XRP ETFs: A Week of Hope, Hype, and Government Shenanigans 🚀💸

by

The timing, as always, is a delicate dance of political whims and regulatory red tape. Senate leaders, with all the urgency of a drowsy clockmaker, advanced a funding package to revive the government-a gesture that promises to return furloughed SEC staff to their desks and unfreeze the bureaucratic gears. Meanwhile, the DTCC’s roster gleams with hopeful applicants: Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, 21Shares, Franklin-all poised like impatient suitors, their CUSIPs and symbols polished but their approvals still a mystery. The DTCC’s disclaimer, however, is a weary librarian reminding patrons that just because a book is on the shelf doesn’t mean it’s checked in. 📚

It’s interesting to think about where he’d take the character now.

Okay, so I was reading on the BBC about this crazy find – a bottle of Allsopp’s Arctic Ale from way back in 1875! Apparently, it was brewed in Burton upon Trent, England, specifically for Sir George Nares’ expedition to the North Pole. The really cool part? They made it to survive the insane cold up there. It was about 9% alcohol and packed six times the calories of normal beer – basically, it was designed to keep those sailors fueled and warm in freezing temperatures. Pretty neat piece of history, right?
