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 popped the champagne to celebrate, but the SEC immediately pulled out the appeal: "Season 2 renewed!" The Ripple legal team calmly stated, "An appeal? That's just advertising for the industry!"
In 2024, Trump returned to the White House with the slogan "Make Crypto Great Again," appointing a new SEC chairman - a former Dogecoin miner. Overnight, the probability of XRP ETF approval on Polymarket soared to over 70%, and internet users joked, "Trump's tweets are more effective 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 Bank researcher Geoffrey Kendrick adjusted his glasses: "XRP ETF? See you in 2025!" The price of XRP performed a "roller coaster" - rising to $3.3 and then crashing down, lawyer Bill Hogan complained, "This price drop is less natural than my hairline!"
