The crypto market is heating up as attention shifts to XRP and its upcoming XRP ETFs. The head of a leading crypto exchange says the launch of an XRP ETF could bring a wave of fresh capital into the market. He believes the impact will strengthen XRP’s place among digital assets, attract institutional investors, and increase trust in the token. 

Crypto.com CEO Predicts $8 Billion Inflows Into XRP ETF

In a recent video posted on X by John Squire, Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek shared his bold outlook for XRP’s future. He predicts that a new XRP ETF could draw as much as $8 billion in inflows in its first year. According to Marszalek, that level of new money would provide XRP with the extra liquidity it needs to gain more ground in the global cryptocurrency market.

Marszalek explains that these inflows would show a new level of confidence, moving XRP beyond being viewed as just a speculative asset in the digital space. According to the Crypto.com CEO, this moment marks the beginning of XRP’s next phase of growth. 

Marszalek’s prediction suggests that the ETF would indicate institutions are prepared to view XRP as more than just a trading coin. For the XRP community, Marszalek’s words are adding to the excitement already building.  

ETF To Drive Institutional Demand And Liquidity Growth

As institutions add XRP to their portfolios, retail interest may also rise, broadening the base of buyers. The Crypto.com CEO believes the new inflows will not only raise XRP’s position but also give it a larger role in decentralized finance (DeFi). With billions in fresh capital, XRP could appeal more to investors who want blockchain assets for trading or financial tools. 

The timing of the first XRP spot ETF also adds to the bullish momentum. The REX Shares and Osprey Funds will launch the XRP ETF on September 18. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart confirms that the XRP ETF is set to launch this week, despite potential delays for other products. ETF expert Eric Balchunas also notes that, although timelines are shifting, the Osprey XRP ETF is ready to begin trading soon, and experts predict it will attract increased institutional demand.

If that forecast holds, XRP could face a sudden inflow that market watchers call a “liquidity tsunami.” With inflows of up to $8 billion predicted by the Crypto.com CEO, the XRP ETF could mark the beginning of a liquidity surge unlike anything the asset has experienced before.

Expectations are running high among community members and market watchers, who will closely monitor the speed at which funds arrive and how exchanges handle the resulting flows. Traders and long-term holders say they will closely monitor liquidity, adoption, and whether XRP gains steady institutional support moving forward.

Even CZ Praised Hyperliquid as 'Awesome', But Its Biggest Moat Might Also Be Its Biggest Risk

In an episode of Galaxy Brains, Binance founder CZ praised Hyperliquid as "awesome" but clarified that while its product is strong, Binance cannot compete in its specific niche due to Hyperliquid's no-KYC, decentralized model. CZ noted he would not personally operate such a model, highlighting the inherent legal and compliance risks tied to its access advantage. The discussion underscores a core market structure conflict: on-chain perp platforms like Hyperliquid thrive on open, low-barrier access, which regulated exchanges like Binance cannot replicate without abandoning their global compliance posture. However, this very advantage makes Hyperliquid a clear target for regulatory scrutiny. The UK FCA has already issued a warning against Hyperliquid for potentially offering unauthorized services to UK users, framing it as a financial services provider rather than neutral infrastructure. Historical cases like the CFTC's action against bZeroX and Ooki DAO further illustrate that regulators may pursue decentralized structures if they facilitate leveraged trading for retail users without proper controls. Meanwhile, regulated venues like Cboe are developing US-compliant "continuous futures" that mimic perpetual exposure, narrowing the product gap. Hyperliquid's long-term edge may increasingly hinge on its access model—the very feature most exposed to regulatory pressure. The key question is whether its "access premium" can withstand escalating legal challenges as on-chain perps gain mainstream attention.

A Hard-Fought Battle to Defend Par Value: STRC Drifts Further Away from $100

STRC, the dividend-paying stock issued by Michael Saylor's bitcoin reserve firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is trading far below its intended $100 par value, closing recently at $80.84. With a key dividend snapshot date approaching, Saylor aims to pull the price back to $100, as per SEC filings stating the company's goal to stabilize the stock near that level. The situation is complicated by the June volume-weighted average price (VWAP) falling below $95, triggering an internal rule that mandates the next dividend increase to be at least double the standard 0.25% per cycle, potentially pushing the annualized dividend yield to 12%. However, attracting buyers with this higher yield faces challenges: the payout is spread over 24 bi-monthly installments, the board can alter or suspend dividends at any time, and there is no guarantee against further price declines. Beyond raising dividends, Strategy has limited tools to boost the stock. These include direct share buybacks (never utilized), halting new share issuances above $100 (which currently cap the price), selling ordinary MSTR shares to build a cash buffer for dividends (with limited effect so far), or announcing special shareholder benefits. Historically, STRC has reclaimed the $100 mark, such as in October last year, driven by a combination of dividend fulfillment, a rate hike, and a pause in share sales. The core question remains how much cost and effort Strategy is willing to bear to attract the necessary buying pressure to restore the $100 par value.

Fable 5 is about to make a comeback, code exposed? Anthropic CEO kicked out of the White House

Fable 5, a previously restricted AI model from Anthropic, appears poised for a comeback. Evidence from leaked code in the Claude Code v2.1.190 version suggests a shift in its business model from a separate purchase to a potentially limited weekly usage allowance within standard Claude subscriptions. Furthermore, the model has reportedly reappeared in Amazon Bedrock documentation. This potential revival coincides with significant internal changes at Anthropic. According to a report by The Wired, CEO Dario Amodei was reportedly sidelined from negotiations with the Trump administration over Fable 5's export restrictions. Government officials found him difficult to communicate with. Co-founder Tom Brown and policy head Sarah Heck took over discussions, leading to more productive technical talks aimed at addressing White House security concerns about the model being "jailbroken." External pressure is mounting as a bipartisan group of US lawmakers has demanded answers from the Commerce Department by a June 26 deadline regarding the criteria and timeline for potentially reinstating public access to Fable 5. The potential return of Fable 5 comes as competitors OpenAI and Google have reportedly delayed their own major model releases. If Anthropic successfully navigates the government's security review, Fable 5 could gain a significant "safety-certified" advantage in the enterprise market. The countdown to the June 26 deadline is now underway.
