The best Johnny Cash impersonator ever!
Jackson Cash - playing in front of Johnny Cash’s sister. Even she can’t believe it.
If you closed your eyes I don’t think you would be able to tell him a part from Johnny. Amazing.
As M2 increases, typically interest rates fall...and also typically, when this happens the crypto market, TAKES OFF! We shall see!!! this coming week should be interesting.
🚨 BREAKING:
BRAD GARLINGHOUSE TODAY ON FOX BUSINESS:
„THE GENSLER-SEC WAS AT THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LAW -
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS ABSOLUTELY LIVING UP TO THEIR PROMISES!“ 🇺🇸 #XRP
Today, @Ripple announced the acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.25B, one of the largest deals ever in the crypto space. But the price tag isn’t what’s most important – it’s that this deal marks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for crypto to access the largest and most trusted traditional markets, and vice versa.
Prime brokers (along with other key functions historically managed by banks for the most part) like Hidden Road have proven themselves as *the* trusted intermediary for the largest hedge funds, market makers, OTC desks, quant traders and more. Ripple has been a customer of Hidden Road for years, and we know their breadth of expertise firsthand, clearing $3 TRILLION annually for 300+ of the top financial institutions globally.
This is the capital and activity that will tap into XRP and the XRP Ledger’s bread-and-butter – instant, efficient, scalable and low cost movement of value. Instead of waiting for <24 hours to settle trades through fiat rails, Hidden Road will be using XRPL for clearing a portion of trades, and most consequentially, using RLUSD as collateral across its prime brokerage services, including cross-asset (crypto and traditional instrument) trades.
With this deal and the backing of Ripple’s significant balance sheet, Hidden Road will exponentially expand its capacity to service its pipeline and become the largest non-bank prime broker globally.
Ripple and Hidden Road combined are a generational leap forward, ready to truly bring the worlds of traditional and decentralized finance together. https://t.co/UYOOyQ21dG
Binance Full day of trading analysis for XRPUSDT.
As always, the majority of the trade volumes are small trade, indicating substantial bot activity.
Pricing histogram below shows the volume of trades per price point, you can never see this in Binance app, and what it means is you see how much XRP was bought at each price point. So below, 2.06, 2.10 and 2.14 clusters. Below 2.04 there is little trading, and above 2.14 not much.
So that gives us a good clue as to where the current upper and lower is trading. The rest is just noise generated by bots and manipulation.
I plan to do these two analysis daily (during weekdays) going forward. They are really interesting insight, and I think XRP enthusiasts can see, on a daily basis, just how much of the sheer volume of trades on Binance is just BOTS f~ckn with us.
I will always provide these free, so just follow to get them, promise to stop arguing with chumps online to avoid polluting your timeline :D enjoy.
Stablecoins are the highways being built on the blockchain, the utility coins [XRP] are the super fast cars that will transfer liquidity at basically light speed around the world...DYOR and choose now to get into crypto! thanks to @SMQKEDQG for continued great info!
Blockchain IS the new financial system, and it is being installed right NOW! we are in the speculation phase and going into regulatory phase this year....get in NOW...your family will thank you later.
Nothing you are watching unfold is a coincidence.
Crypto was created to underpin the US Dollar and continue it's dominance into the next century. This is a once in a 100 years opportunity. The liquidity that flows into crypto will be overwhelming. XRP.
✌️✌️ My final thoughts on the Ripple vs. SEC trial:
1. The SEC’s appeal—primarily focused on overturning Judge Torres’ ruling that “XRP, in and of itself, is not a security”—is expected to be withdrawn. This effectively removes (permanently) the risk of institutions and banks being seen as holding unregistered securities, provided they’re buying XRP through exchanges.
2. Ripple still has its cross-appeal, where they’re challenging the ruling on institutional sales and a few other items.
3. Brad Garlinghouse and Stuart Alderoty (Chief Legal Officer) broke the news about the SEC appeal withdrawal on X.
4. The SEC commissioners now need to vote on it. Notably, the majority of current commissioners are pro-crypto—so the chances of the appeal continuing are close to zero.
5. The broader war on crypto is effectively over. With Trump openly supporting it, I seriously doubt Ripple will pursue their cross-appeal much further. The fine will likely be paid from the bank escrow, and we can all start to put this four-year Biden-era mess behind us.
Long story short: it’s over—one way or another.
You may still have doubts, and that’s fine. Nothing in life is 100% (except, of course, not being able to roll a 7 on a standard die).
But based on my experience in major finance sectors—and knowing how strict banking compliance is—I’d say the “risk of playing with Ripple and XRP” is gone.
Many banks and central banks, under NDA, have already been developing blockchain solutions with Ripple, reviewing compliance standards, and running volume tests (yes, on private XRPL) to ensure everything works smoothly.
We’ve moved from uncertainty into a phase of accumulation and integration.
I’d bet body parts that within the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll start seeing major players announcing partnerships and new “value-added” services enabled by Ripple and XRP.
As excited as I am, none of this is financial advice.
This post was cleaned up using ChatGPT, but opinions are my own.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump will speak at the Digital Asset Summit tomorrow!
The Summit will be held a day after the SEC dropped its appeal. #XRP
