Show Summary
The crypto market may be under pressure, but the XRP ecosystem continues to expand beneath the surface. Jeff and Chip examine the growing disconnect between XRP's market price and the infrastructure being built around the XRP Ledger. The discussion covers David Schwartz's vision for tokenized securities, money market funds, loans, and real-world assets, along with XRP's accelerating tokenization growth, South Korea's continued XRP adoption, major XRPL infrastructure upgrades, and Coinbase's expanding developer tools. The central question throughout the episode: If all of this is happening, why is XRP still trading around a dollar—and is the market completely missing what's coming next?

People still think (or feel) because Bitcoin is down crypto is down.

Derivatives/perps, stablecoins, prediction markets, etc are all up in crypto.
Crypto touches every area of finance, and is much broader than Bitcoin now. It will take some time for this to sink in.

If the fraud rate is really as low as Democrats claim, why are they fighting so hard to hide the data? Why not just work with USDA to audit and validate where the money is going? Their resistance to us going after fraud is part of why these programs ballooned in the first place. https://t.co/ZaO6i9mKia
