Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: Everyone's going to be diving into some Ripple news today.
- 0:10Speaker 1: This is some amazing stuff for the market. It's why
- 0:13Speaker 1: we are seeing a little bit of a pump. My
- 0:15Speaker 1: name is Paul Baron. Welcome back into tech path. I'm
- 0:18Speaker 1: calling in remote today of course here on Valentine's Day,
- 0:20Speaker 1: just for you guys. But there is so much news happening.
- 0:24Speaker 1: We're going to get to all of that. I do
- 0:25Speaker 1: want to thank our sponsor today. And when you think
- 0:27Speaker 1: about not only Ripple, you got to think about Uphold,
- 0:30Speaker 1: and that is one of the best places to hold
- 0:32Speaker 1: your XRP. You can discover crypto better. Uphold is the
- 0:36Speaker 1: platform discover new and important tokens on a daily basis,
- 0:40Speaker 1: and all you have to do is use our link
- 0:41Speaker 1: to get started. It's a very simple, one step trading process,
- 0:45Speaker 1: probably the easiest way to buy and sell cryptocurrency out there.
- 0:48Speaker 1: So if you're brand new to crypto, this is the
- 0:51Speaker 1: place for you, guys. All Right, the market is moving today,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and of course some of the things that are happening.
- 0:56Speaker 1: You've got to take a look at what's going on
- 0:58Speaker 1: with XRP up thirty teen percent right now, so pretty significant.
- 1:03Speaker 1: And when you look at the trending tokens. One of
- 1:05Speaker 1: the other things right there. Guess who is in there.
- 1:08Speaker 1: We've got XRP number two above trump tokens, So very
- 1:13Speaker 1: hot market right now. Lots going on within the XRP community.
- 1:18Speaker 1: One of the things is around the DeFi side of things,
- 1:21Speaker 1: and on the DeFi side of things, there are a
- 1:24Speaker 1: few things that are big that are happening. One of
- 1:26Speaker 1: the things that's happening here, this is just a tweet
- 1:29Speaker 1: out there on topper Finance getting ready for XRP five
- 1:32Speaker 1: early access. This is where they did their batch one.
- 1:36Speaker 1: It literally ran up in no time. And of course
- 1:40Speaker 1: I think they're going to go ahead and do a
- 1:41Speaker 1: batch too as well. But I want to go to
- 1:43Speaker 1: a clip real quick that will give you a little
- 1:45Speaker 1: bit more of the teaser here. So take a look.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Here's the tweet right here from Doppler Finance. First of all,
- 2:10Speaker 1: I'm surprised, they said, surprisingly, but they reached their two
- 2:13Speaker 1: hundred thousand XRP immediately after going live, so there was
- 2:16Speaker 1: a lot of pent up demand on people that are
- 2:19Speaker 1: holding XRP to look for yield. And that is the
- 2:23Speaker 1: thing that I think a lot of people miss just
- 2:25Speaker 1: how big this community is and the fact that we're
- 2:29Speaker 1: literally waiting on an area that could really open up,
- 2:32Speaker 1: I think for the very first time, a huge opportunity
- 2:35Speaker 1: in DFI. You can kind of see some key things here.
- 2:38Speaker 1: The TVL of course that maxed out. You've got the
- 2:42Speaker 1: three x boost right now, so that of course is
- 2:44Speaker 1: going to be huge. Notice you've got deposit lending and
- 2:47Speaker 1: liquid staking all available on XRP five. So this is
- 2:50Speaker 1: coming very fast. And this is where they were saying,
- 2:53Speaker 1: do the massive interest in batch one, we decided to
- 2:57Speaker 1: launch Batch two, so this is coming soon. Look at
- 2:59Speaker 1: the market cap right here of XRP. Let me zoom
- 3:02Speaker 1: in on that, and it's growing by the minute right now.
- 3:04Speaker 1: But right there's your market one hundred and sixty billion
- 3:07Speaker 1: that potentially could be looking at inflows or looking for
- 3:10Speaker 1: something out there to basically get to revenue generation, and
- 3:14Speaker 1: I think it's starting to show obviously in today's numbers.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Some other things you have to look at is where
- 3:21Speaker 1: and how much of XRP is being traded. Remember this
- 3:24Speaker 1: is the only other nonproof of steak token that's traded
- 3:28Speaker 1: in the top ten, so that in itself offers more benefits.
- 3:32Speaker 1: But here, but here's Coinbase's earnings that XRP is the
- 3:35Speaker 1: number two token right now being traded on coinbase. This
- 3:40Speaker 1: is ahead of Ethereum and Salona both. So when you
- 3:43Speaker 1: look at coin market cap, here's some of the things
- 3:46Speaker 1: you got to look at. First of all, Tether, yeah,
- 3:49Speaker 1: of course USDC, Yes, even die which is available almost everywhere.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Then you have Ripple coming in, So this is going
- 3:58Speaker 1: to explode in terms terms of adoption, and I think
- 4:02Speaker 1: also just in general volume is going to absolutely go
- 4:06Speaker 1: nuts with not only DeFi but also the opportunity of
- 4:08Speaker 1: what r l USD will be doing in a very
- 4:11Speaker 1: short period of time. All Right, So what you're looking
- 4:13Speaker 1: at here shows you how XRP and r l USD
- 4:16Speaker 1: is being used. So it goes right through toperi FI
- 4:18Speaker 1: and it goes both into stable coin and into centralized
- 4:23Speaker 1: and then also bridging into stable coin and on chain DeFi.
- 4:27Speaker 1: So basically you're getting on chain yields as well as
- 4:30Speaker 1: central DeFi yields. So now there are some other things
- 4:35Speaker 1: that could correlate to this. One is Root network and
- 4:38Speaker 1: you guys you've heard us talk about We've had the
- 4:40Speaker 1: Root team on here before LSD on the Root network.
- 4:44Speaker 1: This is still early stage, but the point being is
- 4:46Speaker 1: it's going to make things easier overall. So one tweet
- 4:50Speaker 1: right here from Eleanor this was a big deal because
- 4:53Speaker 1: the SEC now has acknowledged Gray Scales nineteen B four application.
- 4:58Speaker 1: This is going to convert XRP trust to an ETF.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Another tweet from Eleanor right here, we should give a
- 5:04Speaker 1: better idea before Coinbase stands with us today. SEC's deadline
- 5:09Speaker 1: is to respond to the company's requests for interoperatory repeal.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Remember that the Coinbase lawsuit could get actually released today.
- 5:18Speaker 1: This tweet right here kind of focuses in on the
- 5:21Speaker 1: staking side of things. And remember that this task force
- 5:25Speaker 1: is deciding discussing i should say, integrating staking into ETP.
- 5:30Speaker 1: So this could be done very quickly across a lot
- 5:33Speaker 1: of things. Any think about XRP having a new staking platform.
- 5:36Speaker 1: You look at ethereum with that opportunity as well. There's
- 5:39Speaker 1: a lot going on at the SEC right now. One
- 5:42Speaker 1: thing I want to notice on the SEC's website is
- 5:46Speaker 1: this whole list here. So this is a very critical
- 5:50Speaker 1: website right now because it most likely will be the
- 5:53Speaker 1: place where meeting logs are transmitted based on their meetings
- 5:57Speaker 1: with Ripple and or other coinbase, et cetera. So we're
- 6:02Speaker 1: going to see potentially very quickly who they're meeting with,
- 6:05Speaker 1: and we all kind of know what's next after that.
- 6:08Speaker 1: One of the things that's been going on with El Salvador,
- 6:11Speaker 1: as you guys know, is Bookeley has now rescinded or
- 6:15Speaker 1: pulling back the status of legal tender. This is all
- 6:19Speaker 1: during an IMF loan condition that is required. And one
- 6:23Speaker 1: of the things that happened from that was this right here,
- 6:27Speaker 1: Michael Saylor now meeting with President nab Buokeley. And of
- 6:31Speaker 1: course what are they talking about. Well, I think they're
- 6:34Speaker 1: talking about don't bail on bitcoin. That's what I think
- 6:38Speaker 1: they're talking about here, don't bail on bitcoin. And if
- 6:41Speaker 1: you look at that, it gets maybe a little bit worse.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Here look at the data on this confirmation times right
- 6:48Speaker 1: now on bitcoin have worsened in twenty twenty five, reaching
- 6:51Speaker 1: an all time high of nineteen minutes per transaction. One
- 6:56Speaker 1: thing to note right here on this tweet, you know
- 6:58Speaker 1: this is a BMT having some fun with this. Obviously,
- 7:01Speaker 1: this is Jack Maler from Strike. But point being is
- 7:04Speaker 1: is that this is getting listed on some major exchanges,
- 7:08Speaker 1: so the likelihood of this taken off would be real,
- 7:12Speaker 1: So keep an eye on this one as well. All this,
- 7:14Speaker 1: of course is marking what's happening in the market sentiment
- 7:18Speaker 1: as well. First, Ledger is doing something pretty cool here.
- 7:22Speaker 1: This is coming in fifty percent now of their first
- 7:24Speaker 1: leisure fees is going to go to boosting a lot
- 7:26Speaker 1: of these projects out there so that meet certain criteria.
- 7:29Speaker 1: These are meme coins potentially, so this could cause a
- 7:32Speaker 1: little bit of a boom on the meme coin side
- 7:35Speaker 1: of things within the ecosystem. And remember in many cases,
- 7:39Speaker 1: just like Solana when it ran up to its high,
- 7:42Speaker 1: a lot of that is driven off of what's going
- 7:45Speaker 1: on within the meme coin activity. Now, this next clip
- 7:49Speaker 1: I want to cut to. This is the moon Pay CEO.
- 7:52Speaker 1: This is an unbelievable story. Guys, you don't want to
- 7:56Speaker 1: miss this. Take a look.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Trump just on the meme coin went to four point
- 8:00Speaker 2: six billion dollars in like an hour. We get a call.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Mona calls because our cfhoe says Winpey has the exclusive
- 8:06Speaker 2: rails and Moonshot. The volumes were just gigantic. All of
- 8:09Speaker 2: the liquidity that we use to sort of fire the
- 8:12Speaker 2: crypto to sell a crypto like was locked in black
- 8:15Speaker 2: Rock accounts in a traditional finance sort of manner. And
- 8:18Speaker 2: it's Saturday of a holiday weekend during the inauguration, so
- 8:22Speaker 2: we have no access to our capital. All of the
- 8:24Speaker 2: reserves that we have are dwindling really fast. Well, mona,
- 8:27Speaker 2: how much money do we need to raise? Does the mathagans? Honestly,
- 8:31Speaker 2: the rate that this token is growing and the demand
- 8:33Speaker 2: that we're seeing one hundred million dollars we find one
- 8:36Speaker 2: hundred million dollars by when midnight tonight. It's just we
- 8:39Speaker 2: have no access to it. So I text Mike, I'm
- 8:41Speaker 2: sorry to bother you on the weekend. Do you have
- 8:42Speaker 2: a minute to chat with how much do you need
- 8:44Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars on us? Mike goes, Okay, no problem,
- 8:47Speaker 2: let me see what I can do. Whole conversation. Two minutes,
- 8:50Speaker 2: we get a call. They can't confirm that the funds
- 8:52Speaker 2: are real because it's a Saturday and no one at
- 8:54Speaker 2: Blackrock is picking up the phone call. And so fortunately
- 8:57Speaker 2: Lindsay has Well, our chief legal officer sits on the
- 9:00Speaker 2: board of black rocks ETF. She's calling her friends at Blackrock.
- 9:03Speaker 2: We get someone who can confirm the funds. Chris Over
- 9:06Speaker 2: at Galaxy calls up and he's like, guy's hand on heart,
- 9:08Speaker 2: give me your word, though you have no means on
- 9:10Speaker 2: these funds. In the meantime, after we gave our word,
- 9:13Speaker 2: they ask Ivan to personally pledge his entire life, like
- 9:16Speaker 2: his entire personal net worth on the line for this loan.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Not even a discussion. Signs away pledges his entire life,
- 9:22Speaker 2: and he's liquidating his personal bitcoin and like sending it
- 9:24Speaker 2: to moonpay to make sure that we stay up and running.
- 9:27Speaker 2: And finally, at eleven o'clock at night, the money comes
- 9:29Speaker 2: through one hundred million dollars. I wake up at six
- 9:31Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning and I'm thinking to myself, finally
- 9:33Speaker 2: a day that I could rest. And I look at
- 9:35Speaker 2: my phone and trump point is seventy billion dollars. But
- 9:38Speaker 2: if we don't raise another sixty million dollars today, we're
- 9:41Speaker 2: going to run out of money by tomorrow morning. At
- 9:43Speaker 2: the rate that we're going, this thing is just picking up.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Just if you cook with your runout of money. What
- 9:46Speaker 2: does he mean when people try to like buy crypto
- 9:49Speaker 2: with moonpage just as sorry it doesn't work Milania's sort
- 9:51Speaker 2: of launch happened at the same time. It essentially was
- 9:53Speaker 2: the equivalent of a d DOS attack on Moonpay's like servers, right,
- 9:56Speaker 2: because it was just everything coming full force. And so
- 9:58Speaker 2: I even goes, you know who I could text? You
- 10:00Speaker 2: know who I think could come through is Brad garling House.
- 10:03Speaker 2: So I even text Brad at seven in the morning.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Brad responds immediately says no problem, And at eleven fifty
- 10:08Speaker 2: eight on Sunday, another sixty million dollars comes through, and
- 10:11Speaker 2: by Tuesday, I think around two fifty eight in the afternoon,
- 10:14Speaker 2: we paid back the entire loan. What I walked away
- 10:17Speaker 2: from was these are just two amazing individuals. If Mike
- 10:20Speaker 2: or Brad ever needed a kidney, I should be the
- 10:22Speaker 2: first call they give. I would give both of my kidneys.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Over the course of a week, we onboarded seven hundred
- 10:26Speaker 2: and fifty thousand new consumers.
- 10:29Speaker 1: All right, So, as you guys can see, first of all,
- 10:32Speaker 1: that is an unbelievable clip of what happened behind the
- 10:36Speaker 1: scenes on this So you think about this, guys. First
- 10:39Speaker 1: of all, this is Mike novagrats ow a Galaxy Digital,
- 10:42Speaker 1: and obviously Brad garling House from Ripple. First of all,
- 10:46Speaker 1: they get it, they understand how the market moves. But
- 10:49Speaker 1: we are shifting to a new paradigm in how money, finance,
- 10:55Speaker 1: and systems are going to run. And for even Blackrock
- 10:58Speaker 1: to be out of the loop over the weekend, I
- 10:59Speaker 1: think Larry Fink is looking at this and going what
- 11:03Speaker 1: happens when all of this starts to run around me
- 11:05Speaker 1: in the future. This is a big deal because it
- 11:08Speaker 1: impacted one of the biggest meme tokens and still one
- 11:11Speaker 1: of the biggest meme tokens out there on an inauguration
- 11:15Speaker 1: weekend from the Trump family. So think about that for
- 11:19Speaker 1: a second. This is pretty significant. First of all, Donald
- 11:23Speaker 1: Trump Junior comes in, he follows Ripple account. Okay, that's
- 11:26Speaker 1: a pretty big deal. But remember that Garland House single
- 11:30Speaker 1: handedly on the backside of that saved the Trump Token,
- 11:34Speaker 1: the Milania token, all of that up to seventy billion
- 11:38Speaker 1: to be able to run the market making on this.
- 11:40Speaker 1: This is a pretty big deal because it could open
- 11:42Speaker 1: up an opportunity. We all know how DC works, guys,
- 11:45Speaker 1: It's all about favors. It's all about who you know
- 11:48Speaker 1: and what have you done for them? That alone could
- 11:50Speaker 1: be a big deal as well, so keep an eye
- 11:53Speaker 1: on that. Remember, Munpei was very integral in all of
- 11:57Speaker 1: this happening, So you have to look at not only
- 12:01Speaker 1: what the actions are, but then you have to kind
- 12:03Speaker 1: of look at the narratives behind the scenes. And some
- 12:06Speaker 1: of the things that you consider with that is where
- 12:09Speaker 1: Garling has has been and where he's been is in DC.
- 12:12Speaker 1: All right, that's Tim Scott right there. Okay, everybody knows
- 12:15Speaker 1: this is the guys that are on the on the
- 12:20Speaker 1: task force with Crypto. So Tim Scott, I got Richie
- 12:23Speaker 1: Torres right there. You can obviously see there is a
- 12:26Speaker 1: lot happening. There's Stuart al already, there's a lot happening
- 12:29Speaker 1: in DC right now, and of course Garding House right
- 12:31Speaker 1: there in the middle of all of this, so pretty
- 12:35Speaker 1: big news on this tweet. Right here you can kind
- 12:37Speaker 1: of see Icot maxic Tear's BMT. He's generated to add
- 12:40Speaker 1: to Trust wallets, so again you won't have to get
- 12:43Speaker 1: into some of these Jaman wallets or others that would
- 12:46Speaker 1: be able to give you access. This is going to
- 12:47Speaker 1: be a benefit. The other thing is is you look
- 12:50Speaker 1: at how payments are being integrated into all of this.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Now Army is getting a listing, and of course this
- 12:55Speaker 1: is all talking about payments, so everything from ripple arm
- 13:00Speaker 1: me BMT who knows what's going to be available here
- 13:03Speaker 1: to actually go out and pay with some of this.
- 13:06Speaker 1: So again this circumvents what bitcoin has been trying to
- 13:09Speaker 1: do forever, and that has become a payment rail. And
- 13:12Speaker 1: it all began right here the night before the inauguration.
- 13:16Speaker 1: You guys remember that photo of course, So let me
- 13:19Speaker 1: leave with this, guys. And this is because many people
- 13:21Speaker 1: kind of shade meme coins overall, and I want you
- 13:24Speaker 1: to think about this because there's a lot of correlation
- 13:26Speaker 1: to what's going on with DraftKings right here. So they
- 13:28Speaker 1: broke their eye gaming revenue out and what it showed
- 13:32Speaker 1: was four hundred and twenty six million in revenue. This
- 13:34Speaker 1: is despite it being just in five states, so this
- 13:37Speaker 1: is eleven percent of the population. The sports betting was
- 13:40Speaker 1: eight hundred and twenty five million, so they were over
- 13:42Speaker 1: half in only five states. Okay, that was twenty five
- 13:45Speaker 1: states versus five. This is crazy because when you look
- 13:49Speaker 1: at that and have I just want you to look
- 13:51Speaker 1: at this website because this is a DraftKings casino. What
- 13:54Speaker 1: does this remind you doesn't it look like pump dot
- 13:56Speaker 1: fund or some of these other platforms out there. This
- 13:59Speaker 1: is why meme coins are culture driven, and this is
- 14:03Speaker 1: why we're going to see more and more of this,
- 14:05Speaker 1: whether it's in the Ripple ecosystem or others. The fact
- 14:09Speaker 1: is they are going to lead out a lot of
- 14:11Speaker 1: what's going on in this next bull run. So keep
- 14:13Speaker 1: an eye on all this stuff, guys. If you guys
- 14:15Speaker 1: are not part of the Diamond Circle, make sure and
- 14:17Speaker 1: get in right now. It's a great place to get
- 14:18Speaker 1: additional content. Also, by the way, if you're not in

- 14:31Speaker 1: the meme token market or which crypto assets you're starting
- 14:35Speaker 1: to go into right now. Anyway, catch me out there
