Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

The question isn't whether XRP has generated interest for its ETF products, it's whether the asset has durable demand anchored in cross-border flows, stablecoin rails, and persistent liquidity that survives when ETF AUM stops climbing.

ETF exposure has already outgrown the $293 million of RLUSD sitting on XRPL as of Dec. 19, according to DefiLlama data. Still, it is not comparable in magnitude to the $15 billion in Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity processed in 2024.

That means the ETF wrapper is measurable but still relatively thin compared to the full flow running through RippleNet over a year, and to XRPL address-based and daily payments.

If ETF flows stagnate, the answer about real adoption sits in the plumbing, not the tickers.

Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin strategy is facing fresh criticism as gold supporter and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff threatens him with upcoming Lawsuits. He called Strategy’s STRC stock “misleading” and warned it could lead to fraud claims. 

He also said investors may face losses and even file lawsuits if dividends are cut or the stock falls. 

Schiff Threatens Saylor of Coming Lawsuits
The latest tension started after Michael Saylor shared his Bitcoin accumulation strategy on X. His company has been raising money through STRC perpetual preferred stock, which is designed to stay near $100 and pays monthly dividends with an annual yield of about 11.5%.

Peter Schiff strongly reacted to this move and criticized the structure. He said it could mislead investors and may even be seen as

New Bitcoin upgrade proposal splits opinions.

Developers say freezing Bitcoin in vulnerable wallets is necessary to defend against a potential quantum attack.

A future quantum computer could threaten the $1.5 trillion blockchain.

Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the richest people in the world, but a new proposal risks locking away the Bitcoin founder’s trove forever.

A group of six Bitcoin developers and quantum computer experts have proposed permanently deactivating vulnerable wallets in a bid to protect the network from future quantum attacks.

The proposal, published on Tuesday, would upgrade the blockchain to stop users from sending Bitcoin to vulnerable wallets, and eventually reject any transaction from those wallets at a predetermined point in the future.

Bitcoin left in vulnerable wallets at that time would become permanently locked away, although the developers say measures could be put in place to allow owners to recover their coins.

Cantor Fitzgerald Donates $10 Million to Crypto PAC Led by Tether Executive

Cantor Fitzgerald has donated $10 million to Fellowship PAC, a crypto-focused super PAC chaired by Tether's U.S. head of government affairs Jesse Spiro, according to Federal Election Commission filings disclosed Wednesday.

The donation comes at a moment when the line between traditional finance and crypto lobbying capital is becoming hard to define.

The headline number is large enough to matter. Whether it buys the regulatory outcomes the industry wants - and on what timeline - is the harder question.

A super PAC operates without contribution limits from corporations or individuals, provided it does not coordinate directly with candidates.

Fellowship PAC uses that structure to back pro-crypto candidates in federal races and fund issue-advocacy advertising - the $3 million already spent on advocacy ads is the clearest example of the latter in action.

Three things Bitcoin must do to hold highs above $76K: Analysts
Analysts say reclaiming $76,000, sustained spot market buy volume and consistent inflows to the Bitcoin ETFs are the necessary components required for a rally to new highs.

Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to reclaim price highs above $76,000, but analysts say that the uptrend may continue if key conditions are met.

Bitcoin’s 8% climb over the last three days saw it reclaim key levels, including the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $71,000.

“$76K is the level that decides everything,” analyst Crypto Patel said in a Wednesday post on X, adding:

“We need a proper HTF candle close above this zone to trust the move.”

The analyst further explained that a high-time frame close above $76,000 would open the path toward the $84,000-$96,000 zone, where investors acquired more than 2 million BTC over the last six months, according to Glassnode’s cost basis distribution heatmap.
Echoing this view, trading resource Material Indicators said that “there are multiple levels of technical resistance stacked” between the spot price and a “bonafide $BTC bull market breakout.”

These include the yearly open at $87,500 and the 50-week moving average at $97,000, which must be reclaimed to confirm that the “$BTC bull market has returned,” Material Indicators said in a follow-up post.
