Why Isn’t XRP Getting Its Turn? A Satirical Take on ETF Shenanigans 🎭

Bloomberg’s erudite Senior ETF Analyst, Eric Balchunas, has confirmed that the NYSE is diligently granting certificates to a new crop of crypto ETFs-Bitwise’s Solana (SOL), Grayscale’s GSOL, and their ilk. It appears they’re all lining up to pirouette onto the grand stage, barring a last-minute apparition of the SEC’s shadowy intervention. But one suspect remains conspicuously absent: XRP. The community is left to ponder, with a soupçon of sarcasm, whether the SEC is perhaps too busy playing hide-and-seek with the elusive piece of the puzzle.

A $1 Billion Labyrinth: US Energy Department and AMD Chess with Supercomputers

The decision highlights how traditional credit markets are beginning to formally evaluate companies whose balance sheets are deeply tied to digital assets-a milestone that the crypto industry views as a significant validation of bitcoin’s growing institutional legitimacy.
