XRP ETFs pulled in $82 million in April, the best month of 2026. The price didn't move and that disconnect is the whole story. In March, Ripple Prime was added to the DTCC's clearing directory with broker code 0443, giving XRP-linked infrastructure direct access to the rails that process over $2 quadrillion in U.S. transactions annually. Goldman Sachs disclosed a $153.8 million spot XRP ETF position. Bitwise just overtook Canary as the largest XRP ETF, signaling institutional money replacing retail. Ripple in 2026 isn't a token company anymore. It's a $4 billion bet on owning institutional plumbing. In my latest piece for BitFinance, I unpack: 👉 The 3 acquisitions that built the institutional stack 👉 Why the price-vs-flows divergence usually resolves in one direction 👉 The DTCC tokenization runway nobody's pricing in 👉 Why I hold both #BTC and #XRP without contradiction Link in comments.

@DinaBelenkaya Awesome news!! Congrats Dina 👊🏻🙌🏻

I won the club championship!!!!!!!

Here’s everything you need to know about the Enhanced Games… 👇 I am Live commentating and analyzing the athletes protocols and measurements. + 42 athletes, many olympians + swimming, track, weightlifting + performance-enhancing drugs allowed + only FDA-approved substances + every protocol individualized + all athletes medically supervised + athlete enhancement optional Substances used: + 91% testosterone + 79% human growth hormone (HGH) + 62% stimulants (Adderall, modafinil) + 50% metabolic modulators (Anastrozole) + 41% EPO + 29% anabolic steroids (Deca-Durabolin) + 5% hormonal support (hCG) This is from aggregate data from a 12-week clinical trial of 36 of the 42 athletes. Some of the athletes… + James Magnussen + Fred Kerley + Ben Proud + Kristian Gkolomeev + Thor Björnsson The medical monitoring is unprecedented… + cardiology imaging + respiratory testing + organ health imaging + body composition analysis + musculoskeletal assessment + neurocognitive screening + genomic sequencing + biomarkers (blood, urine, saliva) Enhanced Games may be the most quantified sporting event in history. Compensation: + $25M in total athlete compensation + $500K prize purse per event + $250K to first place + $1M bonuses for breaking world records in the 100m sprint and 50m freestyle I’ll be broadcasting Live as the Human Enhancement Expert. I’ve reviewed: + their biomarkers + how their health changed + what their ‘enhancement’ is + their wearable data + their protocols Most people think Enhanced Games is about unregulated drug taking. It’s the opposite: it’s possibly the most quantified and medically supervised sporting event. See you tomorrow night.

Mark My Words: The @enhanced_games will be bigger and way more exciting than the olympics! why? They added a "car" to the driver. They added a complete new dynamic that needs to be managed and this will be become as exciting as optimising the F1 car for the driver. Well done @C_Angermayer! Can't wait for the games later!

@xrpbreezy @cryptomanran Exactly where my head was at fam. You nailed it

@bit_finance_ @cryptomanran That kind of diversification inside of crypto is ignorance. Spreading himself too thin. With as much time as he spends in the crypto space, he should have conviction on no more than a few projects.

@Legendaryy Of course fam!!

@bit_finance_ Super helpful thanks!!

How can I long the Enhanced Games? Never cared about the Olympics. Never cared about watching any sports event really. But something about the EG feels very honest and powerful. No hiding and trying to trick doping regulations and drawing arbitrary lines what you can and can’t do. Just figuring out what the human body is capable of.

@Ignorntoutsider @88Cozmo

@bit_finance_ @88Cozmo Yes that’s true but can confirm thumbtack cards get slabbed.

PSA 1’s have character. Work of art in itself.

@88Cozmo @Ignorntoutsider It was 100% me lol. Just didn't want to send it to PSA for them to reject it. I heard if there is anything "missing" from the card they won't slab it.

@Ignorntoutsider @bit_finance_ ok makes sense now 😁. Someone thumbtacked it to the corkboard

@Ignorntoutsider @88Cozmo Yeah - it was me, LOL

@bit_finance_ @88Cozmo Don’t undersell it. It’s a really cool class of damage. Someone (likely a kid back in the day) put a thumbtack in it and stuck it on their wall. What could be better than that?

@88Cozmo For sure 🤣 I don’t mind, it’s my own pull from childhood, I just want it slabbed

@bit_finance_ One thumb tack wound for the memories

@Ignorntoutsider @88Cozmo Not a zero? 😬

@bit_finance_ @88Cozmo Yes. Pin hole is auto PSA 1

@ShanksterIRL @CardPurchaser Shadowless? For sure get it graded.

Do I grade this!?!? Honestly other than the holo being scratched up a bit, it looks sooo good 😬 the back has very little bit of edge damage (ignore the glare from my light 😅😅) What do you guys think? @CardPurchaser

AI-driven tools are increasingly shaping how developers and market participants interact with financial markets. At Alpaca, we’re seeing continued growth in API-based trading activity. In Q1 2026: ✅ API usage increased nearly 4x from Q4 2025 ✅ Monthly growth rates reached ~30%, compared to single digits growth in Q4 2025 As more investors look to connect AI to financial markets, we’ve been designing tools like Alpaca’s new CLI and enhanced MCP Server V2 to help provide AI-native access to our trading infrastructure with risk controls and token efficiency at its core. “APIs once gave developers direct access to financial markets. AI is now broadening that access to a much larger group of users “People no longer need to build everything from scratch in code to express trading logic and interact with financial systems. As AI becomes the front door, APIs become even more important as the foundation underneath,” said @iyoshyoshi, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca. Read the full announcement below.
