Wynham Clark is so unpopular and such an insufferable prick that there’s only like 100 people on the 18th watching the end of the U.S. Open on the third day. Unreal.
When the Clarity Act becomes law, for the first time, there will be a consumer-friendly disclosure framework for digital assets. Not retrofitted from 1933. Built for 2026 and beyond.
For people who are worried about the market today, I get it. This stuff is very stressful.
So I put together a chart of all of the times the VIX (the "fear index" of the market) was up over 30% in a day (like today) in the past ten years.
23 out of 25 instances the market was higher one month later. The only two times it wasn't was Feb 2020 when Covid hit the economy in March 2020.
What is the underlying message? When people are afraid, they make bad decisions. Do the opposite.
Attached is a chart summarizing my results.
14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.
And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.
I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.
Happy Birthday, XRP!
For too long, the SEC was at odds with new technology and innovation, pushing entrepreneurs offshore.
That era is over.
Under President Trump’s leadership, and alongside colleagues across the Admin and Congress, we are delivering much needed clarity to digital asset markets.
🚨NEW: President Trump says his administration is building a “future-proof” digital asset market structure that can’t be undone by “crypto haters.”
This marks the first time the president has publicly weighed in on crypto market structure since March.
The health consciousness stuff has gone massively overboard. People walking around with bands tracking their vital signs every second of the day like they’re astronauts on the ISS. Treating alcohol or sugar like it’ll kill them if they look at it. Tracking their sleep. Counting their steps. It’s possible to live a healthy life without being an obsessive, paranoid lunatic. You’re gonna die either way. In a few decades you’ll be just as dead as the rest of us, if not sooner. Relax a little and live your life while you still can.
The secret sauce is simple 1/ give Corporates a trusted, regulated entry point embedded in workflows they already use, 2/ remove the friction between managing different accounts (fiat or digital). Both of those are now solved today with Ripple Treasury.
Ripple Treasury is on a tear – last year facilitating $13T in payments for customers. This year, with the addition of native digital asset capabilities? LFG!
