The XRP price narrative is heating up again as markets brace for the pivotal FOMC meeting on December 9-10, 2025. With crypto trading sideways during a tense macro reset, many analysts believe XRP could be one of the biggest beneficiaries if the Federal Reserve confirms a dovish shift.

Both sto­ries broke while Curie—unsurprisingly, the sole woman in the photo—was attend­ing the con­fer­ence in Brus­sels.

Then junior year hit, and suddenly those same study methods feel completely useless when you’re preparing for exams. What happened?
