Once upon a time, there was a coin called XRP, and it had an "XRP Army" with the slogan: "To the moon, but with legal briefs!"

The lawsuit between XRP and the SEC is longer than "Game of Thrones." In 2023, the judge said, "XRP is not a security," and the XRP Army celebrated with champagne, only for the SEC to immediately pull out an appeal: "Season 2 renewed!" Ripple's legal department calmly said, "An appeal? This is just advertising for the industry!"

In 2024, Trump returned to the White House with the slogan "Make Crypto Great Again" and appointed a new SEC chair—who was a former Dogecoin miner. Overnight, the probability of an XRP ETF approval on Polymarket soared to over 70%, and netizens joked: "Trump's tweets work better than technical analysis!"

BlackRock secretly applied for an XRP ETF, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse smiled mysteriously: "I won't comment, but those who know, know." The XRP community erupted: "BlackRock is here, our rocket fuel has arrived!"

Standard Chartered researcher Geoffrey Kendrick adjusted his glasses: "XRP ETF? See you in 2025!" The XRP price performed a "roller coaster"—rising to $3.3 and then crashing down, with lawyer Bill Hogan complaining: "This price drop is less natural than my hairline!"
