And we’re off! @CMEGroup is officially live with 24/7 crypto futures & options trading, providing around-the-clock access to crypto derivatives. @Ripple Prime is a day one clearing and financing partner, supporting always-on markets.
Fun fact: $XRP futures were the fastest ever contracts on CME to cross $1B in open interest, achieving this in just 3 months last year. The institutional demand is there, and now so is the infrastructure. https://t.co/V4k7UBd5Gv
@FollowCO 💯 True that, Sir 🐈. Best case scenario a deal gets brokered in the Gulf and things move faster & smoother. Otherwise carnage follows before fun times.
@FollowCO Do you see any chances of XRP hitting $10 this year. Of course nothing is certain and events get their timelines changed. So are there any possibilities by pure speculation or utility ?

IRAN DEAL CLOSE: WAR PAUSE & NUCLEAR TALKS
The White House is nearing a one-page MOU with Iran to halt fighting and start nuclear talks. Iran is expected to respond within 48 hours; no deal is final.
Core terms:
Iran: Pause enrichment, no nukes, accept UN inspections, curb underground sites.
U.S.: Ease sanctions, release frozen assets.
Both: Loosen Strait of Hormuz restrictions.
The plan would trigger a 30-day negotiation window (likely Geneva or Islamabad). Trump has paused escalation; officials caution talks remain uncertain.
ICYMI: The U.S. Senate releases CLARITY Act compromise text, banning stablecoin yield on reserves while preserving activity-based rewards, clearing the path for a Banking Committee markup after months of negotiations between crypto firms and bank lobbyists.
