RIPPLE CTO SHUTS DOWN XRP GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY CLAIMS David Schwartz (David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz), CTO Emeritus of Ripple, has issued a direct and unambiguous rebuttal to longstanding conspiracy theories claiming the U.S. government has secret plans involving $XRP. Schwartz confirmed that no hidden agreements with governments or central banks exist around the token. Ripple does hold hundreds of NDAs, Schwartz confirmed. But he was clear these are standard commercial agreements required by banking partners. They exist to protect business interests, nothing more. Schwartz also rejected claims of secret contracts tied to pre-allocated XRP from escrow. The escrow system is fully transparent and traceable on-chain, he noted. Schwartz says those building strategies around hidden government XRP plans are operating on assumptions that do not reflect reality.

RIPPLE CTO TRIMS XRP EXPOSURE, CHOOSES STABILITY OVER UPSIDE David Schwartz, Ripple's CTO Emeritus, has publicly admitted he holds little $XRP, saying he has moved most of his assets away from crypto exposure. Speaking candidly, he acknowledged this could mean missing what he called a once-in-a-generation wealth opportunity. Schwartz said peace of mind outweighs potential windfall gains for him personally. He added that his Ripple stock provides enough exposure to the company's fortunes. "I sleep better at night that way," he said, describing himself as a sensible investor rather than a diamond-hands holder.

🚨MARKETS: WATCHERGURU SAYS $150 $XRP IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE In a new article titled 'XRP Has No Future: What the Numbers Really Tell You', WatcherGuru points out that to reach a token value of $150 per $XRP, based on current supply... ... $XRP's market cap would have to reach $13.5 trillion. "That is around 10 times Bitcoin’s current value... This is a big part of why XRP will never go up to the levels that viral social media posts keep promising" The report does however, highlight the various major institutions that leverage Ripple's technology, as well as more feasible price predictions for 2026. This includes 21Shares' estimate for $2.45.

🚨BULLISH: CIRCULATING SUPPLY OF $XRP IS SMALLER THAN YOU THINK Analyst Versan Aljarrah of Black Swan Capitalist argues $XRP's true circulating supply is far smaller than most realize, and global settlement adoption would shrink it further. Once escrow, institutional reserves, and tokens locked in active payment rails are removed, available float drops significantly. With 6 spot ETFs live, $1.4B in institutional inflows, exchange balances falling, and the SEC case resolved, demand pressure is building fast. If banks adopt XRP at scale for cross-border settlement, basic supply-demand math points to major price discovery ahead.

Hoskinson Says XRP Needs Midnight For its Next Chapter Charles Hoskinson says Ripple may need Midnight to unlock the next phase of $XRP ecosystem growth, per Coinpedia. Speaking in a recent conversation with Wendy O, he argued that XRP has strong payment infrastructure but limited access to DeFi, tokenization, and yield opportunities. Hoskinson believes Midnight could help bridge that gap. He believes privacy, interoperability, and tokenization will define crypto's next growth phase.

Flare Network TVL is up more than 325%... Since April 28, 2025, (a little over a year ago), Flare ☀️'s TVL has seen insane growth. Over the period, its total value locked has climbed from just $37.09 million to some $157.72 million at time of writing, per DefiLlama data. The surge in adoption may have been catalysed by $FLR's increasing offerings centred around $XRP, allowing it to tap into Ripple's massive and loyal community.

XRP RALLY MAY NOT NEED CLARITY ACT $XRP's price appreciation does not depend on the CLARITY Act clearing Congress, Jake Claver, Chairman of Digital Ascension Group, says. Speaking on the Good Evening Crypto podcast with host Abdullah Nassif, he argued that the groundwork for a rally is already in place. Claver pointed to existing regulatory frameworks as sufficient. The SEC and CFTC have already issued guidelines categorizing XRP as a digital commodity. In his view, what the market needs now is implementation, not new laws.

Bankless Co-Founder Dumps Ethereum for Altcoins Like Zcash, Hyperliquid Bankless co founder David Hoffman (David Hoffman) says he sold all of his $ETH and immediately rotated into VVV, $NEAR, $ZEC, $HYPE, and ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2. Hoffman allocated roughly half the proceeds across VVV, NEAR, ZEC, and HYPE. The remaining capital was used to build a position in LIT. The move follows his view that Ethereum's market value now reflects its actual performance and that a major structural revaluation is unlikely.

XRP HAS HAD A MASSIVE 2026 SO FAR ripple:native has emerged as one of the most institutionally-adopted digital assets of 2026, with five spot ETFs trading in the US and cumulative inflows topping $1.50 billion by early March. The funds locked over 769 million XRP tokens across combined custody arrangements and recorded zero net outflow days in their first month. JPMorgan has forecast first-year inflows of $4 to $8.4 billion. Goldman Sachs disclosed a $153.8 million spot XRP ETF position in its Q4 2025 13F filing, making it the single largest known institutional holder. The allocation is distributed across Bitwise, Franklin Templeton's XRPZ, Grayscale's GXRP, and 21Shares' TOXR, accounting for roughly 73% of the top 30 institutional holdings combined. Ripple itself entered 2026 at a $50 billion private valuation, placing it among the ten most valuable private companies globally and the only blockchain-focused firm in that group. The company has logged over $95 billion in cumulative transaction volume and holds more than 75 regulatory licenses worldwide. November's $500 million strategic funding round drew Citadel Securities, Fortress, Pantera, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace, and Ripple announced a Mastercard and Gemini partnership for stablecoin-powered credit card payments the same day. XRPL adoption metrics have moved sharply alongside the institutional flows. Daily transactions hit 3 million on March 15, a threefold jump from mid-2025 averages, driven by AMM pool activity, tokenized assets, and ethereum:0x8292bb45bf1ee4d140127049757c2e0ff06317ed denominated settlement flows. Real-world asset tokenization on the ledger has grown to over $474 million with represented value approaching $1.5 billion. The ledger has now processed more than 4 billion transactions since its inception. Technical milestones have been steady through Q1. RippleX shipped a critical node stability patch (rippled 3.1.2) on March 13, an AI-driven security overhaul on March 26, and a four-phase quantum-resistance roadmap targeting 2028 with Phase 2 underway. Lending Protocol and Single Asset Vaults are under amendment voting. XRP Community Day was held February 11-12 and the 2026 RippleX roadmap is shifting toward distributed funding and governance models. Price has not kept pace with the institutional flows. XRP trades around $1.36 today, off a $3.65 high in July 2025 and well below the Trump-election-driven rally that pushed it 400% above pre-election levels. Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick has forecast $8 in 2026, citing ETF flows and CLARITY Act regulatory clarity. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse (Brad Garlinghouse) has predicted XRP capturing 14% of SWIFT volume within five years.

Average "X Return" of the Top 10 Layer One Blockchains =? SPECIAL NOTE: The current $PLS price from the PulseChain.com Ethereum fork including ERC20s network is approximately 72% lower than the original sacrifice price, meaning it is at 28% of the original sacrifice price. The original sacrifice price for PulseChain $PLS was set at a rate of $1 for 10,000 PLS, which equates to $0.0001 per PLS. The current price of $PLS, as of the latest available data, is approximately $0.000028 USD. Imagine going back in time and buying one of the Layer One Blockchains (listed below) not at their original price but at the same 72% discount that Pulsechain is currently at, BEFORE ITS FIRST EVER BULL RUN. The term "X Return" refers to the multiple of return on investment (ROI), indicating how many times an initial investment has increased in value. For the Top 10 Layer One Blockchains, foundational protocols such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others ranked by market capitalization and influence in 2025, this metric illustrates their remarkable historical growth. Bitcoin was launched on January 3, 2009, with the mining of the genesis block. It had no monetary value initially, as there were no exchanges to establish a price. The first recorded price came in October 2009, when 5,050 BTC were traded for $5.02, valuing each Bitcoin at roughly $0.0009. This translates to a staggering 120,961,832.33x return (or roughly 120 million percent) over approximately 16 years. Ethereum was launched on July 30, 2015, with its initial coin offering (ICO) in the summer of 2014, where 60 million Ether (ETH) were sold at approximately $0.311 per ETH, raising $18.3 million in Bitcoin. The first recorded exchange price in August 2015 was around $2.77, though it traded below $1 for months afterward. This translates to an 8,940.50x return (or roughly 894,050% increase) over approximately 11 years. BNB Chain (Binance Coin), the native token of the BNB Chain ecosystem, was launched in July 2017 as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network during its initial coin offering (ICO). The ICO price was approximately $0.15 per BNB. The BNB Chain itself evolved from Binance Chain (launched April 2019) and Binance Smart Chain (launched September 2020), rebranding to BNB Chain in February 2022. This translates to a 4,483.33x return (or roughly 448,333%) over approximately 8 years. Using the first recorded exchange price in August 2017, around $0.65. Solana (SOL) launched on March 16, 2020, with its main net and native token. During its initial seed funding round in 2018, SOL tokens were sold at approximately $0.04. The first recorded exchange price in April 2020 was around $0.9511. This translates to a 3,965.50x return (or roughly 396,550%) over about 7 years. Using the first exchange price ($0.9511) Ripple, the native token of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), was launched in June 2012, with 100 billion tokens pre-mined. The ICO price in 2012 was approximately $0.00589, based on early exchange data. The first recorded exchange price in February 2013 was around $0.00589. From ICO Price ($0.00589, June 2012) to current price is a 410.68x return (41,068.25% increase) over 13 years. Cardano Community (ADA) was launched in September 2017 following a series of public sales between September 2015 and January 2017, with an ICO price of approximately $0.0024 per ADA. The first recorded exchange price in October 2017 was around $0.0241. From ICO Price ($0.0024, September 2015) to current price is a 254.17x return (25,316.67% increase) over 10 years. Kaspa (KAS) was fair launched on November 7, 2021, with no pre-mine, pre-sales, or coin allocations. Trading began in June 2022 at an initial exchange price of approximately $0.000393, per data. From First Exchange Price ($0.000393, June 2022) to current price is a 195.93x return (19,492.88% increase) over 3 years. TRON DAO (TRX) was launched in September 2017 through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), raising $70 million at an ICO price of approximately $0.0019 per TRX. The first recorded exchange price in September 2017 was around $0.002. From ICO Price ($0.0019, September 2017) to current price is a 76.84x return (7,584.21% increase) over 8 years. NEAR Protocol (NEAR) launched its main net on April 22, 2020, with an initial token sale price of approximately $0.034 per NEAR during its 2019–2020 funding rounds, as noted by other sources. The first recorded exchange price in August 2020 was around $0.9854, per data. From Initial Sale Price ($0.034, 2019–2020) to current price is a 67.06x return (6,605.88% increase) over 5.2 years. Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ (ATOM) was launched in April 2017 through an initial coin offering (ICO) by the Interchain Foundation, raising $17 million at approximately $0.10 per ATOM. The main net went live in March 2019, with the first recorded exchange price in March 2019 at $6.49. From ICO Price ($0.10, April 2017) to current price is a 42.5x return (4,150%) over 8 years. The cryptocurrency market remains inherently volatile, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. While the historical data showcases the immense upside potential, future returns will depend on a combination of technological innovation, regulatory developments, global macroeconomic factors, and user adoption. Investors exploring this space should approach with both optimism and caution, recognizing the risks alongside the proven history of explosive growth in the top layer one blockchains. I do NOT calculate seed rounds into my calculations. 🏆 Final Top 10 Layer 1 Blockchains by “X Return” Bitcoin (BTC) - 120,961,832.33x Ethereum (ETH) - 8,940.50x BNB (BNB Chain) - 4,483.33x Solana (SOL) - 3,965.50x Ripple (XRP) - 410.68x Cardano (ADA) - 254.17x Kaspa (KAS) - 195.93x Tron (TRX) - 76.84x NEAR Protocol (NEAR) - 67.06x Cosmos (ATOM) - 42.5x Final "X" Average: X Average (Including BTC) 🚀 12,098,026.88x X Average (Excluding BTC) 🚀 2,048.50x A potential average of 2,048.50x on PulseChain.com Ethereum fork including ERC20s which is priced at a 72% discount BEFORE ITS FIRST EVER BULL RUN. "PulseChain $PLS currently trades at a remarkable 72% discount, prior to experiencing its first ever bull cycle. This positions it for a theoretical average return of 2048.5x, representing one of the most asymmetric risk reward profiles observed in modern crypto market history." - Rackham Rishel When it comes to the numbers, interpretations vary WIDELY. Everyone, including yourself, and AI cites different figures. So, I think it's reasonable to allow for a little leeway here. Thank you. Song: Foreigner "Juke Box Hero" 🔊

The cryptocurrency market remains inherently volatile, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. While the historical data showcases the immense upside potential, future returns will depend on a combination of technological innovation, regulatory developments, global macroeconomic factors, and user adoption. Investors exploring this space should approach with both optimism and caution, recognizing the risks alongside the proven history of explosive growth in the top layer one blockchains.

"PulseChain $PLS currently trades at a remarkable 72% discount, prior to experiencing its first ever bull cycle. This positions it for a theoretical average return of 2048.5x, representing one of the most asymmetric risk reward profiles observed in modern crypto market history." - Rackham Rishel When it comes to the numbers, interpretations vary WIDELY. Everyone, including yourself, and AI cites different figures. So, I think it's reasonable to allow for a little leeway here. Thank you. Song: Foreigner "Juke Box Hero" 🔊

While a downed Su-57 — shot down by Russia’s own air defence — is still burning, and the Subkhankulovo pipeline station is on fire, it’s worth explaining what those spectacular warehouse videos actually mean. Ukrainian serviceman and military analyst Serhii Misiura breaks down why Wildberries is a legitimate strategic target. Here is the scale. Wildberries turns over 4.1 trillion rubles a year — more than 2% of Russia’s entire GDP. Every 50th ruble in the Russian economy passes through one private platform. To put it in Ukrainian terms: imagine Rozetka, Prom, Nova Poshta, Monobank and all of Ukraine’s outdoor advertising combined into one company. It would still be smaller than Wildberries. — 3,000,000 m² of warehouse space — 45,000+ pickup points (Nova Poshta has 16,000 branches) — 20 million orders per day — over 7 billion items a year — 70 million active buyers per month — Net profit over 100 billion rubles The workforce behind it: — 150,000–200,000 warehouse and logistics staff — 150,000+ working at pickup points — 1,000,000+ registered sellers, employing another 2–3 million people Over 3 million people in Russia depend on this system. Now the part that makes it a military target. Wildberries doubled from 844 billion to 1.67 trillion rubles between 2021 and 2022. Then doubled again to over 4 trillion by 2024–25. Since the full-scale invasion began, the business has grown roughly five times. Western brands leaving. Sanctions. Parallel imports. “War money” — payments for the dead and wounded — flooding poor and remote Russian regions. Mass sales of dual-use goods to the front. Wildberries became the war’s single biggest beneficiary — and its key logistics and supply artery. Misiura’s conclusion: “Destroying their mega-warehouses today isn’t just a fire at a private company’s depot. It is directly burning out the economic and logistical doping that holds up the enemy’s rear.” Russia spends about 12% of GDP on this war. Wildberries is 2% of GDP on its own. That is a substantial slice of legitimate military targets. Source: Serhii Misiura, July 23, 2026 #Ukraine #UAF #DroneWarfare #KineticSanctions #RussiaUkraineWar

🚨 They’re Lying To You About Oil. People don’t grasp the oil market’s sleight of hand. Prices spiked above $110 amid Middle East tensions, then “dropped” to $84 after Trump’s assurance of a swift resolution. Yet this is illusory, a paper mirage. Actual transaction prices remain elevated, with spot deals exceeding $100 due to surreal demand and disrupted Gulf supplies. The Strait of Hormuz blockade has strangled ~25% of global oil flows and LNG, forcing buyers into premiums for alternative routes. Refineries and importers are quietly paying 20-30% over benchmarks to secure cargoes from Russia, the US, or West Africa, bypassing chokepoints. Nations are reeling, implementing draconian measures to conserve: - India: Enforced cuts to oil and cooking gas supplies, slashing industrial natural gas by 10-30%. This has triggered mass restaurant closures, where LPG shortages hobble operations. Fertilizer plants idle, threatening food security. - Pakistan & Bangladesh: Nationwide school shutdowns extended, shifting to online classes to slash transport fuel use. Government offices adopt four-day weeks; fuel allowances halved for officials. Panic buying led to 20% pump price hikes, with rationing imminent. - South Korea: First fuel price caps in 30 years, alongside a $67B market stabilization fund. Seeking non-Hormuz sources to avert shortages. - Europe: Scrambling for Oil and LNG as Middle East supply almost completely shut. Japan faces a uniquely catastrophic bind. With 200 days of oil reserves offering short-term resilience, its Achilles’ heel is LNG, merely 3 weeks’ worth. As the world’s top importer, Japan’s 80% energy import dependency amplifies vulnerability. The yen’s weakness (post-bond market turmoil) exacerbates imported inflation: a 25% currency drop could double energy costs, fueling 15-20% spikes in food and utilities. Industries clamor for strategic reserve releases, but prolonged disruption risks cascading blackouts and factory halts. Coupled with Japan’s 237% debt-to-GDP ratio, this could ignite a fiscal inferno, unwinding trillions in global carry trades. Here’s the grand design unfolding: Engineered oil spikes (via geopolitical chess) stoke hyperinflation, eroding fiat currencies. This catalyzes a reverse carry trade, trillions fleeing yen-denominated assets, cratering bonds and equities worldwide. Enter the pivot: Digital assets like XRP, optimized for cross-border settlements, rise as the bridge in a fractured system. Ripple’s tech, already piloted by central banks, positions XRP as the neutral arbiter in a multipolar reset, bypassing SWIFT’s vulnerabilities, slashing costs amid chaos. This isn’t coincidence; it’s the blueprint for monetary evolution, where scarcity begets innovation.

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Trump reportedly told Zelensky to give up territory to Moscow and proposed a ceasefire along current frontlines - while withholding Tomahawks and offering “security guarantees” to both sides. 2.⁠ Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff landed in Israel to bolster a fragile Gaza ceasefire as new Hamas attacks, Israeli airstrikes, and shootings pushed the truce to the brink. 3.⁠ Trump said he’s “not looking to hurt China” but warned he might slap record 157% tariffs if Beijing doesn’t play ball on fentanyl and trade concessions. 4.⁠ Amazon’s AWS - the backbone of half the internet - crashed, taking down Snapchat, Roblox, Canva, and more, turning smart homes into dumb bricks and costing businesses millions by the hour. 5.⁠ Former Russian spy Andrey Bezrukov says Britain’s planning to assassinate Putin if he meets Trump in Hungary - and wants the whole thing moved to Dubai instead. He claims the UK’s entire mindset is “if Putin doesn't exist, Russia falls apart.” That’s… a lot. 6.⁠ VP Vance shrugged off concerns over cartel casualties, saying he “doesn’t care what happens to narco-terrorists” as long as they stop flooding America with poison. 7.⁠ Ukraine used a 1980s MiG-29 retrofitted with U.S tech to drop a GPS-guided GBU-38 smart bomb on a Russian factory - a Cold War relic turned precision killer shredding Moscow’s supply lines. 8.⁠ The Louvre will stay closed today after thieves pulled off a brazen daytime robbery inside the museum yesterday. The thieves broke into the Louvre’s Apollo Gallery in full cinematic style - using a cherry picker, slipping in through a construction site, and pulling off a 7-minute heist. 9.⁠ The EU dumped Russian gas for good, banning new deals next summer and all imports by 2027 - slicing $750B off Moscow’s pipeline lifeline while the U.S swoops in to cash in with its own LNG. 10.⁠ China’s colossal 42-meter GJ-X stealth drone - a radar-evading, Boeing-sized flying wing built in Xinjiang - took its first flight, signaling a new era of spy-strike power that could swarm Taiwan and spook the Pentagon.

At 10 p.m. on a quiet Tuesday, the neighbors on Maple Street grew concerned. Mrs. Eleanor Price — 84 years old, barely five feet tall, known for tending her roses every morning - was standing alone on her porch in the dark, gently swaying and talking to someone who wasn't there. They called 911. Officer Daniel Reyes arrived expecting a routine welfare check. Maybe confusion. Maybe grief. Maybe something worse. Six years on the force had shown him plenty. But as he climbed the creaky porch steps, he heard soft music drifting through the night air — "Moon River" playing from an old radio, the kind with a turning dial and fading signal. "Everything okay, ma'am?" he asked softly. Mrs. Price startled, pressing a hand to her chest before quickly wiping her eyes. "Oh, officer, I'm sorry," she said, embarrassed. "Today would have been our 60th wedding anniversary. My husband passed last month. We always danced right here on this porch every year. I was just... pretending he was still here." Daniel could have gently told her to head inside. Cleared the call. Moved on. His shift didn't end until midnight. Instead, he removed his hat and set it on the porch railing. Then he held out his hand. ''I'm not as good a dancer as he was," Daniel said quietly, "but may I have this one?" For three minutes, under the soft yellow porch light, a young police officer slow-danced with a grieving widow while curtains shifted and neighbors watched through tearful smiles. Mrs. Price rested her head against his uniform, and for the first time in weeks, she smiled - really smiled. Later, when someone thanked him, Officer Reyes just shrugged. "She needed someone to dance with. That's all." Sometimes protecting and serving means protecting a heart that's still learning how to beat alone. These days, when neighbors see Mrs. Price swaying on her porch, they don't call 911. They just wave. And once a week, Officer Daniel stops by during his patrol. "Just checking in," he says. But the radio always ends up playing... and they always end up dancing 💕💕🙏
