Once upon a time, there was a coin called XRP, and it had an "XRP Army" whose slogan was: "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 champagne to celebrate, only for the SEC to immediately pull out an appeal: "Season 2 renewed!". Ripple's legal department calmly stated, "An appeal? This is just free advertising for the industry!".
In 2024, Trump returned to the White House with the slogan "Make Crypto Great Again," appointing a new SEC chair—a former Dogecoin miner. Overnight, the probability of XRP ETF approval on Polymarket soared to over 70%, with netizens joking, "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 understand, understand.". The XRP community erupted: "BlackRock is here, our rocket fuel has arrived!".
