@WhaleFUD Ripple just acquired a $1 billion company, while Bitcoin’s out here trying to sell burgers to stay relevant 🍔

JUST IN: Steak ’n Shake is launching a “Bitcoin Steakburger”

Today, Ripple is breaking into the $120T corporate treasury payments market with the $1B acquisition of GTreasury. The past few years have reminded this industry why payments, first and foremost, is THE primary use case for crypto and blockchain. Payments are where Ripple first started for exactly these reasons – the infrastructure is complex, siloed and inefficient, but as we know, perfectly positioned to benefit from decentralized financial technologies. Astounding amounts of cash are trapped in outdated payments systems, creating friction, unnecessary costs, and barriers to entering new markets. GTreasury has been serving some of the most well known brands for decades – and now together with Ripple, we’ll be able to help CFOs manage all their assets, include stablecoins, tokenized deposits, etc at scale around the world, as well as put their idle capital to work with repo markets via Hidden Road. The opportunity is here, and we’re diving right in. It’s happening! ripple.com/ripple-press/r…

@gordongekko @TateTheTalisman Whenever you are ready Gordon I’ll be happy to assist you. I’ve learned a lot about crypto from you. It’s time I pay you back.

@MehdiMenjli @TateTheTalisman Ok cool 🫡

Is $11M enough retire? (In a first world country)

@papajasepi @gordongekko @TateTheTalisman If you relocate to Dubai rental income from Dubai properties is taxed at 0% here but Australian sourced rents remain taxable in Australia (even as a non-resident) If you’re curious about Dubai assets with strong yields.

@gordongekko @TateTheTalisman Absolutely it’s Dubai new downtown and most promising future.

@MehdiMenjli @TateTheTalisman I’ve been looking in to buying in Dubai, I’m hearing creek harbor is a good place to invest right now?

@gordongekko @TateTheTalisman Dubai is where smart capital compounds fastest I’d diversify into prime off-plan assets with strong rental yield and capital appreciation. Happy to show you how I structure portfolios for high net worth investors zero speculation all strategy 👌 Let’s connect Gordon

@TateTheTalisman Interested to hear how you would invest it, real estate and then rental income?

Yes

The first of our five-part series on 9/11. Enjoy.

Just gettting started $XRP

Google are literally going to be using $XLM … 🚀🚀🚀

BREAKING: 🚨 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE TO BEGIN ISSUING ECONOMIC DATA ON THE BLOCKCHAIN

Say, Allahu Akbar.

﴿مَتَاعُ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيلٌ وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنِ اتَّقَىٰ﴾

Allahu Akbar simply means "God is great" in Arabic. a lot of people who are ignorant of Islam tend to lose their mind when they hear someone chanting those words. they think it as a form of declaration of war or in so many negative and brutal ways.

We’ve been seeing more and more players in the payments and stablecoins space launch their own blockchains. To me, that’s a clear sign the market sees blockchain as core financial infrastructure — something we’ve believed in and have been building toward on the XRP Ledger for over 13 years. Launching a blockchain is hard. Building an ecosystem with developers, liquidity, trust, and real-world usage is even harder. The XRPL has real traction and institutional adoption because it’s been battle-tested, updated, and improved upon for well over a decade. Some blockchains are built with permissioned validator sets controlled by one entity or a small group. This can provide control and compliance for specific, closed-network scenarios, but it limits reach, resilience, and the ability for anyone to contribute to securing and growing the network. Decentralization vs. centralization is constantly debated and there’s not a single answer that fits every use case for crypto and the concepts themselves have changed in definition over the years. As many of you know, the XRPL is public and permissionless at its core, with optional permissioned features for regulated use cases. This open foundation makes it adaptable, interoperable, and well-positioned to serve as critical infrastructure for the world’s financial system — connecting assets, markets, and participants seamlessly across borders. The XRPL was built so fees stay low and predictable, just fractions of a cent, without a separate gas token. You can pay directly in XRP for any issued asset, avoiding the friction and hidden costs of buying another token just to transact. XRP is counterparty-free, accessible by all, and used as a bridge asset with real utility for payments, settlement, and liquidity. (Every transaction on the XRPL uses/burns XRP.) It’s encouraging to see some newer chains adopt design choices that have long been part of the XRPL’s architecture, like deterministic finality and Proof of Authority-based consensus mechanisms. It shows there’s growing alignment in the industry on the importance of predictable, reliable settlement for financial applications without expensive validation. Looking forward to the next phase of XRPL innovations, bringing more programmability, compliance-grade capabilities, and deeper liquidity for institutional use. And to those just getting started… Welcome to the party! The crypto tent is only getting bigger.
