@tradingempire.en: Why did XRP wait 14 years for an official X account? What every XRP holder should know about the launch On October 19, 2026, Ripple and the XRPL Foundation switched on a joint channel for XRP. The follower count jumped, the price barely moved. Here is the context. The handle was registered on October 15 and posted for the first time on October 19 at 16:08 UTC. Within roughly 13 hours it had passed 111,000 followers, and the debut post drew more than 3.2 million views. The account is run jointly by Ripple and the XRP Ledger Foundation and is meant to speak for the asset itself, separate from Ripple the company. Its bio states up front that its posts are no financial advice. The launch lands in a weak stretch for the token. XRP stood at around 1.33 dollars on October 20, 2026 according to CoinGecko, with a market cap near 84 billion dollars at rank 5. In early January the coin was still near 2.80 dollars, so the year to date decline works out to roughly 50 percent. The all time high of 3.65 dollars from July 18, 2025 sits about 64 percent above the current level. Ripple itself has had a busy 2026: full MiCA authorization in Europe in July, a September partnership with Brazilian financial infrastructure provider CSD BR, and record tokenized asset value on the ledger. Much of that activity, however, runs through the RLUSD stablecoin or tokenized assets that require very little XRP to move, which is why progress at Ripple translates only partially into demand for the coin. Whether a dedicated channel changes that is an open question. Supporters point to projects like Quant that have centralized their communication for years. Skeptics reply that followers are not buyers and that an account built on education rather than price talk is unlikely to shift demand on its own. What would you want from an official XRP channel, education or marketing? This content is for informational and educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
