โก๏ธ Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy says he dumped his XRP at $2.40โonly to watch it explode to $3.60, a price jump of nearly 20% in 24 hours. โI wouldโve made millions,โ Portnoy confessed in a video on X. โAnd I want to cry.โ
๐ Portnoy sold after being told Ripple might face competition from Circle. โI didnโt have a big plan,โ he admitted. โJust FOMO. What if it became the next Bitcoin?โ
โก๏ธ Why XRP pumped:
โ Ripple filed for a national bank charter, just days after Circle did, boosting trader confidence.
โ The move wiped out $68 million in XRP shorts as price spiked.
โ Broader crypto rally since Bitcoin broke past $112K earlier this month.
๐ณ๏ธ Regulatory boost: The U.S. House passed three major crypto bills:
โข CLARITY Act: clearer market rules
โข GENIUS Act: stablecoin framework
โข Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act: limits federal control over digital dollars
๐ Bottom line: XRPโs jump wasnโt randomโit was fueled by fresh bank plans, short squeezes, and major pro-crypto policy wins. But Portnoyโs story is a reminder: even โleaders of the XRP armyโ can sell too soon!
