  Price is up 0.13% hmm.... I would expect xrp to be in $3 by now. Thanks for link Hugues.
  Well this is a strange and well known phenomenon. It is in stocks, bonds, other investment product including cryptos;
  When an announcement is made it has a result on the value.
  So when it is a positive announcement it results in a higher value.
  When it is a negative announcement it results in lower value.
  Sound clear!
  When it is an announcement for a future happening it is a bit different.
  When that happening (announced in the past) starts, it affects a (temporarily)à dump of value because the value is (was) already accepted and formed by the market between the time of announcement and start.

  What is xRapid???
  xRapid by Ripple utilizes XRP to power international transfers. An institution that wishes to make an international payment first connects to a digital asset exchange, exchanging the originating transfer currency for XRP. The newly converted XRP is then sent to a digital asset exchange in the country where the payment is being received, where it is converted into local fiat.
  xRapid, is commercially available and moving into production with multiple customers, including MercuryFX, Cuallix and Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union. xRapid eliminates the need for a pre-funded nostro account when executing a cross-border payment. It sources liquidity from XRP on exchanges around the world. As a result, cross-border transactions occur in minutes and at a lower cost compared to traditional methods, which take days and incur high foreign exchange fees.
