Ripple USD liquidity is on the order of $25,000/day = exactly what it was one year ago.
That is demonstrably false. Stop making up numbers.
Spend a little time on
coinmarketcap, and you will see that Ripple's daily trade volume is usually several hundred thousand USD. There was an exception last week where there was a day or two with trade volume around 1.3 million USD.
Sort all listed coins by volume, and you will find that Ripple is almost always in the top 10 and often in the top 5.
If you check in on
Ripple Charts as well, you will see that the transaction volume is usually several million per day.
With more large firms coming to Ripple, and bringing their customers enmass, this will only grow.
