Per @CMEGroup data, XRP Futures contracts were the fastest-ever (just over 3 months) to hit $1B in open interest.

Think you know who uses crypto?

This might change your mind 💭

The data tells a different story than the stereotypes.

Take a closer look:

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Thank you @SenatorTimScott and the entire Senate Banking Committee for hosting its first hearing on comprehensive crypto market structure legislation today. In a refreshing change from the rhetoric of the Gensler years, every Senator affirmed that crypto technology is here to stay and deserves rules of the road.

The legislative process is rarely simple, but we’re past the starting line, and that in and of itself is a MAJOR step that gives me hope that the US can make up for lost ground.

Freedom. Democracy. Opportunity. 🇺🇸
Crypto is financial independence, powered by technology.

Managing your own assets.
Building a future on your own terms.

Today, we celebrate freedom in all forms.

Thanks, @s_alderoty! Time for unbanked communities to learn how to become their own bankers.

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

[H00dB@nk3r: Banking on Ourselves @khmtkds]

@BrianHowell33 Right! I'm looking at seating maps and sidelines. Home side or Away side?

[H00dB@nk3r: Banking on Ourselves @khmtkds]

@BrianHowell33 Would buffs be home or away team in Big12 championship game?

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

The SEC asked for $2B, and the Court reduced their demand by ~94% recognizing that they had overplayed their hand. We respect the Court’s decision and have clarity to continue growing our company.

This is a victory for Ripple, the industry and the rule of law. The SEC’s headwinds against the whole of the XRP community are gone.

[H00dB@nk3r: Banking on Ourselves @khmtkds]

Seriously, RIGHT!

[Ʉnlock Protocol @UnlockProtocol]

RIGHT? #Devconnect

[H00dB@nk3r: Banking on Ourselves @khmtkds]

Wow! What an amazing night with the XRP army.

[Jenna @JennaXCrypto]

Guys… the line is 49 blocks. I might not make it

If I don’t get in, I’m shorting XRP and selling all my bags

Welcome to O̵f̵f̵i̵c̵e̵ After Hours with me! Let’s clear up this confusion about securities, investment contracts and digital assets.

[H00dB@nk3r: Banking on Ourselves @khmtkds]

Definitely not financial information. However, learning can be fun. https://t.co/UKXmPDWDBr

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

1/ It’s been 5 years since Bill Hinman gave his infamous speech – and through the SEC’s lawsuit against @Ripple (and 7 court orders), we can finally share what happened behind the scenes through the now public emails / drafts of the speech.

A chart by @mirandahalpern with the latest pitchbook data showing the quarter-by-quarter deal activity for all-female teams and mixed-gender teams.

"This Q1, there was a 53% year-over-year decline from the $1.7 billion all-female founding teams raised in Q1 2022."
