Apparently everyone is fleeing Seattle now. Welcome to Miami!

🤦‍♂️

Evernorth expects to list on Nasdaq as XRPN. If and when that bell rings, we don't plan to walk out alone. This community took the hits nobody else would. The least we can do is show up with them. We're collaborating with BearChamp, the fighter and XRP community member the Chicago artist @JCRivera invented after being told he couldn't become one. One directive: roll with the punches. This community has been running that play for a decade. Expect apparel, storytelling and a front-row seat to the Evernorth x BearChamp collaboration.

Very sad

The US 10Y Note Yield is now moving in a literal straight-line higher, up to 5.13%. This is no longer an issue that we have months or years to address. This is unsustainable.

This is a good one

It’s also self evident

NEW: The average Bitcoin ETF Holder is back above water for the first time since January. The rally this morning has bitcoin:native above our estimated ETF cost basis of $81,722 per coin. h/t @EricBalchunas

JUST IN: X is now allowing users to trade crypto on their timeline.

What a fucking legend. 🇺🇸

Pilates terrifies me.

“$260 million worth of levered shorts are liquidated in 60 minutes” may be my favorite sentence

Diamonds have plunged to their lowest prices this century after crashing 70% from their 2011 all-time high 🚨 🚨

1/ This one stings. Our team gave everything we had to get the Clarity Act across the finish line. So did most of the industry. This was an opportunity bigger than Ripple or one company - we did this for the industry, for consumers and to cement the US’s position as the crypto capital of the world and as a leader in the future of finance. Ultimately, consumers and U.S. competitiveness got left behind. 2/ A post mortem needs to be done on why this failed (more from me on that in the days ahead). The politics of the democrats (the anti-crypto army) was elevated over good policy. 3/ There is still reason for optimism for crypto in the United States. Now, the SEC, under Chair Atkins, and the CFTC, under Chair Selig, will continue to work hard to issue rules to fill the legislative gap and we will continue to be actively engaged in that rule making process. 4/ Ripple's business has never been stronger — real demand across traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. A missed vote in Washington doesn't change our momentum, our global footprint, or our customers.

Obesity is finally declining. It's been falling since 2021, and the trend doesn't look like it's stopping.

This was a lot of fun

🤣

Strong liability enforcement could be helpful in the AI debate. If your agent swarm goes rogue, you’re liable. If your weakly protected model gets jailbroken, you’re liable. If you serve a weakly protected OSS model, you’re liable.

What about China?
