Ripple, Ethereum, and Gold: A Curious Tale!

Behold, the venerable SwissBullion, that paragon of tradition, now dances with the digital age, accepting XRP and ETH like a poet embracing a new verse 💰. What sorcery is this? A European dealer of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium-once the sole arbiters of value-now whispers to the blockchain’s siren song 🌍.

Bitcoin, that stalwart of the crypto realm, is joined by Ethereum and XRP, as if the metals themselves have donned digital armor. A stablecoin symphony plays on, with Tether and USDC waltzing alongside the rest. A modern marvel, indeed 🧾.

Precious metals dealer SwissBullion now accepting #XRP and ETH for precious metals purchases. (They mislabel it as “Ripple” in the p/r in places). Not clear if they use a payment processor or handle wallets directly. 🤔

SwissBullion, ever the visionary, claims this fusion of old and new shall grant clients a “diverse and modern range of crypto payment options.” A noble goal, though one wonders if the gold will ever forgive its digital betrayal 😅.

Ethereum, XRP news

Ethereum, that once-dormant titan, stirs with the launch of Fusaka on Hoodi, a testnet as thrilling as a midnight stroll through a snowstorm ⚡. With Holesky and Sepolia already conquered, the mainnet’s dawn looms, tentatively scheduled for Dec. 3. A new era, or merely another chapter in the eternal tale of tech’s fleeting promises?

XRP Ledger, that quiet giant, closed Q3 with an RWA market cap of $364.2 million-215% higher than the previous quarter. A meteoric rise, though one might question if it’s the stars aligning or just a well-timed marketing campaign 🌟.

Year-over-year, XRP’s market cap has surged 392.6%-a number that would make even the most jaded investor blink. Transactions, addresses, and new users all swell, as if the network itself is celebrating a birthday. But will this joy last? Time, as always, shall tell 🕰️.

Seven U.S. spot XRP ETF applications linger in the SEC’s shadow, awaiting approval. A waiting game, where hope and bureaucracy collide 🎭.
