Garlinghouse, that paragon of caution, declared in a missive posted to X on Wednesday that the broader market rally hath spurred scammers to impersonate the official Ripple YouTube account, a trick as old as the hills but ever effective. 🎬🎭

As if summoned by the trumpets of opportunity, the market whirled into a frenzy, sending prices skyrocketing beyond the enticing threshold of $1.16, only to retreat back into its lair like a shy cat. Such behavior merely confirms the whimsical nature of these crypto assets, ever so susceptible to the whims of regulatory beacons and the complex tapestry of investor emotions. Volatility? Oh, my dear readers, that’s just an artist’s tool for creating drama! 🎭

This comment, delivered at a flashy AI summit hosted by the All-In Podcast crew and the Hill & Valley Forum, offered a sharp rebuke to the copyright maximalism gaining traction in Washington. It also marks the first time the Trump White House has publicly laid out its stance on the high-stakes question of how generative AI intersects with intellectual property. 🧨 *Because nothing says “innovation” like stealing content and calling it a day.*

The charts tell a tale as old as time—or at least as old as crypto trading. XRP broke out with the enthusiasm of a cat chasing a laser pointer, soaring above its 50, 100, and 200 EMAs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 80, which technically screams “overbought,” but there’s no panic selling in sight. No one seems to be hitting the eject button just yet, unlike Ethereum, whose rallies often attract institutional sell-offs faster than you can say “blockchain.” 😅

As economists joust over the triumphant policy of tariffs orchestrated by President Trump, we find ourselves elbow-deep in the second-quarter (Q2) corporate reporting season. The season, which would have all the flair of an extravagant soirée had we any celebration left in the economy, commenced mid-July, offering investors a rare opportunity to grasp the elusive essence of market resilience amid contemporary economic headwinds that would make even a seasoned sailor dizzy.

In a rather telling post on X this Wednesday, our ever-charismatic CEO Joe McCann confessed that their current fiscal dalliance “has ceased to serve our beloved LPs.” Well, isn’t that a revelation? He went further to confirm that Asymmetric shall commence a charming transition, moving their capital from the alluring waters of liquidity to the murkier depths of illiquid investments. How utterly thrilling! 😲💸

All the usual suspects—volume, trader enthusiasm, and maybe a touch of fairy dust—have joined the party. Trading volume hit a staggering $929.5 million, because nothing screams stability like total market chaos, right? Over 118 million tokens exchanged hands—in crypto world, that’s practically a daily dinner buffet for the whales.

The GENIUS Act, now etched in law like an absurd decree from some bureaucratic czar, lets banks and fintech wizards dabble in stablecoins with guidelines so “clear” they might as well be written in invisible ink. This opens the floodgates for USDT to duel it out in the US arena, where Circle’s USDC has been lounging like a pampered cat with $65 billion to its name. Tether, ever the underdog with a mischievous grin, smells blood. 😏

Truly, one begins to suspect that the human heart is a bottomless well of both ingenuity and perfidy. It is not accidental, of course, that this surge in trickery accompanies the token’s recent, shall we say, elevation in price. Like vultures circling a promising carcass, these scoundrels gather when the scent of potential gain is strongest. One almost feels a begrudging admiration for their timing, were it not for the damage they inflict.

“Sell Ethereum, buy Bitcoin,” Schiff declares, not out of love for BTC, mind you, but because the charts—those fickle sirens—have sung their song. Ethereum, he claims, is a ship adrift in a sea of structural risks. 🌊 Meanwhile, Bitcoin stands firm, a stoic giant, unmoved by the outflows from its spot ETFs. Oh, the irony of a gold advocate finding solace in the very digital beast he once scorned! 😏
