And so, the tech scene of Dubai, already glittering with the splendor of over 3,200 tech companies and more than 650 blockchain/Web3 enterprises, is graced by the addition of this new digital titan. What a delightful cocktail of innovation and wealth! 🍸
The $2.20 price point has long been a stone in XRP’s shoe, with every time it attempts to scale this height, market bears seem to unite in a collective bout of hysteria, sending it plummeting right back down. But this time, things are different—sort of. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved away from the depths of despair and is now sitting comfortably at 47. Could it be that the days of relentless overselling are behind us? Only time will tell.
Back has signed up for an initial 150 million-krona tranche, cheekily dubbed Tranche 6, of a convertible loan. He also retains the right to partake in two subsequent tranches, each currently set at 75 million kronor, though the company is keen to inflate that amount if the market plays nice.
But wait! This isn’t just random chaos—it’s more like a well-thought-out “reboot” that the crypto world occasionally needs, like refreshing your browser when it freezes (though much more lucrative).
This aberrant foray into the rarefied realm of altcoins, solemnly detailed in an official statement, serves only to underscore the creeping sense of desperation that seems to be gripping corporate treasuries the world over.

They’re increasingly turning to app-specific “appchain” layer 1s—not as a quirky trend, but as a necessity. Who knew? 🤷♂️
Krueger’s argument is that them old market cycles were driven by the halving of block rewards, but nowadays it’s the institutional demand that’s calling the shots. And we’re not just talking about your run-of-the-mill institutional demand, neither. No sirree, we’re talking about the big boys: Bitcoin ETFs and treasury-focused buyers. As Krueger puts it, “The reduction from 450 BTC/day to 225 BTC/day is minor when ETFs and treasury companies are collectively buying 5,000 BTC per day.” That’s like saying a gnat is a minor nuisance when you’ve got a swarm of locusts on your hands!
