We’ve ALL seen the truth. We ALL completely understand bitcoin. It’s what got it all started. Hooray!! But shortly after that start some of those early bitcoin developers went right to work on XNS “ripples” for NewCoin Inc. That my friend is the beginning of the biggest story in cryptocurrency ever told.

The last time US Treasury yields were this high, total US national debt stood at just $8.9 trillion. Today, US debt stands at $40.1 trillion. That's +$31.2 trillion more, or over 4.5 TIMES higher. This means every 1 percentage point in the average cost of servicing the debt now translates to ~$401 billion per year in interest expense. In 2007, the same 1 percentage point translated to just ~$89 billion. That’s an additional ~$312 BILLION in annual interest expense for every percentage point increase in borrowing cost. This is a vastly different situation than it was 19 years ago. The bond market matters more now than ever.
It's official. As the bond market "meltdown" accelerates, the average interest rate on a 30Y mortgage in the US is up to 7.45%. That's up +150 basis points in 6 months and the highest since 2023, when inflation was at 6.4%+. What is happening? Let us explain. (a thread)

I’m genuinely curious what happens to XRP Twitter if we all get rich at the same time. There’s no chance that ends well 😂

Ah Oh…. This kinda thing seems to illustrate the USDT problem and its inability to comply with US Guidelines mandated in the GENIUS act
🚨BREAKING: US seizes bank accounts tied to a Tether-linked payments firm, FT reports. The firm, Capstone, is accused by the DOJ of illegally moving hundreds of millions of dollars for Tether and Bitfinex through EQIBank, a small Caribbean bank. Capstone allegedly opened US bank accounts while presenting itself as a tech company, then used those accounts to send payments to hundreds of individuals and entities. About $84 MILLION has now been frozen from Capstone accounts at Wells Fargo and JPMorgan. FT reports Capstone was also linked to a separate case where stolen cash from elderly victims was allegedly converted into USDT. Tether and Bitfinex said they were EQIBank customers, but had no knowledge of Capstone’s alleged misconduct. This highlights Tether’s banking access problem, relying on smaller offshore banks and payment middlemen to reach the dollar system.

This is about as big a deal as it gets
🇺🇸JUST IN: DTCC to officially launch its tokenization service for $114 TRILLION in assets. CEO Frank La Salla confirmed the timeline after more than 30 firms made live trades with tokenized assets in July. The service will cover Russell 1000 stocks, major index ETFs and US Treasuries, which can move between approved wallets 24/7. Over 100 firms, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, have joined DTCC's tokenization working group.

This is going to be bananas
Unbelievable. 3 hours later and the 10Y Note Yield is now above 5.20% for the first time in 19 years. The 10Y Note Yield is now up +50 basis points in 30 days and +30 basis points in 2 days. Even more remarkable is that the average American has no idea this is happening. Yet. The bond market is imploding in front of our eyes.

This is a very good sign of where we are and where we’re headed. Bullish
crypto green while 10-year yields hit highs shows you just how strong the market is right now. (normally the two are inversely correlated).

No truer words were ever spoken. Very clear perspective about it all coming down to connecting
Reece Merrickが、議論の途中でいちばん大事な役割分担をはっきりさせた。 MESAフォーラムのステージで、@HSBC、@BlackRock、@Mashreq、@RAKBANKと並び、ステーブルコイン、トークン化預金、トークン化MMFを話している。 もう何を作るかではなく、 どうつなぐかだよ。 ステーブルコイン。 トークン化預金。 トークン化MMF。 この3つは明確に役割が違う。 問題はどう接続し、流動性をどう動かすかになってます。 だから、HSBC、BlackRock、Mashreq、RAKBANKといった金融機関の隣に、Rippleが座っている意味がある。 これからのオンチェーン金融は、孤立した新しいシステムを量産することではなく、すでに立ち上がりつつある金融の回道筋をどうつなぐか。 リップルのビジョンは明確です。

Beautiful in its simplicity. Well said and excellent message 🍻 “Helping your people is how you add weight to the better side.”
This isn’t only crypto winning. It’s consciousness catching up. Fear losing volume. Better systems finding room. XRP flipping BTC is loud. Helping your people is how you add weight to the better side.

Tokenized commodities are seeing serious growth across chains. Ethereum: +$5.0B XRPL: +$2.2B Avalanche: +$334.2M BNB Chain: +$88.2M Arbitrum: +$87.5M Ethereum + XRPL account for roughly 93% of the growth across the top 5.
Yesterday, Bitwise’s XRP ETF saw $19.16M in net inflows, bringing cumulative net inflows to $637.46M. Let’s see what today’s appetite looks like. 👀

✳️✳️ And I quote “structural debasement of the underlying dollar” That’s the crux and the catalyst that’s in play. ✳️✳️
The challenge the US Treasury currently faces is a collapse of investors willing to accept current yields in the face of both structural debasement of the underlying dollar and the expected supply that the Treasury itself will continue to dump on the market. The problem is, the higher yields go, the more bonds the Treasury will need to sell. If they step in to buy the bonds themselves, this creates further debasement, only exacerbating the self-reinforcing loop. Welcome to MMT hell.

It’s all about that pesky border
The Fed is taking FedNow cross-border. 🇺🇸 The US leg: instant, 24/7. The international leg: still correspondent banks, outside FedNow. Instant at home. Slow at the border. The $XRP Ledger settles the border in 3–5 seconds.
