@mrcauliman You’ve lost all credibility.

@1776Logic @GavinNewsom This must be a real person.

@CryptoWendyO You work as an influencer for crypto, if you worked ‘in’ crypto you would understand the words coming out of your mouth. You don’t, simply a lowly messenger.

@MrZackMorris ….Things that never happened.

@elonmusk @BasedMikeLee Imagine trying to keep up the image of one of the greatest minds in the world, yet continuously spewing easily verifiable bullshit every day.

@Quez_Fame @Cointelegraph @reynosismo_ Stop.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

@Cointelegraph This has nothing to do with news, please stop.

@SamJenkins12 @EleanorTerrett @Yellowstone Gotta pay to play, still trying to run this account grassroots. I’ve spent $4 thus far. Quack back and help us out haha.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

@EleanorTerrett @Yellowstone We must fix this.

'CLARITY Act failed' is doing a lot of work to make people think nothing changed. Same month: a joint SEC-CFTC digital commodity interpretation, CFTC bitcoin perpetuals guidance, and a still-live procedural path via Tillis's motion to reconsider. Less clarity in the headlines, more clarity in the actual rulebook.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

Wall Street read Tuesday differently than crypto Twitter did. Bernstein's take: a failed CLARITY cloture vote makes SEC/CFTC rulemaking MORE aggressive and faster, not less — agencies fill the vacuum Congress leaves. If you're waiting on legislative 'clarity' before positioning, you might be watching the wrong branch of government.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

Everyone's fixated on Tuesday's failed vote. Bigger story: SEC and CFTC aren't waiting on Congress. Back in August the two agencies already issued a joint 'Regulation Crypto Assets' interpretation covering digital commodities, CFTC guidance on bitcoin perpetuals, and a directive on leveraged crypto/asset-market designation. Market structure rules are shipping on the agency calendar whether CLARITY ever passes or not.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

The other Tuesday headline: Sen. Warren went all-in urging Democrats to reject the 'ethics' compromise language — several accounts flagged this as the real holdup. It's about conflicts from Trump-family crypto ventures, not crypto policy itself. That's the actual sticking point, not partisan obstruction.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

The CLARITY Act didn't fail by a landslide — the actual tally was 49-50 on the underlying question. Cloture needs 60. That's an 11-vote gap, not a rejection. Worth remembering next time a headline says the bill 'died.'

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

Tillis voting NO on Tuesday's CLARITY cloture wasn't a defection — it was the opposite. Only a senator on the prevailing side can file a motion to reconsider. He flipped his own vote to keep the parliamentary door open. The bill isn't dead, it's paused.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

Crypto Twitter's still buzzing about Tuesday's failed CLARITY Act cloture vote — Coin Bureau flagged Senate Dems' last-minute counterproposal, JackTheRippler had the whip count at 7-10 Dem yes votes (needed 7), Ash Crypto's 'Lambo or McDonald's' chart summed up the market mood. None of it mattered — bill stalled at 49-50.

[TruthTokenDuck @TruthTokenDuck]

Took a break so cryptwit can digest all the information this week, as the the major accounts do so in such poorly informed fashion. That’s why we’re bringing real news back.

$XRP RUMOR CHECK

$XRP got attached to Stripe, a rejected ETF, a $130 million dump, a hardware-wallet breach, and a Nasdaq listing today. There are real stories underneath all of those. The headlines are the problem.

The Stripe story is real, but Stripe didn’t suddenly adopt $XRP. RippleX released XRPL AI Starter Kit v1.1, which lets developers use XRPL as a settlement option with Stripe and Tempo’s Machine Payments Protocol. $XRP can be used for certain payments through the kit. That’s a legitimate integration path. It isn’t Stripe announcing that its customers are now paying with $XRP, and there’s no published production volume yet. A developer kit supporting Stripe’s payment standard and Stripe adopting $XRP are two different things.

The SEC rejected another $XRP ETF headline is bullshit too. The Teucrium filing delays the 2x Short Daily $XRP ETF until Oct. 11. It doesn’t reject it. Their 2x long $XRP product is already trading. Delay and denial aren’t interchangeable words just because one gets more clicks.

The D’CENT situation is serious. Ledger reconstruction shows 1,552 wallets lost just over 2 million $XRP during the Sept. 15 drain. But D’CENT says the confirmed cases involve its App Wallet, not a confirmed breach of its hardware wallets. If somebody used the same recovery phrase in the App Wallet, that’s a different situation. Saying hardware wallets got hacked takes a real theft and changes what actually happened.

Then there’s the 100 million $XRP that left Uphold today. The transaction is real. It moved from a labeled Uphold wallet to an unlabeled address. What isn’t on the ledger is the reason. There’s no field that says whale dumping. It could be a withdrawal, custody movement, OTC activity, or something else. Until there’s evidence showing what happened next, it’s a 100 million $XRP transfer. Period.

Franklin’s $3.5 million is real too. Its XRPZ fund recorded about $3.5 million of net inflow on Sept. 16. That’s money flowing into an existing $XRP investment product. It isn’t Franklin suddenly making some new $3.5 million corporate bet on $XRP today.

The Nasdaq story is early. Evernorth has a large disclosed $XRP treasury and a Sept. 30 shareholder vote tied to its proposed combination and XRPN listing. That vote hasn’t happened yet. Calling XRPN a new Nasdaq-listed $XRP company today is running ahead of the actual process.

Something actually changed on XRPL. BatchV1_1 crossed 80% validator support and entered its 14-day activation window. It’s sitting at 29 of 35 validators in this snapshot. If that support holds, activation is projected around Sept. 29. It isn’t live yet. Crossing 80% starts the clock. Holding it for the required period is what gets the amendment enabled.

CLARITY is still getting recycled too. The Sept. 15 cloture vote failed. That didn’t reopen the Ripple case, erase $XRP’s existing regulatory record, or magically change the asset into something else. Nothing new happened there today.

Strip away the headlines and today was pretty straightforward. XRPL got another developer path into AI payments. BatchV1_1 is counting down. Existing $XRP funds are still taking money in. The D’CENT theft is real, but the confirmed scope is the App Wallet. The 100 million $XRP Uphold transfer is real, but nobody has proven it was a dump. That’s where everything actually stands.

@LeaderAlphaNews @CantonNetwork As the XRP story goes, and cryptwit narrative. These type of posts just continue to pound in an age old story that never existed. Crypto grows together, there will never be just one, so please inform yourself, before choosing to post nonsense again.
