🚨TRUMP WANTS IT SIGNED🚨 President Trump says he wants the XRP and crypto market structure bill PASSED so he can sign it into law. This is how regulation actually happens. $XRP was never built for chaos.

$XRP holders, have you ever heard of the Athey-Mitchnick Model? 🧐 let me give you a quick lesson if you haven’t… Susan Athey (Board of Directors for Ripple Labs) and Robert Mitchnick (Current Head of Digital Assets for Blackrock, Former Ripple employee) developed this model back in 2018. The model values $XRP by analyzing its role in cross-border payments and as a store of value, projecting its fair market price based on adoption, transaction volume, and supply dynamics. By estimating future demand and the impact of a virtuous cycle—where increased adoption drives higher prices, reducing available supply as more users hold $XRP for long-term value—the model suggests XRP’s fair market value could reach significantly higher levels, such as $4,813 by 2030, compared to its current market price. This framework seeks to support institutional investment and broader adoption of cryptoassets by offering a structured approach to valuation. In other words, DONT doubt what $XRP is capable of in the near future. You’d basically be doubting the pedigree and knowledge of Athey & Mitchnick, who have more insight into what the future holds than any of us scrolling through X right now. Link for the model is in the thread 🤝

‼️Why BlackRock Is Holding Off on an XRP ETF Filing‼️ BlackRock isn’t moving on an XRP ETF yet even though XRP is one of the most in demand altcoins for an ETF.😶‍🌫️ Here’s why: 1. Short-Term Regulatory Uncertainty✅ The SEC still hasn’t fully defined whether XRP and other crypto assets are securities or commodities. Even though courts have ruled XRP isn’t a security, the SEC keeps delaying ETF decisions. Approvals are now pushed into June or October 2025. BlackRock is waiting for full regulatory clarity before making a move. 2. New Institutional Grade Derivatives✅ Big investors use futures to hedge and manage risk. Bitcoin and Ethereum have high volume CME futures. XRP launched CME futures on May 19, 2025, with 19 million dollars in volume on day one. It is a major milestone but the XRP futures market is still new. Institutions tend to wait for consistent activity and deeper liquidity before getting involved. 3. Liquidity Not Strong Enough Yet✅ XRP has strong market depth and is one of the top altcoins in that category. But ETFs require high and stable liquidity to handle large inflows and outflows. The SEC watches this closely. BlackRock may be waiting for XRP’s liquidity to mature further. 4. Focus on What Is Already Working✅ BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ether ETFs are pulling in massive inflows. Right now, BlackRock is focused on scaling what is already performing. 5. Competitive Timing✅ XRP and Solana are leading ETF application activity. BlackRock may be watching how the SEC handles these filings before jumping in. They are waiting for stronger demand and a better regulatory environment. BlackRock is simply waiting. They are waiting for clearer rules, deeper market maturity, and more sustained demand before making a calculated move.🎯 👇

What a MOMENT for my personal Bitcoin journey. Want to congratulate & thank Robert Mitchnick on the dominating success of $IBIT and its impact on the Bitcoin universe. AND for graciously inviting me to BlackRock’s beautiful New York headquarters and spending some time with me. BlackRock changed the game for Bitcoin on June 15th 2023 and continues to elevate the whole industry in my opinion. WHAT A PLEASURE - thank you again Robert for both having me and for the hard work you put in for Bitcoin. The FUTURE is BRIGHT for BITCOIN! ❤️
