On that fateful Friday, the 11th of April, our gallant Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, graced the Fox Business stage, a veritable gladiator in the arena of finance.

Garlinghouse, with a twinkle in his eye, proclaimed that the U.S. government would receive a princely sum of $50 million from Ripple, and lo! Another $50 million would find its way to the SEC. “Why not pay them in XRP?” he mused, as if suggesting one might pay for a fine meal with Monopoly money. 🍽️

Only time will tell, but for now, it basks in the green glow of prosperity at $2.14, according to the ever-reliable CoinMarketCap. 🌱

But fear not, for the intrepid sleuths at Whale Alert uncovered that the recipient wallet, “bc1qx85,” had previously held a mere $100 from Kraken. A curious case indeed! It appears this wallet may be playing a game of hide and seek with Kraken itself, suggesting that this grand transfer was merely an internal shuffle, a dance of digital coins, if you will. 💃
