A debate over XRP supply constraints has emerged among cryptocurrency market participants following circulation of exchange balance data and claims that exchange-traded funds are rapidly depleting available liquidity. 🤯

Ethereum (ETH), that fickle siren of the crypto seas, has witnessed its staking inflows surpass exits for the first time in six months. The Ethereum Validator Queue, that silent sentinel, bears witness to this tectonic shift as 2025 limps to its close. 🌌

Touching upon this curious transition, the NFT landscape over the past annum has seen a gradual decline, plodding along with barely a ripple here and there. The curiosity lies in the concentrated haunts of remaining volumes, flickering like lonely lanterns in a pitch-black night. OpenSea and Blur now dominate like old-league overlords, while smaller outposts have faded as quickly as a grin on the face of a knucklehead kid.

The so-called ‘market’ – a swirling vortex of digital promises and fleeting hopes – exhibits a distinct lethargy. A stillness that ought to trouble even the most hardened gambler. Stablecoins, those pallid imitations of real currency, cling to their market capitalization with the tenacity of barnacles on a shipwreck. A stagnation, you see, is not merely a pause, but a prelude.

One widely shared post came from @unknowDLT, who wrote on Dec. 27: “XRP ETFs are absorbing supply fast. With only ~1.5B XRP left on exchanges and ~750M absorbed in weeks, a supply shock is likely by early 2026.” The account tied that thesis to the “Clarity Act,” arguing it would “forc[e] price discovery” and position 2026 as the moment XRP shifts “from speculation to global liquidity infrastructure.” How very poetic. One wonders if the Clarity Act is also a poet.
