Ripple CEO Teases “Something Special” for XRP Holders in Possible IPO As Bulls Target $12 Mega Run
Ripple chief Brad Garlinghouse has fueled fresh speculation within the XRP community after hinting that XRP holders could receive “something special” if his company eventually moves forward with plans to become a publicly traded company.

The comments were made during a recent appearance on the Crypto in America podcast hosted by journalist Eleanor Terrett, where Garlinghouse discussed the possibility of a future IPO for Ripple. He, however, emphasized that the company is not currently prioritizing a public listing.

During the interview, Terrett highlighted criticism that Ripple has grown into a major private-company success story, while holders of XRP remain financially distinct from the company’s equity structure and do not directly participate in its corporate ownership.

Garlinghouse noted that Ripple was most recently valued at around $50 billion in a share buyback, a figure that has further intensified debate over whether the company’s growth should more directly benefit holders of XRP.

When asked whether Ripple had considered an XRP token buyback—an idea recently floated by some industry figures as a way to allow holders to share in the company’s success—Garlinghouse stopped short of endorsing any near-term plan. Instead, he stressed that Ripple’s role in the ecosystem is indirect but foundational, pointing to its focus on developing products, infrastructure, and institutional partnerships designed to enhance the utility, liquidity, and overall trust surrounding XRP.
“I hope XRP holders feel like they are benefiting from Ripple’s existence by virtue of what we’re doing to try to catalyze things within the XRP community,” Garlinghouse posited.

US government publishes never-before-seen UFO files
The US Department of War on Friday published the first batch of previously classified UFO files, formally termed UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), as part of a new government framework known as PURSUE, or the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters.

The released materials comprise videos, photos, and documents that were previously withheld from public view and are now available through a dedicated website, with further releases scheduled over time.

The effort brings together multiple agencies, including the White House, intelligence offices, DOE, NASA, FBI, and others. More files will continue to be posted at WAR.GOV/UFO over time.
This release follows President Donald Trump’s order to make government UAP records public to increase transparency. Officials say the materials were checked for security issues but still need further analysis.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth framed the release as a response to years of “justified speculation” fueled by classification barriers.

“These files, hidden behind classifications, have long fueled justified speculation — and it’s time the American people see it for themselves,” Hegseth stated.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard described the effort as “a careful, comprehensive, and unprecedented review” of intelligence community holdings.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman was more measured, saying NASA’s role is to “follow the data” and remain “candid about what we know to be true, what we have yet to understand, and all that remains to be discovered.”

VanEck Breaks Down Bitcoin's Path to $1 Million in 5 Years

Bitcoin is on a structural path to reach $1 million per coin within the next five years, according to Matthew Sigel, VanEck's head of digital assets research.

Speaking on CNBC's "Halftime Report," Sigel characterized the asset's ascent as a "base case" driven by shifting demographic trends and its emerging role as a legitimate central bank reserve asset.

Despite Bitcoin and Ethereum trading down year-to-date, Sigel maintains a "constructive" view of the current price action, describing it as a short-covering rally rather than a derivative-fueled bubble. The executive noted that Bitcoin's correlation with the Nasdaq has reached a five-year high, suggesting that recent gains are largely macro-driven.

Bitcoin And Ethereum At Risk As Quantum 'Q-Day' Timeline Moves Closer The quantum threat to Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets is growing more pronounced amid repeated warnings from blockchain security firms.

Despite red flags, actual developments remain stalled, causing jitters among holders.

A new report suggests the quantum threat is closer than ever and could break the cryptographic code as early as 2030. This comes on the heels of previous reports from Google researchers and crypto experts placing the timeline at 2032.

Quantum security firm Project Eleven believes that modern technology and recent hardware could put billions of assets at risk within four years. As the potential safety net shrinks, users worry that the entire industry is unprepared for a sudden change.
