We must focus on giving innovators, especially in digital asset markets, the ability to innovate at home under U.S. laws for the benefit of the U.S. economy and U.S. investors. Through our harmonization efforts with the @CFTC, we're delivering long overdue clarity in this space.

POV: You stayed in Crypto until the Clarity Act passes. It's the Catalyst needed for liquidity to rotate and will be the next major asset class breaking new ATH's.

Trump has all the cards in a game where the objective is to be the first to get rid of all your cards.

THE FINAL PLAY!

100% All roads lead back to Ripple’s North Star, $XRP.

You are part of a group of people who are mostly rational who are forced to take a private vote by pressing a red button or pressing a blue button. If more than 50% push the blue button, everyone lives. Otherwise, only people who pushed the red button live. Which button would you press? Be honest.

Why do the righteous suffer while the wicked prosper? Why is it that those striving for righteousness are often beset by trials, sorrows, and infirmity, while the transgressor appears to dwell in uninterrupted peace? Consider the hunter: he wastes no arrow on the carcass, nor does he strike the prey already bound within his cage. In this same manner, the Devil—the Great Hunter of Souls—sets his sights only upon those who are spiritually vibrant. He does not waste his strength on those who already wear his chains; he reserves his fury for the one attempting to escape. To the spiritually dead, he grants a false peace—the quiet of the graveyard. A Call to Vigilance: Let not the heart be deceived by a season of ease, for the silence of the Enemy is often the greatest proof of his ownership. The peace of the sinner is not a blessing; it is a numbing anesthetic administered before the final blow. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)

If you missed yesterday's $XRP announcement, this is what I was referring to. Most people still don't get the significance, so allow me to elaborate: During SEC v. Ripple Labs it surfaced that there were 1,700 NDA's between Ripple and other companies. A lot of people speculated that those NDA's pertained to banks. Yesterday's announcement is not Speculation. Ripple publicly confirmed not just 1,700, but 13,000 banks connected through their system where $12.5T flows. Putting that into perspective, there are 4,336 registered 'Banks and Savings Institutions' in the United States. There are also 4,287 'Credit Unions'. Many of these institutions are international throughout Western civilization. That means that Ripple is now promulgated into almost every western (anglo-society) banking institution. That is where the $12.5T number comes from. But you don't care about that right? You want to know what it will do for the price of XRP. Let's go apply the Bakkes Pipeline (Stock to flow) model: If 20,000,000,000 $XRP move $12.5 Trillion annually the average price per $XRP is $625. That $589 number and the chart I've shared many times do not look so far out of reach now, do they? There is hopium, and then there is this 👇

When I returned to the @SECGov in 2025, my mandate was clear: restore clarity, integrity, and trust to an agency that had lost sight of its core mission. One year later, we are delivering on that mission, and the most important work still lies ahead. My latest in @dcexaminer ⬇️
