Is XRP finally becoming the global reserve asset the world has been waiting for? In 2026, the conversation has shifted from "Will it survive?" to "How high can it go?" As the digital bridge for the world's central banks, XRP is no longer just a token—it's the backbone of the new financial system.

Brian from Santiment joined me to review the crypto market metrics for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple XRP, Solana, and Avax. We also look at the surging price and sentiment for gold and silver.

In this episode, we'll break down exactly what happens to Bitcoin if Trump follows through, how it could spark volatility across Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, and why traders are bracing for impact.

Leading advocacy groups from across the US digital asset sector have urged the Federal Trade Commission to adopt a more restrained and technologically informed approach to consumer protection.

On this episode of The Crypto Rundown, Mark Longo is joined by Greg Magadini, Director of Derivatives at Amberdata, to break down a wild start to the year. As Bitcoin (BTC) slips back toward $88k and Ethereum (ETH) struggles to reclaim the $3,000 handle, the team explores why current market conditions are a prime setup for "strangling" volatility. Inside This Episode: The Bitcoin Breakdown: BTC is down nearly 4,000 handles since the last show. We analyze the $88k support level and the shift in the 30-day volatility complex. Gold vs. Bitcoin Volatility: Why is a $34T asset like Gold currently showing nearly the same volatility as the $1.7T Bitcoin market? Greg explains the "Digital Gold" underperformance and what it means for the tape. The Rise of IBIT Dailies: Big news for liquidity! We discuss the launch of Monday and Wednesday weeklies for the BlackRock IBIT ETF and how "Zero Day" (0DTE) culture is officially entering the Bitcoin space. MicroStrategy (MSTR/MSTU) Mechanics: Analyzing the "canary in the coal mine." Is there a "death spiral" risk if BTC continues to slip, or are we on the verge of a massive short squeeze? Strategic Playbook: Why Greg is eyeing wide synthetic strangles and the "right tail" explosion. We also look at the massive bearish shift in weekly skew and what it tells us about trader sentiment. Altcoin Universe: Quick hits on Solana (SOL) volatility, the XRP sub-$2 struggle, and why Circle (CRCL) equity might be the most "serious" altcoin on your radar.

Crypto Power Shift: XRP | Canada Losing Alberta | Europe Exposed Crypto is no longer on the sidelines — it's moving into the center of global power. In tonight's On The Chain livestream, we break down the Crypto Power Shift, including why XRP and digital assets are increasingly tied to institutional adoption, regulation, and national strategy. As the United States positions itself as the global crypto capital, the ripple effects are being felt worldwide. We then turn to Canada, where growing tension between Alberta and Ottawa is raising serious questions about political alignment, economic sovereignty, and the future of the federation. Alberta's pushback is no longer theoretical — it's becoming a real pressure point with national consequences. Finally, we expose what's happening across Europe. From Germany and Hungary to the UK and beyond, cracks are forming between leadership, policy, and public reality. Immigration, borders, elections, and economic control are all converging into a moment of reckoning. This episode connects: • XRP and the crypto power shift • U.S. crypto policy and global influence • Alberta's role in Canada's internal struggle • Europe's political and economic exposure • Borders, sovereignty, and voter integrity This isn't about headlines or hype. It's about who controls money, borders, and legitimacy in a rapidly changing world.

XRP Exposed | EU Admits Failure | Canada on the Brink Most people are missing what's actually happening. This isn't just another XRP update. This is a system-level shift. Today we break down: • The new XRP report covering ETFs, DATs, Ripple acquisitions, XRPL network growth, and RLUSD scale • Why institutional XRP treasuries and agentic AI finance matter right now • How friction is being removed on the XRPL through wallets, AMMs, and real usability • Europe openly admitting failure • Canada fracturing under bad policy and global pressure • Why decentralization and transparency are the real threats to legacy power While governments argue, fracture, and implode — XRP infrastructure keeps scaling quietly. This stream connects crypto, power, money, and geopolitics so you can actually see the chessboard.

This Bitcoin drop is definitely catching the market off guard. XRP had its largest outflows yet. After holding strong near the $100k milestone, we've seen a sharp reversal that has wiped out billions in market cap in just 48 hours. In this episode, we're breaking down the structural shift in the market. Is this just a "healthy correction," or are we seeing the beginning of a larger macro-driven downtrend?

This week, we speak with Asheesh Birla, CEO of Evernorth. Evernorth is a crypto treasury focused on XRP, a cryptocurrency that is used in decentralized financial structures and payments. It aims to power that endeavor through its business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ:XRPN), announced in October. Crypto treasury deals were one of the major themes of 2025 SPAC dealflow, but they are far from being all the same.  Asheesh explains how the company plans to leverage its XRP holdings to generate yield over the long term and how XRP's unique appeal in international markets presents a fresh opportunity for the crypto treasury model. Give it a listen. This interview contains forward-looking statements. See linked press release for important disclaimers: https://www.evernorth.xyz/press-release-10-20-2025

Send us fan responses! What if courts act like banks, your all-caps name functions as a business, and the real game is learning to contract on your terms? We got together with Dom Kalam and Equity Mac to unpack the mechanics behind status, standing, and identity—and how those mechanics shape everything from traffic tickets to taxes to titles. The conversation moves from first principles to practical tools: Black's Law Dictionary, UCC 1-308 to reserve rights, and the shift from a default sole proprietorship to layered structures like holding companies, private family trusts, and 508(c)(1)(A) ministries. The aim is simple: separate identity from liability, keep clean records, and operate in the private with clarity and competence.Ownership becomes the bridge between law and technology. We dig into equitable vs legal title, deeds and MSOs, and why “possession” isn't ownership if the paper says otherwise. Then we connect it to the next wave: blockchain, tokenization, and ISO 20022 payment rails like XRP and XLM. With the DTCC exploring tokenized settlement, assets from real estate to equities can be represented on-chain—transparent, portable, fast. That demands better governance: who holds the keys, who writes the bylaws, who benefits, and how disputes get resolved. “Not your keys, not your crypto” reads like a 21st-century lesson in title law.We also share tactics for navigating taxes and capital in a system built on contracts: lawful tax avoidance via structure, cash-flow lending that beats weak credit, inter-entity trade lines, and using arbitration or audits to fix records. The throughline is education by action—read primary sources, learn the language, document your rules, and practice. Whether you're setting up a trust, opening a crypto wallet, or preparing for tokenized titles, this conversation lays out a path to hold what you build with true control.If this helped you see the matrix behind money, subscribe, share with a friend, and drop a review.

Many of them were donorsNew analysis finds federal agencies halted or limited enforcement and prosecution, including many involving companies and individuals with ties to President Donald TrumpRipple, the cryptocurrency company behind XRP, donated $4.9 million — among the largest donation — to Trump's inauguration events. Shortly afterward, the Securities and Exchange Commission withdrew an appeal seeking nearly $2 billion in penalties against the company, settling instead for $125 million.After he and his wife donated $1.8 million to Trump's reelection, Trevor Milton — the CEO of electric vehicle startup Nikola, who was convicted in 2023 of defrauding investors — received a presidential pardon wiping out over $660 million in restitution. Milton's legal team included Attorney General Pam Bondi's brother, Brad Bondi.Amazon was facing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit for allegedly discriminating against pregnant workers. After Trump signed an April 2025 executive order directing agencies not to rely on disparate impact analysis — an important tool for proving discrimination — the EEOC then dismissed the case.The report details how Amazon donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund, made another $1 million in-kind donation by streaming the inauguration on Amazon Video, and is backing Trump's $300 million “Golden Ballroom” in the White House's East Wing. The company also announced a deal to stream The Apprentice, resulting in "unspecified" payments to Trump, who starred in and executive-produced the show. The company reportedly also paid $28 million to first lady Melania Trump for a documentary.What's more, Attorney General Pam Bondi worked as a registered lobbyist for Amazon in 2020 and 2021, while Trump ally Brian Ballard lobbied on Amazon's behalf in 2024.Trump tries to reduce CEO pay and halt billions in stock buybacks at defense contractorsTrump threatens to sideline Exxon from Venezuela's oil: 'They're playing too cute'Justice department opens investigation into Jerome Powell as Trump ramps up campaign against Federal ReserveFed chair accuses DoJ of threatening criminal charges over building renovation projects because central bank defied Trump's interest rate demandsGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: MacKenzie Scott is using her $26 billion philanthropy push to rescue organizations in danger after the Trump administration's funding cutsMM: RFK Jr.'s Health Department Is Studying Health Effects of CellphonesNot that there are any doctors there, or that anything they do anymore is science, BUT THIS IS GREATEven if they end up with spurious research that says “your cellphone and wifi will give you ballsack cancer”, it means less phones, less online, and happier humans with human friends and going outside moreAssholiest of the Week (MM):Brian Cornell“That could have been one of my Target team members”.“We have to be the role models that drive change and our voice is important.

That was when there was a lot of money in saying “we're for DEI” and every other CEO put out the same statement?

He's the worst kind of blowhard - has he ever offered a full throated defense of a blank person? A woman he's not married to who's not on Fox News? Does he ever admit he's wrong, biased, or a fucking hypocrite? Oh, but he says we all are? Shut. Your.

The 2025 Crypto Year in Review | Bitcoin Breakdown & The IBIT Revolution As we close the books on an insane 2025, Mark Longo and Greg Magadini from Amberdata sit down for the final episode of The Crypto Rundown of the year. It has been a year of massive adoption, regulatory shifts, and the definitive "IPO moment" for Bitcoin. From the explosion of IBIT options to the wild rollercoaster of Ethereum and the rise of digital asset treasuries, we break down the data that defined the last 12 months. Inside This Episode: The 2025 Bitcoin Retrospective: Bitcoin started the year in the mid-90s, hit an all-time high of $126,000 in October, and weathered the "Tariff Tantrum" lows of $76,000. The IBIT Story: Why the IBIT ETF was the story of the year, bringing traditional US investors into the crypto vol space and shifting the vol surface from the offshore "whales" to Wall Street. Ethereum's Multiple Lives: ETH went from being "dead" in Q1 to hitting nearly $5,000 in August, before finishing the year back under $3,000. The Changing Vol Landscape: A deep dive into why crypto skew has turned negative, looking more like traditional equity markets than the "call-heavy" markets of years past. Altcoin Universe Wrap-up: Analyzing the 2025 performance of Solana, XRP, Doge, and the "Netflix of stablecoins," Circle. Digital Asset Treasuries: The struggle of MicroStrategy (MSTR) and MSTU as momentum shifted at the tail end of the year. Notable Quotes: "The spot ETF was the IPO moment for Bitcoin. It was the time for big-time whales to finally get liquidity and distribute shares like a corporate listing." — Greg Magadini Resources & Links: Amberdata: Access granular on-chain and market data at Amberdata.io .

This is the dumb money playing field and they built it on purpose. In this episode, I break down how Wall Street, brokers, and these new 5x leveraged ETFs are setting retail investors up to get obliterated, while the wealthy quietly print money with assets, loans, and tax games most people never get taught. We talk about how 23-hour trading, 5x leveraged stock & crypto ETFs, and casino-style apps are designed to keep you glued to the screen, over-leveraged, and emotionally cooked — while the people who built the game barely touch this stuff. If you trade AMD, Nvidia, Tesla, Coinbase, Bitcoin, ETH, Solana, XRP, Amazon, Google, MSTR, Palantir… this episode is a must-watch before you ever touch a leveraged ETF.Join our Exclusive Patreon!!!
