Cryptoinsight believes that a common criticism of Ripple — that it sells XRP to fund traditional acquisitions — overlooks its fundamental strategy. Ripple's acquisitions, licensing, and institutional relationships are not meant to replace XRP, but to build the necessary infrastructure to enable XRP to serve as a global bridge asset. This long-term infrastructure-focused approach aligns with platforms like SolStaking, which emphasize "active patience" by providing automated USD-denominated returns from real revenue sources, ensuring capital remains efficiently operational throughout extended application cycles.
