How terrifying is it now
BTC, ETH, and SOL have really dropped significantly in the past few months. The fear index has now hit the "extreme fear" level - the same level as during the COVID crash, FTX collapse, and flash crash. Many people are starting to say that the crypto market is going to cool off, and it's time to prepare for the worst.
But this is actually not the first time. If you are panicking right now, you might as well take a look at what history says.

Why is XRP's rebound so short-lived?
Why couldn't the "SEC-friendly policy" support XRP as promised? There are two core issues:
Firstly: Banks actually do not need XRP.
The core selling point of the Ripple payment network is fast cross-border transfers. However, there is a fatal flaw here - banks can settle directly with fiat currency and don't need to hold XRP at all. Even more disappointing is that Ripple itself launched the stablecoin RLUSD last year, which has almost zero volatility.
For banks, a token with volatile price fluctuations is a risk. Even holding it for just a few hours can eat away at profits due to exchange rate risk. This explains why XRP has never become the preferred payment method.
Secondly:
