Ripple sells their bank-themed meme coin, XRP, takes cash from XRP holders, buys real businesses like custody companies and prime brokerages, launches its own stablecoin (which entirely replaces XRP for cross-border payments), and rather than sharing any of those proceeds with XRP token holders, who funded Ripple to do all of those things, those profits are solely internalized to Ripple Labs shareholders.

Then, Ripple uses the excess cash to buy back its own Ripple Labs shares from other investors; not create token value accrual for XRP.

The only thing XRP holders get is burnt XRP, which has been *only* .014% of totaly since 2012.

XRP holders are bidding Micky Mouse souvenir cups (XRP), but think they have exposure to Disney (Ripple Labs equity).
