XRP simmers in a stew of consolidation, its technicals whispering bullish secrets. The RSI, now at 54, resembles a hangover after a bender-recoiling but not defeated. Institutional flows? They swell like a symphony of greed. 🎵 Market participants watch, sipping lukewarm tea. 🫖
Glassnode, a firm dedicated to peering into the digital entrails of blockchains (one can only imagine the expense of the crystal ball), has noticed this curious phenomenon. The ‘Total Transaction Fees’ indicator, a metric of impressive verbosity, appears to be languishing. It measures, rather predictably, the fees attached to each transaction. One suspects the numbers are perfectly accurate, though the significance remains, shall we say, open to interpretation.

A cross-party herd of MPs, peers, and other barnyard thinkers penned a plea to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, arguing that the Bank of England’s rules are tightening the noose on stablecoins-those clever tokens pegged to the old-world currencies-risking a financial exodus that would leave the U.K. with naught but a humble pie chart of prosperity embarrassment. 😒

The debt, settled through Circle’s USDC, was orchestrated by the venerable Coinbase Global Inc. and Franklin Templeton, whose names are as synonymous with trust as they are with capital. 🤝

Now, these chaps aren’t your average ne’er-do-wells. They’re posing as recovery specialists, wallet engineers, and whatnot, with polished patter that’d fool your own grandmother. They’re plying their trade through direct messages, emails, and cloned profiles-dastardly clever, if you ask me. Once they’ve got a chap’s ear, they spin a yarn about urgent account recovery, all to pilfer those precious seed phrases. And let me tell you, once those keys are out, your wallet’s as secure as a sieve. 🚪🔑
