#XRPETF An alien arrives on Earth, sees a nervous crypto investor on the street, who is constantly refreshing their phone screen.

The alien telepathically asks:

Earthling, what is causing your strong emotional fluctuation?

The investor, not taking their eyes off the screen:

* Well, I'm waiting for the XRP ETF! They say that as soon as it launches, the price of XRP will finally soar to the stars!

The alien, intrigued:

* "XRP ETF"? Is that some kind of your earthly flying machine? Is it taking so long to prepare for launch?

The investor sighs:

* No... it’s a financial instrument... well, to make money on XRP... if they finally allow it...

The alien scratches its green head:

* Strange. On Kryptonia, we simply buy intergalactic bonds. There, it’s clear when the "launch" is and what the "flight" is. But here you have some complicated "instruments" that can’t seem to "take off". Maybe you should try interplanetary mining? They say the profits are more stable there. Although... with your earthly "tariffs" on interstellar fuel... I don't know if it will turn out to be profitable. The main thing is that your "XRP ETF" doesn’t turn out to be a black hole for your savings. Because then you'll have to come to us on Kryptonia for financial assistance. And we have our own "courses" and "commissions".
