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 champagne to celebrate, only for the SEC to immediately pull out an appeal: "Season two renewed!" The Ripple legal team calmly stated, "An appeal? This is just 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 skyrocketed to over 70%, and netizens 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 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!"
