The fateful encounter, as one might expect, transpired at the White House-a location that, as Garlinghouse himself conceded with the enthusiasm of a man recounting a particularly dull dinner party, was “kind of weird.” One can only speculate whether the chandeliers or the ghosts of past scandals made the atmosphere so disconcerting.

Other altcoins, including XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, also dropped between 5% and 18%.

US-chartered bank SoFi is now letting its 13.7 million customers deposit, buy, and hold Solana (SOL) directly from its banking app. Because nothing says “safety” like a digital currency that’s more unpredictable than a politician’s promise.

According to Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, XRP has been gobbling up half of all new cash flowing into altcoin ETFs.

Behold the bond market.

But enough of the sarcastic musings. Let’s take a closer look at the glorious battle between bulls and bears in the XRP arena. One brave soul claims there is no “hopium” involved. Perhaps there’s truth in that… but we’ll let you decide.

So, SBF-yes, that SBF, currently vacationing in a government-sponsored resort-has decided to weigh in on the future of AI and crypto. Because, you know, what else is he going to do? Knit?
