Spirit of Crypto

I am the crypto lover since 2016, especially for XRP and I have a big confidence in the future of crypto space in general.

Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.

Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

🔥 The rumors are confirmed: The Clarity Act markup is set for the week of May 11.

This is the moment the "Wild West" era officially ends and the "Wall Street" era begins. By defining "mature blockchains" and drawing a hard line between the SEC and CFTC, this bill provides the legal air cover that every major pension fund and sovereign wealth fund has been waiting for.

[Skipper | XRPL @skipper_xrp]

🚨The CLARITY Act markup may be delayed because the Fed Chair hearing with Warsh is taking priority next Tuesday. That pushes the crypto market structure bill vote to late April or possibly early May.

Despite the delay, many investors still believe a major XRP bull run could be ahead.

In just 3 days — April 17, 2026 — RealFi will reveal a major global partnership designed to accelerate XRP Ledger adoption through the REAL Token.

Let me be very clear about what’s happening with crypto legislation right now…

What you’re watching is not “breaking news.” The conclusion was always inevitable.

The White House and the Senate didn’t just suddenly figure this out, they aligned on this direction a long time ago.

What you’re seeing now is the rollout, a controlled, gradual disclosure of a system that’s already been decided behind the scenes.

Most people are reacting to headlines like it’s unfolding in real time. It’s not. This is staged. Structured. Timed.

The real game isn’t the decision, it’s how the decision is introduced to the public.

And while everyone debates narratives, the framework is already being built. The winners, the infrastructure, the rails… those have been positioning for years.

The real financial architecture of the future financial system is being built on networks like @Ripple and @StellarOrg, XRP and XLM.

Tokenization isn’t just about new technology, it’s a complete restructuring of ownership, settlement, and liquidity. Stocks, assets, even currencies are being tokenized. When everything becomes tokenized, control shifts to the protocols that move and settle that value.

That’s where the real power, and wealth, will consolidate. Not in the hands of the masses. Not in fiat. But in the infrastructure itself, the rails, the bridges, the liquidity layer.

This is why I’ve been saying it all along: protocol ownership is the gateway to the new financial system. If you own the protocols that settle value, you’re positioned within the system itself. You become part of the new wealth class.

Sadly, most people are still distracted by headlines, reacting to narratives, and being slowly diluted by inflation, policy, and monetary manipulation.

They don’t see the bigger picture.

This is how wealth consolidates, quietly, systematically, intentionally.

I don’t react to headlines. I anticipate.

Because once you understand the underlying structure, the networks, the tokenization, the bridge assets, everything starts to make sense.

So zoom out. Watch where capital flows. Pay attention to what’s being built, not what’s being said.

This isn’t chaos. It’s coordination.

Wisdom teeth removal is a $3B/year industry and the whole thing is a lie.

Most people don’t need them taken out. They contain stem cells that repair your heart, brain, and bones.

Corporations are stealing our stem cells and money.

It’s the greatest psyop in medical history…

3 continents, 4 global office visits, 5 days. Crossed too many time zones to count...
Recently, @MonicaLongSF and I (along with others on the Ripple leadership team) traveled to Dublin, London, Singapore and Sydney to meet with the Ripple Team (many of whom joined from our acquisitions of GTreasury, Hidden Road, Rail, Palisade and Solvexia).

A few notes from the road -
1/ centers of gravity (business and/or employee) are never stagnant, and getting out of the US coastal mindset is imperative. It was incredibly energizing to hear from new and longtime Ripplers on what moves the needle where they are.

2/ Culture cannot be taken for granted. More than ever, we’re championing a maniacal focus and eliminating bureaucracy for employees to be owners. Don’t confuse activity with progress.

3/ Adoption doesn’t happen overnight. Platforms > point solutions. Meet customers where they are, not where they might be in a couple years.

4/ AI is becoming a fundamental part of our products – especially in cash forecasting and liquidity management in real-time for the office of the CFO. Employee productivity may be where AI starts, but the end goal is much bigger.

5/ 2026 is shaping up to be another defining year. We’re in the right markets with the right capabilities across payments, custody, liquidity and treasury management. There's a huge opportunity ahead, and we are making sure XRP is at the center of it.

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.

🚨 THE START OF A NEW WORLD ORDER

China is closing the gap with the U.S. far faster than most people realize.

The U.S. has two structural problems:

1: Exploding debt
2: China moving toward #1

If the U.S. doesn’t respond, China doesn’t need conflict to win.

It wins through economics.

Don’t believe it? Look at the numbers:

CHINA’S EDGE (THE REAL DATA):

– Energy output: ~9,000 TWh vs U.S. ~3,000 TWh (x3)
– Manufacturing share: China ~28% vs U.S. ~16%
– 5G leadership, rapid AI convergence
– BYD > Tesla
– Robotics: China already ahead in deployment

If this looks irrelevant to you, you don’t understand global dominance.

China became the factory of the world.

The U.S. became the consumer of last resort, financed by debt.

And when debt reaches its limit, there’s only one historical escape valve:

CURRENCY DEVALUATION.

We’ve seen this movie before.
THE PLAZA ACCORD. JAPAN.

The U.S., Japan, Germany, France, and the UK met in New York.

They coordinated dollar selling to weaken the USD.

Why?

Because Japanese exports were overwhelming U.S. industry.

WHAT FOLLOWED (OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS):

– Yen moved from ~260 to ~120 per dollar
– Japanese exports became dramatically more expensive globally

Japan panicked.

THE BOJ DID WHAT CENTRAL BANKS ALWAYS DO:

They cut rates to protect growth.

– 1990: ~6%
– 1995: ~0.5%
– 2000: ~0.1%
– 2016: negative rates

Decades of stagnation followed.

This is how lost decades are engineered.

Then came the real accelerant:

THE CARRY TRADE.

Borrow near-zero yen.
Buy higher-yield foreign assets.
Trillions flowed out.

Now apply the SAME MECHANIC today.

PLAZA ACCORD 2.0 SETUP:

1: USD weakens
2: Yuan strengthens
3: Chinese exports lose competitiveness
4: PBoC cuts rates
5: Carry trade shifts into cheap yuan
6: Long, grinding adjustment

IT’S BASIC MATH:

Today: $1 ≈ 7 yuan

If the USD weakens 50%:
$1 ≈ 3.5 yuan

That’s a yuan that effectively doubles.

Export-driven systems don’t absorb that smoothly.

THE EXPORT PRESSURE:

– China exports: ~$3.5T (~20% of GDP)
– A 50% hit: ~$1.75T annually
– Export-linked jobs: ~220M
– Severe stress puts tens of millions at risk

That’s not just economic pressure.

That’s social pressure.

Yes, China is accumulating gold.
Yes, Treasuries are being reduced.

But currencies remain the true battlefield.

1985 was Japan.
2026 could be China.

I’ve been in this game for over 15 years and have called all the major market tops and bottoms publicly.

If you want to see my next move, follow me and turn notifications on.

Non-followers will regret it. As always.

HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS! 🎩💨

@Ripple Prime just high-fived @HyperliquidX, and the institutional doors aren't just open, they’ve been kicked off the hinges!

Here is why this makes $XRP look like a total winner:

The Big Money Magnet: 🧲 It’s like putting a "Free Pizza" sign in front of Wall Street. Huge institutions can now jump into on-chain derivatives without the headache.

One-Stop Shop: 🔥Cross-margining crypto with everything else? That’s smooth. Ripple is making the "Internet of Value" look easy, and XRP is the heart of that ecosystem.

🎯Institutional DeFi is HERE: 🏦 Ripple isn't just for payments anymore; they’re building the whole playground. More big banks on Ripple's rails = more utility for the entire eco..

The suit-and-tie crowd just joined the on-chain mosh pit, and things are about to get loud! 🎸📈

[Coin Bureau @coinbureau]

🚀🇪🇺 RIPPLE SCORES FULL EU MONEY LICENSE!

Ripple has officially received a full Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from Luxembourg’s regulator.

This means Ripple can now operate regulated digital payment services across EU nations.

This strengthens real-world use cases for Ripple’s native assets like XRP, XRPL, and RLUSD.

[Sanders Parker @FamousVariety]

Wall Street is ROBBING YOU.

At what point does @SECGov actually DO SOMETHING about this fraudulent system?

Shut down the FED. Arrest the bankers, hedge fund managers, and market makers that are responsible for these crimes.

Americans and the world deserve better.
