🚨 XRP retail investors are leaving. Xrp whales are buying more XRP than ever. The number of people using XRP wallets every day has gone down to 25,350. At first this looks like news for XRP. When we look at what is happening on the XRP blockchain we see something very different.
💥 Some XRP investors are even selling their XRP, Leaving.
On the hand XRP whales are buying a lot of XRP. The people who own than 1 million XRP now control 74.1 percent of all the XRP that is available. The biggest XRP whales have XRP than they have had since 2018.
🌕 So why are XRP whales buying XRP when other people are losing interest in XRP?
Many people think that some big things that are going to happen like more people using XRP exchange traded funds and the government making it clear what the rules are for XRP could change what people think about XRP for a long time.
🦄 This is creating an interesting situation in the XRP market, regular people are waiting to see what happens to XRP but smart XRP investors are buying more XRP.
👀 Could this be a time when XRP whales are getting ready for the big move in the XRP market or are XRP whales taking a bigger risk with XRP than everyone else?
BREAKING: 🇺🇸 The Fed is now officially blocked from issuing a CBDC until 2030.
A provision buried inside the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act prevents the Federal Reserve from creating a CBDC or similar digital currency without congressional approval.
Stablecoins like $USDC and $USDT remain unaffected.
If it doesn’t pass the Senate before the August 7 recess, the chances of it becoming law drop to almost zero.
The Senate returns July 13. That leaves roughly 20 working days to get this done.
Here’s where things stand.
• No floor vote has been scheduled. No cloture motion has been filed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune hasn’t allocated floor time yet.
• The full compromise text is expected to be released soon. Senator Lummis promised it would come out during the July recess, but it still hasn’t appeared.
The main thing blocking it is an ethics dispute.
Democrats want language preventing the President, members of Congress, and federal officials from personally profiting from crypto while in office.
This became a bigger issue after Trump’s financial disclosure showed roughly $1.4 billion in crypto income for 2025 from memecoin royalties, World Liberty Financial token sales, and other streams.
The White House says it accepts rules that apply to everyone but rejects anything targeting one specific officeholder.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis said in April he’d vote against the bill without ethics language.
There are two other fights holding it up.
• Section 604 protects software developers from being treated as money transmitters.
Law enforcement groups say it would hurt criminal investigations.
• Whether crypto exchanges can pay yield on stablecoin balances.
Coinbase alone earns about $1.35 billion a year from USDC rewards, so this one has real money attached to it.
Now let’s see the votes.
Republicans hold 53 seats. Two of them, Hawley and Paul, are expected to vote no.
They need 60 votes to break a filibuster, so they need at least 7 Democrats. Right now, only 2 have publicly backed it.
If this passes, digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum get permanently classified as commodities under CFTC oversight, and the SEC loses the ability to reclassify them.

Most people lose money in crypto for one simple reason: They follow hype instead of strategy.
The smartest investors ask these 5 questions before buying any coin:
✅ Does the project solve a real-world problem? ✅ Is the team active and continuously building? ✅ Does the token have strong utility and demand? ✅ Is the community growing organically? ✅ Can I hold this investment even if it drops 30–50%?
BREAKING: Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth jumped $12.8 billion to $229.4 billion on Friday after its shares surged nearly 6%, adding over $90 billion in market cap on new AI initiatives.
according to an internal memo reviewed by Reuters, Meta Platforms will start manufacturing an AI chip, code-named “Iris”, in September as part of its plan to boost overall computing capacity to 14 gigawatts next year.
If Meta grabs a slice of the cloud computing market, it could provide a hot new revenue stream outside of its advertising business.
On Thursday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Bloomberg in an interview that the company is exploring renting its own AI computing power to third parties.
Meta announced on Wednesday that it will build a new data center in Canada with $9.18 billion, its 33rd such facility.
In addition to the potential data center business, Meta on Thursday announced its Muse Spark 1.1 AI model.
Meta says it will charge developers $1.25 per million input tokens and $4.25 per million output tokens. Anthropic currently charges $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens for its Opus 4.8 model, which Meta compares with Spark 1.1.
In a post-tokenmaxxing world, Meta's less-expensive Spark 1.1 could attract price-conscious developers who don't need Anthropic or OpenAI's most powerful models.
I just closed my $SYN short trade with $12,000+ profit. 🥳🎉
A few days ago, I said that if $SYN lost the $0.38 level, the move toward $0.32 would happen much faster than most people expected.
That’s exactly what happened.
In fact, it didn’t even stop there. $SYN is now trading below $0.30, and I still don’t think the downside is over yet.
I could’ve waited for a bigger profit, but I’m happy with what I made. One thing crypto has taught me is that taking profit is never a mistake. There will always be another trade, but once you let greed take over, one winning trade can easily turn into a losing one
$ETH is back near $1,800… but this is still the most important level on the chart.
This isn’t the first time Ethereum has reached this area. Every previous attempt around $1,800-$1,820 has ended with a rejection, which is why I’m not rushing into a long yet.
If $ETH gets a strong close above $1,820 with volume, I’ll turn bullish and start looking for longs. That will opens the door toward $1,850-$1,900.
But if it gets rejected here again, I think another move back toward $1,750-$1,770 is much more likely.
Right now, futures activity is increasing much faster than spot buying. That tells me leverage is leading this move, not real demand. Until spot buyers step in, I’m staying cautious.
Don’t trade the prediction. Trade the confirmation. That’s how you avoid getting trapped on both sides.
