Ripple is going crazy with the marketing this year building up to Swell. Something big is going to happen. I can feel it in my drops. #xrp $xrp
We said cleared for takeoff. We meant it. Swell 2026 goes live from New York in moments.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP! March 2nd, 2025. Donald Trump announces $XRP as part of his proposed US Crypto Strategic Reserve. EXACTLY 589 DAYS LATER... October 12th, 2026. COLUMBUS DAY. The date Evernorth ($XRPN) is expected to debut on Nasdaq following its merger. The merger partner? ARMADA Acquisition Corp. II. Christopher Columbus sailed under the Spanish Crown, whose empire later launched the famous Spanish Armada. NOW LOOK AT BEARABLEGUY123'S LEGENDARY SHIP RIDDLE. Published over FIVE YEARS before the Evernorth–Armada deal was announced. A Spanish-style sailing ship heading towards the horizon. And the name written on the ship? PERSEVERANCIA. Literally the Spanish word for PERSEVERANCE! One of the recurring themes throughout BG123's riddles. 589 DAYS. COLUMBUS DAY. ARMADA. XRP. NASDAQ. COINCIDENCE?! @NFAdotcrypto, I reckon you might uncover even more connections here! I'M SO BULLISH.
BREAKING: πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ President Trump announces a "Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA."

Had a great conversation last month with UK Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence Kanishka Narayan MP, Alliance Founder and Chair Dr. Lisa Cameron, House of Lords Member Lord Ranger of Northwood, former Cabinet Minister Sir Gavin Williamson CBE, and leaders from EasyA, OpenPayd, and Vault12. It is critical that the United States remain the global leader in digital assets and financial innovation, and working with allies is essential to maintaining that leadership. instagram.com/p/DeICScGOMZ0/…

I will fucking curse the Democratic party to my very grave. If you are in crypto and support the Democrats in any way, you're not in crypto. And watch how they run the same anti-crypto playbook on AI now.

Great to be back at the White House today alongside @realDonaldTrump, @SECPaulSAtkins, @ChairmanSelig and leaders across the crypto industry. The big picture has never been clearer: 67 million Americans hold crypto today (that’s nearly 1 in 4!). Crypto isn't a fringe industry. And Washington DC knows the crypto voter is alive and well. This President's incredible commitment to innovation and leadership around digital assets in the US has been profound. The future is bright.
