XRP just added ten billion dollars in market value in a single day. That doesn't happen by accident, and it didn't happen for one reason.
The immediate catalyst was the U.S. Treasury. They announced plans to double their liquidity-support operations from two billion to four billion dollars, starting September ninth.
Separate from the macro picture, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse was at the White House this week. President Trump held a crypto executive gathering and Garlinghouse was in the room.
