On the ides of March (yes, Friday the 13th, no less), Kitao announced that SBI ARUHI, a mortgage-slinging outfit under the SBI umbrella, is now part of the XRP reward program. That’s right, folks-if you’ve got a stake in SBI ARUHI, you might just find yourself the proud owner of some XRP tokens. Who needs a gold watch when you can have a digital coin that’s as unpredictable as a Missouri weather forecast?
The aggregated taker buy/sell volume, that most sacred of metrics, reveals a curious duality: 52.35% long, 47.65% short. A mere whisper of bullish intent, yet the traders, those poor deluded wretches, fancy themselves architects of destiny. Behold Binance, OKX, and Bybit, each a cathedral of greed, their long positions towering like the spires of a cathedral built on sand. How long before the tide of reason washes their delusions away?
In a move that sounds like it’s straight out of a crypto dream, XRP has officially launched FXRP on Coinbase’s Base network. And guess what? XRP holders now have access to a DeFi ecosystem valued at a cool $4.2 billion. Impressive, right? You can thank the Base network, which ranks #4 globally by Total Value Locked (TVL) behind Ethereum, Solana, and Binance Smart Chain. So, now XRP holders can actually do something with their coins beyond just holding them and hoping. You’re welcome, I guess.
Since the Stablecoins Ordinance rolled out in August 2025, the HKMA is tightly controlling who gets to mint fiat‑backed coins. After reviewing 36 applications, it’s giving the keys to a select few.
Yet NEAR, that once-proud colt, now limps through the dust, its value more than 90% shy of its high. A 90% drawdown! Why, that’s like watching your favorite ranch hand turn into a scarecrow overnight. Still, the market whispers of new catalysts-mirage-like saviors that might lift the token or vanish like smoke in the panhandle wind.

North Korean IT operatives use stolen identities and fabricated personas to secure remote jobs at legitimate Western companies, with the government collecting the majority of their wages. Because nothing says “trust us” like a government taking your paycheck and using it to fund nukes.

This whole mess comes after the December 2025 Fusaka upgrade, which kindly lowered transaction fees. A thoughtful gesture, of course-who doesn’t like a good discount? But, as is the custom in the wild west of the internet, where there’s an opportunity, there are also those lovely ‘malicious actors’ ready to make a quick buck. And guess what they’ve been doing? Sending fraudulent transactions, obviously.
