XRP didn’t need an oil crisis narrative to rise in price.🙇‍♂️

It needs more regulatory clarity.

And that is exactly what is being delivered to the market through the SEC and CFTC.✅

Retail investors waiting for crypto to crash as a result of oil or the yen will be sidelined.🔻

You don’t need the exact bottom to make real money. You need the nerve to buy while everyone else is still waiting for the perfect moment.

Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss Rebels ⭐️ QB, is this year’s feel-good story, following in the footsteps of Indiana Heisman Trophy 🏆 QB Fernando Mendoza.

Grounded in faith, he explains the powerful impact God has on his life. He also prays with his mom and hugs her before every game.

Will he follow the same trajectory as Mendoza, win the Heisman, and lead the Rebels to a national title?

Opine ⬇️ Even depressed LSU fans are welcome to reply.

Trends come and go, but God’s Word never changes. Scripture shows us His unshifting design for our identity, Our relationships, every life, and our salvation. Culture may push back, but His truth remains our solid Rock. Stand firm on what He has spoken! 🤍

Somehow I can’t see Luke Donald treating a recent major champion and a #17 player in the world such as J.J. Spaun like this…

Maybe that’s why @RyderCupEurope keep the good vibes.

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

After JJ Spaun’s impressive victory at the BMW PGA Championship, he said he felt like he had something to prove and had “imposter syndrome” after winning the US Open in 2025:

“I believe this year was a tough year for me because internally I was fighting all these expectations of being a worthy Major Champion.

“I felt like I still had to prove to everyone that I wasn't a fluke and I wasn't some money-in-the-bottle Major Champion. You hear things about that, and it kind of eats inside a little bit. I put way too much pressure on myself to start the year.

“But once I kind of stopped caring so much, I mean, I know it's easy to say that, I mean obviously but that was kind of mantra all last season. That's why I played so well. I was on the verge of losing my job in 2024 and then I backdoored it to keep it, and I was like, Oh, this is house money, I wasn't even supposed to be here in 2025. That sort of attitude, along with obviously skill and developing and playing good, that was a breakout year.

“And then here we are back in January and I'm back to this ball of pressure and expectation and thinking I have to be this perfect golfer and to validate whatever I did in 2025.

“Once I kind of let go of that and stopped caring what other people think or what the media thought of me, I started relaxing and playing better. Then I won in San Antonio, and then once I won in San Antonio, okay, I'm pretty content with everything I've done. If I were to die tomorrow, I'd feel like I have.

“It was just getting over that hump of expectation and mindset that I had last year and I started playing better. Like this week, I didn't have a ton of expectation. I couldn't play the Tour because I woke up with a stiff neck and couldn't turn it. So I had two weeks to get ready for this and I did it.

“Sometimes no expectation is the best thing to have.”

In JJ’s last 2 seasons he’s won his first major, won again on the PGA Tour, won the DP World Tour’s flagship event and finished runner up to Rory McIlroy at The Players Championship. He’s definitely not an imposter, he’s a certified champion and he has nothing to prove to anyone.

@DPWorldTour @BMWPGA

[Golf Digest @GolfDigest]

J.J. Spaun was left off the U.S. Presidents Cup team.

So, he went to the BMW PGA at Wentworth and beat a stellar field that included Rory McIlroy, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Adam Scott.

"Hey Siri, call Brandt Snedeker...."

[InsideGolf @golfinside1]

That is some Fuck You by J.J. Spaun to Brandt Snedeker.

Imagine leaving off a 2025 Major Champion who also won a PGATour event this season, when he didn’t quite qualify on points. And instead taking 4 players below him inc. Cantlay who‘s won nothing in 4 years!

[Fore Play @ForePlayPod]

JJ Spaun did NOT hold back after his BMW PGA win when asked about being left off the Presidents Cup team.

Should he have been selected? 👀

[X Finance Bull @Xfinancebull]

Ripple Swell is going to be HUGE for $XRP.

October 27–29 in New York feels completely different from the Swells we watched years ago.

Ripple is merging Swell and Apex for the first time. More than 1,500 attendees, 100+ speakers and 80+ sessions will put the institutional side of finance in the same building as the developers shaping XRPL itself.

Look at who is walking into that room.

BNY, State Street, Barclays, Coinbase, Robinhood, Jump Trading and other financial-market players around them.

And Ripple is arriving with real infrastructure behind the conversations.

Ripple Prime clears $3T+ annually across 300+ institutional customers. It now reaches digital assets, FX, fixed income, derivatives and U.S. equities through Delta One, including 24/7 cross-margining.

XRPL itself is getting much deeper too.

Batch can connect multiple transactions so an asset and its payment settle together.

Lending is being built around credit, collateral and productive capital.

Credentials, Permissioned Domains and MPTs give institutions stronger controls around tokenized assets.

Then Aviva Investors is already working with Ripple toward tokenizing traditional fund structures on XRPL, with Alastair Sewell appearing at Swell.

I keep thinking about how all of this could eventually meet inside one transaction.

A tokenized fund sits on XRPL.

RLUSD handles the dollar side.

Batch settles the asset and payment together.

Ripple Prime handles institutional execution and financing.

Lending allows the position to become collateral.

And $XRP can serve as actual liquidity when the market needs it.

That last part is the XRP story I care about most.

I want to see XRP held because a market maker needs inventory.

Because an institution needs liquidity.

Because tokenized markets are actually using it.

And Swell lands only weeks after the SEC opened a temporary five-year pathway for qualifying tokenized NMS stocks to trade through permissioned onchain AMMs on public permissionless ledgers.

Ripple has spent years building the machinery.

Now banks, asset managers, exchanges, market makers and XRPL developers are about to sit together and talk about how to use it.

October could get very interesting for $XRP.

[John E Deaton @JohnEDeaton1]

I fought the @SECGov on behalf of 75K #XRPHolders and warned the industry that the government’s overreach was not limited to #XRP & @Ripple. I was also amicus counsel in @LBRYcom and later in the @coinbase case.

I did all that legal work pro bono. In the Ripple case the judge cited my brief and the 4K affidavits I submitted declaring “XRP itself NOT a security.”

Then the SEC acted arbitrary and capricious and denied the #BTC ETF and many then saw that I was right. Then the SEC sued Coinbase, Kraken and the rest.

If you think I’ve done anything worthwhile, its a great time to donate. Only 29% of voters believe Ed Markey should be reelected.

Although Republicans are outnumbered 3-1 in MA, in public polling - I lead Markey among independents (called unenrolled voters in MA).

And 67% of voters are independents.

We win if we raise the money to reach them.

🚨 XRP ETFs now hold over 1.1 billion XRP

XRP ETFs now hold roughly $1.57B worth of XRP, with more capital still flowing in

Momentum hasn’t stopped either, with weekly ETF flows continuing to add more $XRP 🔥

[John Squire @TheCryptoSquire]

🚨 XRP LEDGER IS ABOUT TO CHANGE 🚨

BatchV1_1 is expected to activate around September 29 if validator support holds.

It will allow XRPL to bundle up to 8 transactions so they execute together or fail together.

Institutional grade settlement is coming.

[John Squire @TheCryptoSquire]

I’m not sure if XRP will reach $750 or $1,000, but one thing I have ZERO doubt about:

XRP is going to EXPLODE. 🚀

J.J. Spaun was left off the U.S. Presidents Cup team, so he made a statement at Wentworth against a stellar field. 😤

[Evin Priest @EvinPriest]

JJ Spaun was told he was “the odd man out” by Brandt Snedeker when snubbed from the Presidents Cup team. “You can quote me on that.” So he went to the BMW PGA at Wentworth outside London and took down everyone, including Rory McIlroy. https://t.co/gJic6UirE5
