For what reason tho? banks have no reason at all to purchase xrp... they are just in it for the xRapid software, and xrp is not a stock in any way, its not like company profits of the software will stream into XRP, even ripple labs themselves says XRP is just a speculative asset... so why would it pump outside of speculation? (Not hating, just a serious question)
