ETF managers now cradle over $687 million in assets, a sum representing just north of 300 million XRP on record. 21Shares, ever the modest newcomer, arrived with a $500,000 seed basket and the audacity to charge a 0.50% management fee. The competition among issuers promises to reveal, with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, just how desperately these funds intend to hoard XRP in the long term.
I just finished the first season of The Chair Company and wow, it was a ride! It finally gave us some answers to things that had been building up, but honestly, it left me with even more questions.

Stranger Things showed that science fiction can work beautifully when combined with stories about growing up, offering both exciting thrills and genuine emotional moments – something few shows do as well. But its popularity isn’t just about the sci-fi elements. The series also draws heavily from the horror genre, using scary creatures, supernatural threats, and a creepy atmosphere to build suspense.
KFC Italy has teamed up with the popular anime series Dragon Ball to create a special menu. To announce the collaboration, they featured Claudio Moneta, the Italian voice of Goku, in their first ad. Instead of simply narrating, Moneta powerfully shouted “Kamehameha!” as the new *Dragon Ball Zthemed menu items were shown off.
I don’t think The Sopranos actually created the antihero – there were plenty before Tony Soprano, and lots more after. But I do believe it kicked off a whole new wave of TV. It really changed things and paved the way for so many of the complex characters we see on television today.
