I need to say this openly and honestly.

I have always liked XRP.
I believed in the asset.
I believed in the ledger.

But I was sceptical about Ripple.
About intentions.
About direction.
About whether they would truly align with the long term future of global finance instead of short term optics.

Today that scepticism ends.

Ripple receiving OCC conditional approval to charter a National Trust Bank changes everything.
This is not marketing.
This is not lobbying.
This is not narrative crafting.

This is submission to the highest level of regulatory oversight in the United States.
Federal oversight.
State oversight.
Full accountability.

You do not take this path unless you are serious.
You do not invite this level of scrutiny unless you are building something meant to last decades.

I admit it plainly.
I was wrong.

And because of that I can now wholeheartedly support Ripple with conviction.
Not just XRP the asset
But Ripple the institution.

This is what maturity looks like.
This is what legitimacy looks like.
This is what the future of crypto actually looks like.

Respect where it is due.

🚨🇺🇸 BROWN UNIVERSITY SHOOTING: SUSPECT USED HANDGUN, NOT ASSAULT RIFLE

Authorities now believe the Brown University shooter used a handgun, per AP.

The manhunt drags on for the male suspect in dark clothing who gunned down 2 and wounded 8 in the engineering building during finals.

Students are still hunkered down in lockdowns, spotted barricaded hours after the chaos erupted.

This handgun detail?

It straight-up shreds the left's knee-jerk "ban assault weapons" narrative they're already spinning on this tragedy.

Focus on the motive and the monster behind it, not politicizing like Dems do every time, bad guys don't follow laws, period.

Suspect's at large, campus on edge, prayers for the victims, and swift justice.

The menorah is lit for the first night of Hanukkah at the National Menorah Lighting in Washington, D.C.

🚨 SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE NAILS IT ON THE SENATE FLOOR: "This is a major national security threat. Radical Islamists have proven over and over again that they are willing to do whatever it takes to kill just one American citizen."

"We need to permanently shut down Sharia law in this country before it's too late. Wake up America."

"Now is the time to act, because if we don't, we're going to lose this country where we know it."

"And it didn't just happen overseas, it has been allowed to fester and is alive and well in our very own country, just waiting for the right opportunity to attack."

"Open your eyes, America. The values of this country was built on cannot co-exist with radically Islam."

"It doesn't work. It's one, our Constitution, or the other. You can't mix them."

"This isn't a Republican or Democrat issue. This is an American issue. Just look at Europe."

"We are headed down the same dark path as what Europe's going through now if we don't wake up."

🔥 President Trump and RFK Jr. have launched a historic federal task force to dismantle global chemtrail operations. Armed with full legal power, “Operation Skywatch” aims to expose the spraying of toxic chemicals, arrest those involved — from pilots to scientists to elite financiers — and prosecute them for environmental terrorism and crimes against humanity. The era of denial is over. This is Nuremberg 2.0, and it’s happening now.

Absolutely embarrassing.

🇺🇸 TRUMP: I’M OPEN TO PARDONING THE SAMOURAI BITCOIN CEO

Trump is signaling another major pro Bitcoin move, this time over the fate of Samourai Wallet CEO Keonne Rodriguez.

The DOJ says his privacy software helped launder millions.

Bitcoiners say it’s a test of whether code itself can be criminalized.

The question has become a lightning rod between regulators and crypto advocates who say privacy isn’t a crime:

“I’ve heard about it, I’ll look at it.

Let’s take a look at it.”

🌐 VERIFICATION HAS MOVED OFF PAPER

ALERT

· The next shift is already underway and it explains why many systems suddenly feel slower, quieter, or uncertain. Control is no longer being granted through documents, numbers, or intermediaries. Verification is moving away from paper logic into direct confirmation of the living holder.

· Institutions were built to manage records, not people. For decades they operated inside closed loops where the record itself carried authority. That loop is now broken. When a system cannot confirm a real beneficiary behind the entry, it pauses. That pause is intentional. It prevents further extraction.

· Internal reconciliations are accelerating. Databases that never spoke to each other are now being forced to align. Where conflicts appear, the older claim collapses automatically. This is why long standing assumptions are failing and previously untouchable structures are backing away without explanation.

· The financial side follows the same rule. Value is no longer validated by contracts stacked on contracts. It is validated by origin, traceability, and rightful connection. Anything that cannot prove that connection is losing standing by default.

· What looks like confusion from the outside is actually correction. The system is not breaking. It is discarding layers that were designed to obscure ownership and responsibility.

This stage is quiet by design.
No announcements. No warnings.
Just systems adjusting to a reality they can no longer override.

Control layers are disconnecting.
Verification is becoming direct.
And once that process completes, nothing returns to how it was before.

'BE PROUD': President Trump said American Jews celebrating Hanukkah should not be worried about their safety following the deadly Bondi Beach terror attack. "Celebrate proudly – be proud of who you are," Trump said.
