A crypto researcher’s social media post has put a spotlight on something that has been suggested: a potential path for $XRP integration into FedNow, the Federal Reserve’s instant payment system, through a technology vendor most bank customers have never heard of.

Only Tron generated enough revenue to offset its supply growth, leaving holders a net positive return of…

Open interest remains elevated and trading volume has picked up, a combination that suggests traders are actively repositioning rather than showing fresh directional conviction. That distinction matters for where price goes next. If spot demand starts backing the move and open interest keeps expanding, the current weakness could…
