Senator Lummis introduced the Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness through Optimized Investment Nationwide (BITCOIN) Act in the U.S. Senate not too long ago. The act calls for selling the US Treasury's gold and using the proceeds to buy Bitcoin. I posted a lengthy article addressing the issue:

XRP whales have been bag holders for years as the SEC lawsuits against Ripple (XRP) have dragged on and on (and kept XRP locked in the doldrums). I'm quite sure there are many of them eager to finally exit their positions in spite of the ultra bullish nonsense they spout on X.

Those words would carry a lot more weight if the pardon were limited to the those offenses instead of being a blanket that covers all the malfeasance of their Ukraine shenanigans from 2014 through 2025. As it is, that reads like a poorly veiled excuse for CYA over the laptop contents and Ukraine influence peddling / money laundering schemes.
If he hasn't been active on X either, it seems more likely that life has interfered with all internets activity. I hope all is well with him. Going dark like this generally isn't a good sign.

I bought a tiny bit a few months ago. It's on a bit of a run right now as expectations are rising that the SEC lawsuit is going to be dropped. I'm a bit conflicted about XRP though. They are really trying to ingratiate themselves with banking authorities to build/enable a CBDC.
Separately, I have to wonder how XRPs tech measures up (scalability, security, decentralization, etc.) against newer systems like SUI and EGLD.
