripple and the XRP Ledger when fear is high and narratives are loud.
Instead of reacting to charts, this video walks through the institutional checklist I use to evaluate whether a crash actually breaks the underlying infrastructure thesis, or simply tests emotions. Regulation, custody, liquidity, stable settlement assets, treasury workflows, and ledger design — all laid out clearly in one place as an entry point you can revisit or share.

Tools I use (no hype, just what actually works):
• CoinTracking: https://cointracking.info?ref=M141981
I’ve used this for years to track trades, generate tax reports, and manage portfolio data across exchanges. It’s one of the few tools I trust for this side of crypto.
