XRP BREAKING! The Roadblock Is Gone! Trump Just Agreed CLARITY?!

[00:00:00]four quadrillion dollar. No, I didn't say trillion. Quadrillion with a Q. Let that sit for a second because by the end of this video, I'm going to show you where Ripple fits inside that number.

[00:00:13]Welcome back to the Ripple Moon Watch, guys. Today, the whole video comes down to one question. Is Ripple about to become the infrastructure king, the king maker? We got the Clarity Act, and I've got a prediction on that one you can write down and check me on later. We got the DTCC and that four quadrillion number I just hit you with and Ripple.

[00:00:34]Ripple standing right in the middle of all of it. Real quick before we get into it, if you're on your phone right now, swipe that comment section open and hit that hype button if you're liking this video. 2 seconds. All right, so let's zoom out for a minute here because the markets have been acting a little weird lately. And there's a reason for that.

[00:00:52]The US has been bombing Iran again. And this time around, they bombed pretty heavily. Then overnight almost, there's talk about possibly entering a 10-day ceasefire. So, it's bombs, then it's ceasefire talk, then it's who even knows? We're just going back and forth here, right? You want my honest take?

[00:01:12]This might just be Iran trying to manipulate things. And look at oil today. It's down purely off signals that they want to negotiate. That alone should tell you how much of this whole thing is theater. Okay, main event.

[00:01:26]Here's where the clock starts ticking on us. The Cryptoclarity Act has just 14 working days left to become law. 14 working days, guys. That's the whole runway. So, of course, this is the exact moment all the drama shows up. Eleanor Tarant put this out. New ethics clouds clarity's path to the Senate floor.

[00:01:47]Following last Thursday's meeting between Trump and the Republican senators, the White House has yet to agree on ethics parameters while industry still awaits updated bill text.

[00:01:58]Ethics parameters. Now, hold one thought in your head about Trump while you read that again. The man's a negotiator.

[00:02:05]That's the whole brand deals. So, here's what I think he's actually doing behind the curtain. He's letting the Democrats write down everything they want.

[00:02:13]Everything. Every single demand on paper. And you're going, "Wait, why would he do that?" So he can turn around and agree to all of it. Yeah, I know.

[00:02:24]Sounds backwards. Stay with me. Because even inside their own list, there's a million ways to skin a cat. Sure, he can't personally make money off of stable coins and all that. Fine. Doesn't matter. Because here's the thing, they can't put stuff in this law that touches his family members or a trust that he doesn't control. So, here's my prediction. Write it down. Seriously, you're going to see Trump come out of nowhere on this and he's going to negotiate this whole ethics thing away.

[00:02:52]And it'll be just like that. Poof. Done.

[00:02:55]And while we're on ethics, today a good day for a little reminder. You remember this one? Let me blow this thing up so you can actually see it. And look, I honestly don't know if this chart's copyrighted, so I guess we're finding out together. This is Nancy Pelosy's stock performance. Hers, she outperformed Warren Buffett over all these years. Warren Buffett beat the S&P 500, too, while she was at it. You get the picture, right? So, let me ask you something. Did any of these same senators, any of them, ever have a problem with Nancy Pelosi? No. Not one.

[00:03:30]This has nothing to do with ethics.

[00:03:32]People, ethics isn't even in their vocabulary. Unless the word Trump is attached to it, then oh, suddenly everybody's got principles. But look, it's going to get resolved and I'll tell you exactly why. This is national security. End of story. Now, Mike Novagratz, he's been making some good points about what's going on and where we are right now. Have a listen to this.

[00:03:55]There's a question about the Clarity Act or the regulatory framework. Uh I would tell you first of all, I have spent a ton of time uh in DC recently or on the phone with senators. Uh my actually son asked me if I was running for office. I told him no, no, I'm just beating all these people. Uh people have worked their tail off for 18 months on this. Uh Galaxy has been part of those conversations. Our our team Natalia down in DC is is doing an amazing job. uh our old our old guy uh Tyler Williams is working for Scott Bessant as the coordinator for the Treasury Department, but there's a whole lot of the crypto community down there and it's been a complicated story. Uh Republicans ran on being pro- crypto. They really feel like they want to get this done. Democrats are split. the bulk of the party says let's get crypto off the table so it's not an issue to talk about and let's do something good in technology for the American economy right and so I would say the centrist Democrats are all there the left wing of the Democratic party uh is seeing what is perceived to be a tremendous amount of corruption in the use of crypto from parts of the Trump family or Trump administration and they're using that to say wait a minute this just doesn't feel good and and So the last sticking point in this bill is what would be called the ethics piece of it. Can we can we get to yes and can we put at least some disclosures restrictions on the president, the vice president, congress people from issuing their own coin? Can we make sure if they have crypto it's held in blind trusts?

[00:05:38]Um and so that'll be the last bridge to cross. I personally think it'll get dunked. I don't think a group of senators has worked harder on a bill in the last 5 years. There has been so many hours burned between guys like Senator Gagos and Senator Warner and Kristen Gildebrand from here in New York. Uh you know, Senator Cortez Master on the Democratic side and on the Republican side you've had Tim Scott and who's leading leading the committee. But a a ton of uh participation.

[00:06:10]Um, I think we're going to get it done and I think it's important because that's going to unleash the next wave of trade guys coming into crypto. Uh, it's going to be a stampede and you've seen it already. There's been a couple transactions, M&A transactions done where trade fi guys are saying, "Hey, I've got to get set." And it's really set for the tokenization of stocks, the tokenization of mortgages, the tokenization of everything. it will be crypto rails wallet infrastructure staking infrastructure uh token you know security that slowly replaces uh the ex the existing infrastructure that we have and so that's happening uh and I think this clarity act is >> the XRP ledger was designed for institutional use at scale from day one XRP has always been the one always I've been saying it for years on this channel, years, and it's been obvious the whole time. These guys are connected to everybody. And let me put a finer point on that because this is the edge I've always thought Ripple had. The connections, all these people, all these major institutions. So ask yourself honestly, is it a coincidence? some happy little accident that Ripple does everything right and just keeps ending up in rooms with central bankers, the IMF, all of these mega institutions.

[00:07:34]Come on. You and I couldn't do that. You and I could not start a company and suddenly be sitting in those rooms.

[00:07:41]There's a reason they're in those rooms.

[00:07:44]They may not be an incumbent, but they're almost like a disguised incumbent. Huh? How about that? And hey, that's going to do it for today. Listen, if you got something out of this one, do me a favor. Hit subscribe, smack that like button, and go tell your friends and family about the channel so they can enjoy it, too. Appreciate every one of you. Catch you in the next one. Kellum Brown can be more cost effective than exchanges due to our pricing and fee structure. So, we just charge a transparent flat fee um on the buy, sell, or swap of assets, but that's the only fee that we'll ever charge. So, there's no custody fees. We don't have any withdrawal fees. Often at times on other platforms, you'll see hidden costs like slippage and spreads. We don't charge any of that. We charge a flat fee that's transparent and clear and identifiable from the start. And ultimately, when you factor in all those additional costs that you'll incur on other platforms, you'll find that whilst calm ground is a premium platform, our fees are quite cost effective. It could be a better solution than many other platforms. See that right there? Not talked about enough. Not even close. All right, let's swing over to old Michael Sailor because man, this one cracks me up. Just look at this. The block strategy sold $263.5 million of Master shares last week, but made no Bitcoin purchases or sales according to an SEC filing. So, they sold. Now, watch how they dress this thing up because they don't want to come right out and tell you, "Hey, we sold either Bitcoin or Micro Strategy shares." But they did. So what do they put out instead? This strategy has increased their USD reserve by 225 million.

[00:09:28]And to be fair, that's true. And their Bitcoin reserve 3.2 billion. Also true.

[00:09:35]But notice what's missing from that little press release. The part where they sold Master Shares. That's the piece they leave out. And this is exactly why the whole setup feels like a catch22 to me. I've stared at this thing, guys. It blows my mind. I still can't see the upside for these investors buying master shares or for this whole concept of just buying Bitcoin constantly. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense. It never has. Okay. Now, for the number I opened this video with, here it comes. No single blockchain can handle DTCC's four quadrillion in annual settlements according to its head of digital assets. We're working with Kant and Stellar and a few others. A few others. You catch that? And one of those few others is Ripple. And that's the fact, Jack. Four quadrillion in annual settlements. One blockchain can't carry that. So, they're picking a team. And Ripple's name is on the list. Now, there's a clip I want you to see. This is a guy. I think this guy's a Ripple exec, actually. Interesting clip. Watch.
