🚨SCOOP: Two well-placed sources tell me that the @SECGov vs. @Ripple case is in the process of wrapping up and could be over soon.
My understanding is that the delay in reaching an agreement is due to Ripple's legal team negotiating more favorable terms regarding the August district court ruling, which imposed a $125M fine on the company and included a permanent injunction preventing the company from selling $XRP to institutional investors.
The argument, I’m told, is that if the new SEC leadership is wiping the enforcement slate clean for all previously-targeted crypto firms because it believes regulatory clarity will resolve the underlying issue, why should Ripple still be penalized? Accepting the Torres ruling as it stands would mean that Ripple is essentially agreeing to admit to wrongdoing — but now the SEC itself is seemingly unsure whether any wrongdoing occurred.
There’s no real playbook for this kind of thing which could explain why this case is taking longer to resolve than the rest. Stay tuned.

You can have your own opinion, but not your own facts: 🔽
▶️ XRP is decentralized
▶️ XRP is deflationary
▶️ XRP has a DEX (the very first since 2012)
▶️ XRP has tokens, stablecoins, RWAs (also the first blockchain to introduce tokenization)
▶️ XRP has NFTs
▶️ XRP is more secure than other networks, because all features are native to the L1 and there are no smart contract risks, wallet drains, or blind signing.

UNPOPULAR VIEW ON A SCR
Today’s been a great day in Crypto. Considering I have over 80% of my net worth invested, I’m not complaining at all. But I am very concerned it could mean bad news for the industry in the longterm.
Not too long ago, I predicted @realDonaldTrump would not limit a Crypto Reserve to Bitcoin only. I said if he does a Reserve he will no doubt include other tokens, including XRP. Some took issue with what I said.
I wasn’t arguing that he should include XRP or any other token, for that matter. I simply said it was OBVIOUS to me, and anyone who’s paying attention, not blinded by bias or wishful thinking, that President Trump would include other tokens, especially if those other tokens could claim “Made in America” 🇺🇸 status.
Simply put, President Trump was never going to be a BTC Maxi. Period. His family, especially his 3 sons, Barron Trump, @DonaldJTrumpJr and @EricTrump are huge advocates for the crypto industry. The Trump family is co-owner in World Liberty Financial - a decentralized finance protocol founded in 2024. President Trump's company title is "Chief Crypto Advocate", Barron Trump is listed as the project's "DeFi visionary", and Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. each have the title, "Web3ambassador."
Trump Coin was launched on SOL. President Trump owns millions of dollars in ETH. Eric Trump posted it was a great day to buy ETH not too long ago.
The Crypto Czar @DavidSacks has been a huge investor in the overall crypto ecosystem, including being a LP in @multicoin, which has a big stake in SOL and other tokens, in addition to BTC.
It’s called “MULTICOIN” for Christ sake. So no, I’m not clairvoyant!
My fear is that the thought of altcoins, especially XRP, being stockpiled on the Government’s balance sheet will cause strife, anger and confusion and non-stop infighting within the industry.
We have a very limited time to make sure we get real reform and legislative measures passed BEFORE the midterm elections. I wrote an op-ed on what I believe the Crypto Council and Administration should be focused on. We need: 1) stable coin legislation that drives demand for U.S. Treasuries, strengthening the USD’s dominance in the world; 2) a market structure bill, providing clarity over what constitutes a security and making clear the CFTC oversees crypto commodities; 3) centralized exchange oversight, including the protection of customer accounts in case of bankruptcy, segregation of customer funds with absolutely no commingling with corporate funds, 100% reserves, and limits on over-leveraged positions and liquidation measures; 4) tax policy reform that allows a person to pay their taxes or make certain purchases without incurring capital gains tax liabilities: and 5) reforming or abolishing the Accredited Investor Rule.
I think we are a long way from achieving enough consensus to pass legislation regarding a SBR or a SCR. But I know we can get bipartisan support for the things I’ve listed here. I have confidence in @DavidSacks and @BoHines and believe they’re paying close attention to all these issues. Let’s focus on what we agree on and not blow this amazing opportunity presented to us by the new administration.
Here’s my full op-Ed. 👇
"The newly established Crypto Council must not make the mistake of becoming an exclusive club of industry elites," says @JohnEDeaton1, who was Republican candidate for Senate in Massachusetts in 2024.

It’s Friday. Let’s break the internet. Greg Kidd one of first ten at Ripple. Dispatched Jack Dorsey to create Twitter(2006) and “Eric” to work on Ripple Protocol. Was the plan all along to incorporate the XRP Ledger into the everything app X?(Jack owns 3%)

We know how they got lost. At the time, there were only three validators and they were all running on the same virtual machine setup. They all ran out of disk space at about the same time. At the time, the code had no safeties to handle this case. Some lost ledgers were recovered, but recovery was hampered by another bug in the code causing it to fail to store ledger headers correctly.
We could have started over from zero with all accounts in the same state they were in at ledger 32570, but this would not have made any real difference. The information in the lost ledgers would still be lost.
Nothing seemed particularly important at the time. Many people had started, and discarded, many ledger streams. There were frequent changes to the data representation scheme that made compatibility impossible.
At the time, recovery didn't seem particularly important. XRP was literally worthless at the time. And we expected there would still be later ledger resets as there had been past ledger resets. It just so happened that there was never a need for another ledger reset.
When we realized this ledger stream was going to be the one that would continue for the foreseeable future, we made all the data we had public and the genesis ledger was pushed back a few, but due to the apparent absence of any prior ledger header, nobody has been able to reconstruct any prior ledger.
One downside of a decentralized system is there is nobody who is obligated to preserve or maintain the system for you. If you care about the data on it, you need to either preserve it yourself or pay someone else to do so for you. If you don't run a bitcoin node or pay someone else to run one for you, you have no right to complain if everyone else decides they don't want to run the network anymore. Everyone acts for their own interests.

Unpopular opinion but these pardons are the "type" of pardons the Constitution had in mind (ie. political).
Of course, there was also supposed to be a certain amount of shame the pardonees were supposed to feel (because needing a pardon is an indicia of guilt) but it seems the shame-factor isn't what it used to be.
