So, who’s this Selig guy? Oh, just the chief counsel for the SEC’s Crypto Task Force and Senior Advisor to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. Before that, he was a big-shot partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagar LLP, where he basically wrote the rulebook on digital assets. 🧐 Fun fact: He’s so good at coordinating agencies, he could probably get the DMV and the Post Office to work together. Maybe. 🤷♂️
But (and isn’t there always a ‘but’?), there’s this nagging little thought. Like, what actually happens with XRP in all this? Is it just…hanging around? 😬 It feels a bit like inviting your slightly awkward cousin to a really fancy party.
The most honorable Chris Pavlovski, chief architect of Rumble, doth assure us this novel contrivance is, at this very moment, undergoing rigorous examination – lest some rogue algorithm devour the offerings! And Paolo Ardoino of Tether, a man of obvious discernment, informs us that the grand unveiling shall occur betwixt the waning of early December and the burgeoning of mid-December. A timeframe, one notes, precise as a watchmaker’s sneeze.🤧
According to Luxor’s Fourth Quarter 2025 Hashrate Map, this rebirth is no mere fluke. Once banished by the iron fist of 2021 regulations, China now lingers like a sly fox in the chicken coop, its influence seeping through the veins of global miners who still rely on its factories. Bitmain, MicroBT, and Canaan-those titans of silicon-still churn out the machines that power the world’s obsession with Bitcoin. The country’s grip on the supply chain? Unshakable. A masterclass in capitalist puppetry. 🛠️🇨🇳
They claimed to have unveiled a mystical doorway to the elusive kingdom of cryptocurrencies, promising an indulgence of not just one but three fantastical contraptions: the ethereal Bitcoin, the sly Ether, and the slippery XRP, gallivanting together in a charmed basket-multiples assets in one shimmering ETF. A crusade to swaddle the bewildering digital netherworld into the cozy embrace of institutional grace!
But hey, at least he’s consistent! XRP’s now the star of Ripple Prime, the freshly rebranded prime brokerage that used to be called Hidden Road. Because why not give it a name that sounds like a secret society? 🕵️♂️ XRP will “complement services” there-translation: it’s the crypto equivalent of a golden retriever in a suit, nodding along to every decision. 🐶💼
Crypto guru and DogeOS cheerleader Jimmy (yes, that Jimmy) dropped a mic with his technical analysis, proving Doge’s inflation model is as predictable as a Mel Brooks punchline. 😂 He even quoted the great Elon Musk, who once quipped, “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!” 🦜 Jimmy’s numbers? As of 2025, Doge’s got 151.36 billion coins in the wild, with 5 billion more joining the party each year. 🎉 That’s 3.49% inflation, baby-and it’s only going down from here. 📉
Now, this XRPR fellow is quite the trailblazer, being the first XRP ETF to set up shop in the good ol’ US of A. 🏆 However-and here’s the kicker-it doesn’t actually give you a direct ticket to the XRP token. No, no, REX Shares took the rather unorthodox ’40 Act path, which is all very clever but leaves one feeling a bit like a chap who’s ordered a martini but been handed a shandy. 🍸🤔
It commenced on X, where a self-proclaimed ex-Uniswap developer declared he’d unearthed a bug granting 41% profit per swap-like finding a golden goose in a Bitcoin mine. 🦆
