The more I talk to people in the crypto industry, the more I realize that most people still do not truly understand what cryptocurrency and DLT are actually for.
There is an obsession with the coins themselves, which is important, but it completely overlooks the utility these networks are designed to deliver.
People do not become successful investing in stocks because of the ticker symbol. They become successful because they understand the underlying business. Over time, the success of that business drives the value of the stock.
The same will be true for crypto.
The networks that create the greatest real world utility and become deeply embedded in the financial system will ultimately see the greatest value accrue to their native digital assets.
We are still incredibly early, and much of the market struggles to grasp the long term utility these networks can provide.
Instant settlement, shared public liquidity, and tokenization are not ideas for the future. They are real efficiencies that exist today, even at this early stage.
The networks that bring these capabilities to the trillions, and eventually quadrillions, of dollars locked inside outdated financial infrastructure will help build the next generation of financial rails.
In my opinion, those are the assets that will create the most long term value.
I am confident we will get there because market adoption will ultimately decide the winners.
What I have learned, though, is that we are still very early, and the majority of people in this industry still do not get it.

🚨SHOCKING: LEGENDARY BUBBLE CALLER JEREMY GRANTHAM SAYS "BITCOIN IS NOT WORTH A BUCKET OF WARM SPIT"
GMO co-founder Jeremy Grantham and CNBC's Joe Kernen clash over Bitcoin's future.
Jeremy further says "what is the use of crypto?"
GM all! Just a little reminder before the market starts testing everyone’s emotions this weekend..
You must always remember that long-term wealth has historically been built by owning exceptional assets through volatility, not by perfectly calling every swing.
XRP is one of those exceptional assets.
🚨🤯 JP MORGAN’S NDA JUST BLEW THE LID OFF THE XRP BOMBSHELL
Jamie Dimon KNEW This The Whole Damn Time.
Dimon straight-up admitted:
“Blockchain is real… it’s becoming more effective and efficient… faster and cheaper… Permissioned or not… Smart contracts will probably be real.”
He wasn’t describing some vague future tech. He was describing the XRP Ledger.
Fast forward to right now:
JP Morgan (via Kinexys) just executed the first-ever cross-border, cross-bank transaction connecting the XRP Ledger directly to interbank settlement rails with Ripple, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries settled in under 5 seconds, outside banking hours, across borders. Game over for the old system.
But wait. This is bigger than one transaction.
JP Morgan just dropped a massive Web3 digital identity initiative: private, self-sovereign identity where people actually own and control their own data. No more centralized honeypots. Immutable. User-controlled. Exactly the future they’ve been building toward.
And right now, @DNAOnChain is building precisely that on the XRP Ledger using ZK-proofs for private, institutional-grade credential systems. Private Identity. Compliant. Sovereign.
JP Morgan’s private Web3 identity vision just found its perfect home on XRPL.
The NDA got exposed. The pilot just went live. The dots are connecting in real time.
XRP + XDNA.
This could be the biggest institutional play in crypto history.
The banks aren’t fighting the future anymore.
They’re plugging directly into it.

JUST IN: Rosen Law Firm has announced a massive investigation into Michael Saylor’s Strategy concerning securities law violations and whether investors were misled about Bitcoin.
XRP HOLDERS 💥🚀💥🚀💥
When clarity passes and is signed
Do not expect any price movement
We need clarity and genius EFFECTIVE
That literally allows the value controlled by the institutions to flow at scale in the form of tokenized assets, tokenized securities, and stablecoins using the tech to transmit and settle the fucking transaction
XRP HOLDERS 💥🚀💥🚀
Even if Clarity is pushed till after midterms
Stop.
Breathe
I’m poor too
Look at it like this
Plan A = Save Act then Clarity
Plan B = SCOTUS rulings on race based gerrymandering + election E.O.s + deportations means we still sweep midterms and then we could get better language in the Bill
So it’s not the end of the world
But look at
No matter what
clarity will be passed
Either it happens with a little bit of poison (which will be uno-reversed out) or no poison since they lost their position in Congress
Think big and in terms of time
