XRP Buzz Grows in Pockets — Wait for Measurable Adoption

I see growing anecdotal chatter about XRP — stories of Uber drivers and casual recognition have circulated and been amplified on social media. Those anecdotes show pockets of retail awareness but are uneven and localized.

A small, informal survey found most drivers unfamiliar with XRP, suggesting the viral stories may overstate broad retail adoption. At the same time, ETF discussion means institutional interest could quietly accumulate even if retail penetration remains limited.

I will watch for measurable breadth — ETF flows, on‑chain metrics, and larger retail ownership surveys — before treating the chatter as a durable adoption signal.
