Men, I know it’s hard. I know you want to be better. I know you are trying to make more money, get stronger, and make your family proud.
It can feel lonely, but us men are all going through the same pains and challenges.
You are not alone.
Your brothers are all around you.
We've been working on the Clarity Act every day for 10 months, and we'll introduce bill text in the next few days — it's time to land this plane. This is about helping law enforcement fight illicit finance, passing consumer protections and keeping these markets onshore in the US.
I’m disgusted at the decision that’s just been handed down by the Federal Court in the Tickle vs Giggle case.
It flies in the face of biological reality, and strips rights from women.
Women’s spaces are not being protected and are no longer safe.
I will back Sall Grover in Parliament.
One Nation is the only party which has tried to amend the Sex Discrimination Act to remove identity politics and reflect biological reality.
I will continue with this effort to protect women’s rights in Australia.
We always knew XRP wasn't a security - and now the @SECGov has made clear what it is: a digital commodity. Grateful to the Crypto Task Force for working to deliver the clarity that markets, investors, and innovators have long deserved.
Let me make this very clear: Big Banks (think JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) are lobbying overtime to block Americans from getting higher yields on their savings—while trying to block any rewards or perks from being given to customers.
These banks, and others, pay rock-bottom rates on standard savings (often 0.01%–0.05% APY), even as the Fed pays them 4% or more. This massive spread fuels record profits, with almost none passed back to their customers / everyday depositors.
Today, the banks are desperately targeting crypto/stablecoins, where platforms plan to offer 4–5%+ yields or rewards. The ABA and other lobbyists are spending millions trying to ban or restrict those yields via bills like the Clarity Act, crying “fairness” and using words like "stability"—when it's really about protecting their low-rate monopoly and preventing deposit flight. This is anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American.
Next time you see a big bank dropping billions on a shiny new Midtown Manhattan HQ, you know exactly where that money comes from: the non-existent interest rate they “pay” you!
Fortunately, the big banks are losing this fight as customers wake up to the games…
@worldlibertyfi
An extremely pointed message from @POTUS to those who are dragging their feet on CLARITY.
This is, and always has been, about what’s in the best interest of the American people.
“Blockchain innovation is driving fast-growing businesses, and digital asset tokens like XRP serve as powerful incentive mechanisms that help bootstrap decentralized networks and align stakeholder interests.” said Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at @FTI_Global. “Within a diversified digital portfolio, we view XRP as a foundational building block. $XRPZ provides regulated custody, daily transparency and liquidity without the operational complexity of holding the token directly.”
Today is the day! We’re launching the Bitwise XRP ETF. It’s a big step forward for XRP, the world’s third-largest crypto asset,* which aims to reshape the market for global payments.
To mark this historic moment, we’re hosting a live X Space with @JoelKatz and @Matt_Hougan, moderated by @EleanorTerrett.
They’ll discuss:
- The wild journey to today
- Why XRP?
- What this means for the #XRPArmy
- How TradFi and global payments are changing
- The future of digital assets
- What’s ahead for Ripple

🚨NEW: @CanaryFunds has filed its Form 8-A. This is the final step before it goes effective at 5:30 PM ET Wednesday once the Nasdaq certifies the listing. When that happens, the last hurdle is cleared and the first $XRP spot ETF will be set to launch Thursday at market open.
🚨BREAKING: White House Crypto Chief Says “Bitcoin Is Not XRP” — and “Tens of Trillions Are Coming by The Year End” at Ripple Swell🇺🇸🚀
This might’ve been the most electric interview of @Ripple Swell 2025. Ripple CEO @bgarlinghouse sat across from @patrickjwitt Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, for a raw, high-level conversation that connected the dots between Washington, Ripple, and the next phase of crypto policy in America. Let's go over it 👇🏼
💥 “Bitcoin is not $XRP — and the market’s going to the tens of trillions.”
Brad asked Witt point-blank where crypto is headed next. Witt didn’t hesitate:
“Before the end of the year, the President wants the Market Structure Bill on his desk. After that, we’re talking about a market worth tens of trillions, with stablecoins proliferating across the globe.”
Then came the quote that turned heads:
“People need to understand — Bitcoin is not XRP. $XRP is not Ethereum. These are different assets serving different roles in the financial system.”
He described it as the decade when blockchain and traditional finance finally fuse, adding:
“The companies that will reshape the world of finance probably don’t even exist yet.”
Brad grinned: “Ripple’s been building the foundation for that moment.”
🗽 From crackdown to clarity — the U.S. flips the script
Witt didn’t sugarcoat the past:
“The previous administration turned crypto into a political issue. They thought if they buried it, it would disappear. It didn’t — it just flourished somewhere else.”
Now, he said, the mission is simple:
“President Trump wants to make the United States the dominant player in crypto again.”
And the playbook is already underway:
✅ The Genius Act — stabilized the stablecoin sector and restored confidence
🏛️ The Market Structure Bill — the next big one, targeting passage before year-end.
📈 Regulatory clarity = acquisition wave
Brad brought up Ripple’s buying spree — GTreasury, Palisade, and more.
Witt connected the dots:
“During the Biden years, there were almost no big crypto acquisitions. This quarter alone? Ninety-five. That’s what happens when you have regulatory certainty. Traditional institutions finally feel safe stepping in.”
He called it a “bullish indicator of maturity” — the moment when crypto stopped being speculative and started being structural.
⚙️ The White House Shutdown is Actually Helping Crypto
When Brad mentioned the record government shutdown, Witt laughed:
“It’s ironic, but it’s actually helping. Senators have fewer other meetings, so we’ve had more time to work with their staffs on crypto legislation.”
Instead of slowing progress, the shutdown gave the White House’s crypto council more direct access to lawmakers.
“We’re still full steam ahead — every day, morning to night,” Witt said.
🤝 On tribalism — “We either hang together, or we hang separately.”
Witt warned that division is a bigger risk than regulation itself:
“We’ll never get a perfect bill. But if we can get to 80% yes, we win. The industry needs unity — or it risks hanging separately.”
Brad agreed instantly:
“Exactly. Ripple’s whole mission has been about connection, not competition.”
“Once this framework is in place, the floodgates open. The industry is going to scale into the tens of trillions — and the United States will lead it.” 🚀
