Ripple receives OCC approval, but XRP community grows frustrated at Swell event

Ripple concluded its annual Swell conference in New York City with a live music performance featuring British singer Ellie Goulding, who performed her chart-topping hit “Love Me Like You Do.” While the entertainment marked an impressive finale for attendees, a section of the XRP investor community voiced dissatisfaction, expecting more substantive financial announcements from the blockchain payments company. Kylo Tradez, a well-known cryptocurrency trader active on social platform X, publicly criticized Ripple’s event strategy, accusing the company of losing focus on its core promises.
