Episode Details

XRP spot ETFs now hold 1.13 billion XRP and $1.46 billion in assets, after another 6.3 million XRP of inflows this week and 645.3 million XRP walking off exchanges. Every part of the bullish mechanism fired at once, and XRP sat at $1.43.

Jeff walks the Week 38 supply report line by line, and Chip puts beside it the number nobody else quotes: the ETFs and index funds hold 1.129% of total supply, while exchange wallets hold roughly 21%. The ETF bid is real. It is not yet large enough to see.

Also in this episode: the Fed's unanimous 12-0 hike to 3.75%-4.00% and why XRP didn't blink; where all 100 billion XRP actually lives; Ripple Treasury and the trapped-cash problem; XRP and RLUSD landing in Stripe and Tempo's AI payments kit; Stuart Alderoty on why politics beat policy on CLARITY; wallet security and the dead-phone cold storage protocol; and the Greenland agreement that Trump calls permanent American control while Denmark's own statement calls sovereignty preserved.
