Now, here’s the part where the plot thickens, my dear friend. Deaton, the man of unwavering belief, dares to suggest that the gap between XRP and Ethereum—oh yes, that revered behemoth of the blockchain world—is smaller than one might think. Can it be true? Is the mighty Ethereum truly trembling at the rise of XRP? It’s not just a matter of numbers, but of something far more visceral—momentum, like a rolling stone gathering moss, or perhaps more fittingly, like a gambler doubling down at the roulette table. You see, there was the launch of the 2x XRP ETF (XXRP), a most peculiar thing, but one that made quite a stir. In its first day of trading, it raked in a modest $5 million—a sum that would make a mere mortal weep. Yet, for the uninitiated, this might seem unremarkable. But for Deaton and his loyal XRP brethren, this is no small feat. No, this places the ETF in the top 5% of all ETF launches, outshining the 2x Solana ETF (SOLT) by a margin so great that even a blind man could see it.
