Hey @vladtenev, I'm a Gold member and wanted to share some feedback on the Gold collection store. A lot of items there are sold out, so I'd love to see it restocked. I also saw the new HOOD Summit '26 merch on https://t.co/CWhc6tUj5T, including the Legend Keyboard and the neoprene Travel Bag, and it would be great to have those added back to the Gold collection too, ideally with Gold member perks. Could you pass this along to the team? Thanks!
🚨🔥 RIPPLE SWELL 2026 JUST GOT A LOT BIGGER — WALL STREET IS SHOWING UP
Ripple’s Swell 2026 in NYC is shaping up to be one of the biggest institutional crypto events of the year.
🏦 Adena Friedman — Nasdaq CEO
🏦 Tom Farley — Bullish CEO
🏦 Billy Hult — Tradeweb CEO
🏦 Johann Kerbrat — Robinhood Crypto
🏦 Laide Majiyagbe — BNY Mellon
🏦 Michael Blaugrund — ICE/NYSE
💧 Matt Damon — https://t.co/vJqOVVELRE co-founder
⚡ Brad Garlinghouse, Monica Long & David Schwartz
🔥 Why Robinhood matters: Robinhood is one of the biggest bridges between traditional finance and retail crypto. Its massive user base, expanding crypto business and Robinhood Chain make Johann Kerbrat’s appearance especially interesting. It could signal deeper conversations around tokenization, blockchain infrastructure, trading and potential XRPL/Ripple ecosystem integration.
Matt Damon is also expected to discuss how Ripple Payments and RLUSD are helping accelerate funding for clean-water projects.
The bigger picture? 👀
Retail + custody + exchanges + institutional markets + payments are all represented.
Swell runs October 27–29 in NYC, right as crypto regulation and institutional adoption enter a critical Q4 window.
This is looking less like a crypto conference and more like traditional finance meeting blockchain under one roof. 🚀

🚨 🇺🇸 TRUMP ANNOUNCES ‘INFINITE LIFE’ GREENLAND DEAL 🇬🇱
President Trump says the U.S. has reached a permanent security agreement with Denmark and Greenland, giving Washington lasting control over Greenland’s security and other defense needs.
Trump says the deal will:
🇺🇸 Expand the U.S. military presence
🛡️ Give the U.S. broad authority to defend Greenland and America
🚫 Block adversaries from establishing bases or military forces without U.S. approval
💰 Come at “NO COST” to the U.S.
Trump calls it an “Infinite Life” agreement with “no end.”
The announcement follows months of tensions over Greenland’s strategic location, Arctic security, Russia and China—and Washington’s push for greater U.S. access.
⚠️ The full legal terms have not yet been publicly released, and Denmark and Greenland had not immediately provided detailed confirmation.
This is a major shift in the U.S. security footprint in the Arctic. 👀

🚨 🇯🇵 JAPAN’S NEXT RATE MOVE COULD HIT GLOBAL MARKETS
The Bank of Japan is expected to raise rates from 1.00% to 1.25% Friday—the highest level in 31 years.
🇺🇸 US rates now sit at 3.75%–4.00%, leaving a massive gap even after a BOJ hike.
That spread has helped power the yen carry trade: borrow cheaply in Japan and deploy capital into higher-yielding assets overseas.
But the trade is already under pressure. The yen has swung sharply from around ¥164/$ in July, while Japan’s 10-year yield recently hit 3% for the first time since 1996.
Japan also faces a huge fiscal constraint: government debt is roughly twice the size of its economy, while rising bond yields are pushing debt-servicing costs higher. FY2026 interest payments are budgeted at ¥13 trillion, up from ¥9.7 trillion in FY2024.
Meanwhile, August core inflation came in at 1.7%, below the 1.8% forecast.
A 25-bps hike is widely expected. The bigger market question: what does Governor Ueda signal about future hikes?
A surprise 50-bps move—or a significantly more hawkish outlook—could accelerate yen strength and pressure carry trades and global risk assets.
Even at 1.50%, the US-Japan rate gap would remain above 2 percentage points.
👀 Watch the yen. Watch JGB yields. Watch global liquidity.

🚨 CLARITY ACT: DEMOCRATS SAY THE FIGHT ISN’T OVER 🇺🇸
Seven Senate Democrats who voted against advancing the CLARITY Act now say they remain committed to passing bipartisan crypto market-structure legislation.
Their statement comes just one day after the Senate vote failed to reach the 60-vote threshold, ending 49–50.
The senators say the next effort should address:
⚖️ Ethics rules
🛡️ Consumer protection
🏛️ Regulatory certainty
🚨 Bad actors
The bill remains stalled, but Democrats are signaling that negotiations could continue. 👀

🚨 XRP JUST ENTERED THE AI AGENT ECONOMY 🤖⚡
Ripple has integrated $XRP and $RLUSD into Stripe & Tempo’s Machine Payments Protocol through the new XRPL AI Starter Kit.
AI agents can now be built to:
💰 Pay for APIs, data & computing
🔄 Handle recurring XRP payment sessions
🌐 Manage wallets across multiple blockchains
🔐 Use spending limits & approved destinations
This connects XRPL to an emerging machine-to-machine payment standard—where AI agents can transact autonomously without a human approving every payment.
⚠️ The integration is still in beta, so commercial adoption and payment volume remain unproven.
But the infrastructure is being built.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 THE SEC IS OPENING THE DOOR TO ONCHAIN STOCK TRADING.
The SEC has moved to allow tokenized securities to trade onchain under limited, temporary regulatory relief, as it works toward a permanent framework.
That could allow platforms to offer tokenized versions of stocks like Apple and Tesla while testing blockchain-based trading infrastructure.
📈 The bigger picture: stocks moving onchain could mean faster settlement, 24/7 markets, greater transparency and programmable financial assets.
⚠️ Important: Tokenized stocks are still securities. The relief is limited and does not mean traditional securities laws no longer apply. (https://t.co/Psd2z5vg7C)
This could be a major step toward bringing traditional equities onto blockchain rails.

🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 TRUMP THREATENS HEAVY TARIFFS — AND POSSIBLY CUTTING OFF TRADE WITH EUROPE
President Trump says the EU allowing Canada to become an “associate member” could be considered a “hostile act” toward the United States.
Trump warned that if the move is made with negative intent toward the U.S., “we’ll put massive tariffs on Canada and the European Union,” and said the U.S. could potentially “cut off trade” with them.
The warning comes just hours after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the EU’s first-ever associate member, opening the door to deeper economic, technology, energy and defense ties. (AP News)
🇺🇸 Trump: Massive tariffs — potentially cutting off trade
🇨🇦 Canada: Pursuing closer ties with Europe
🇪🇺 EU: Proposing an unprecedented new relationship with Canada
Another major escalation in the U.S.–Canada–Europe trade standoff.

🚨 $2.2 TRILLION WIPED OUT IN JUST 2 HOURS 🚨
Markets just got hit with a massive risk-off move as Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish message, reinforcing the Fed’s focus on fighting persistent inflation and leaving the door open to further tightening. (Benzinga)
📉 S&P 500: -1.46% → ~$1.0T erased
📉 Nasdaq: -1.41% → ~$530B erased
🟡 Gold: -3.01% → ~$900B erased
⚪ Silver: -4.02% → ~$140B erased
₿ Bitcoin: -1.96% → ~$30B erased
That’s roughly $2.6T in headline market-value declines based on the figures above.
The message from markets is clear: higher-for-longer risk is back in focus. Rising yields and a stronger dollar are putting pressure on equities, precious metals and crypto. (The Wall Street Journal)
⚠️ Hawkish Fed + higher yields = risk assets under pressure.

🚨 JUST IN: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR KEVIN WARSH: “INFLATION IS TOO HIGH.”
Warsh says the Federal Reserve is not confident inflation is moving toward its 2% target quickly enough.
📈 The Fed just raised rates 25 bps to 3.75%–4.00% and its latest projections point to one more 25-bps hike this year.
🔥 That’s a much more hawkish message than markets wanted to hear.
The key issue now isn’t today’s hike—it’s whether the Fed is entering a new tightening cycle as inflation, oil prices and long-term Treasury yields remain elevated.
📉 Higher-for-longer rates = more pressure on stocks, crypto and other risk assets.
All eyes are now on Warsh’s comments for clues on how high rates ultimately need to go.
