XRP Doesn't Work Without This Layer | The Part Everyone Ignores

XRP is fast, cheap, and built for settlement, but institutional use depends on something most people never talk about: professional liquidity. This video breaks down why market makers, order book depth, OTC execution, AMM liquidity, and Ripple Prime matter more than most adoption headlines.

The real question is not whether the XRP Ledger can settle transactions. The deeper question is whether institutions can move serious capital through XRP without unacceptable slippage, unreliable execution, or fragmented liquidity. That is where market structure becomes the missing layer.
