Ah, attend, dear friends, and witness a spectacle as grand as Don Juan’s romantic mischiefs! 🌊 Today, through the ever-vigilant gaze of Whale Alert—Monsieur Blockchain’s personal errand boy with a penchant for gossip three whales wide—we are regaled with tales of three colossal XRP escapades worth a whopping billion coins. One must wonder, do these ledgers ever catch their breath?
Our chief protagonist? The good folk at Ripple, that sly courtier of San Francisco! Rather than their old habit of dropping a billion XRP on the first day of the month—like a clockwork marquis flipping his wig—they now opt for a new routine. Yes! Variety is the spice of stablecoins, n’est-ce pas?
The Billion-XRP Fantasia, or The Great Escrow Uncorking
Picture it, like three masked revelers: a dainty 200 million XRP, a plump 300 million, and a robust 500 million, ripped straight from escrow and sent on mysterious adventures to places unknown. The weightiest purse, holding half a billion XRP, was clearly delivered with Ripple’s own signature. As for the others, the illustrious XRPscan claims they were equally begotten by Ripple’s hidden hand. Who knew blockchains had such dexterous fingers?
In true baroque fashion, the customary billion-XRP soirée has now become a cabaret act—split, swapped, and delivered not on the 1st, but fashionably late on the 3rd. To keep suspense high and eyelids low, Ripple now locks away a juicy 700 million XRP before they uncork the jubilant billion, instead of after. A reversal so dramatic, it would earn gasps in Versailles!

Let it be said: every month on that very first day, 700 million XRP are whisked back into their secret chamber. But, mes amis, this treasure is not pinched from the newly unlocked chest—it comes from elsewhere, like a secret second dessert nobody mentions.

By letting this trove of XRP loose on the world each month, Ripple prods the market’s liquidity (like Dorine poking at Orgon’s fragile ego), selling enough to pay their bills, fund party tricks, and fill the glasses of their institutional patrons. A bit for the exchanges, a dash for the Ripple Payments masquerade, and a healthy serving for their ever-thirsty partners. Santé!
The Circle Comedy: Ripple’s Billion-Dollar Wooing Fiasco
This week’s gossip: Ripple—the masked suitor—was rumored to have offered $4 to $5 billion to buy Circle, caretaker of the ever-so-desirable USDC. Alas! Circle, waving its fan, scoffed at the suitor’s advance. “You undervalue me, monsieur!”
But the rumor mill spun faster than a Parisian waltz. Whisperers insisted Ripple upped its bid to $20 billion, determined to sweep Circle off its stablecoin feet. Yet the gallant XRP army, not to be outdone, pelted these rumors with ridicule—sending CoinTelegraph and cohorts back to the rumor stocks, eggs and all. 👀🍳
