The numbers, as ever, tell a story of hubris and disillusionment. Having sold 89,611 shares, Granite’s remaining stake of 170,335 shares clings to a market value of $17.9 million like a desperate guest at a fading soiree. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 continues its inexorable march upward, leaving Agilysys’s 4.2% annual gain in the dust-a performance so lackluster it might prompt even the most stoic investor to reach for the brandy decanter.
In 2017-2018, XRP went from $0.097 to $3.84 in roughly three months. In 2021, it hopped from $0.45 to $1.90 in two months. Egrag, with the confidence of a guy who’s definitely not a wizard, says this time it’ll be four to six weeks. His target? A 300%-1,400% surge to $10-$37. That’s enough to turn your morning coffee into a Lamborghini… or maybe just a really nice toaster.
While XRP stands brave, like an old soldier in a sea of chaos, it’s noticeably lagging behind more flamboyant rivals. According to the wise ones-oh, the analysts-a mere four times the ROI for AI tokens compared to our dear, earnest XRP. Yes, the allure of quick riches and meme-induced euphoria pulls capital with the force of a caffeinated toddler. Meanwhile, on-chain whispers tell us that whales-those mythical creatures-are less active, their massive fins perhaps too busy swimming in other, more lucrative pools.
This madness follows the 2022 crypto law, which was basically a half-baked idea that needed four public consultations (read: a game show where people voted for their favorite rules). Now, in 2026 (which is basically next Tuesday if time is a flat circle), we’ll get to see these genius regulations in action. 🚨
According to the Financial Times, Sethi’s not just blowing smoke. He claims the U.K’s cautious approach to crypto is like putting a speed bump on a highway-it slows everyone down. 🛣️🚧 The pop-ups on crypto websites, he says, are as cheerful as a dwarf with a hangover, warning users they’re about to “die” if they proceed. 💀💻
The hottest of whispers amidst the high-tech haunts is that a singularly cunning entity, employing the clever sleight of an extra-ordinary 14,000 cyber connections, has absconded with over 60% of aPriori’s airdrop-a feat akin to a Gallagher Brothers act in a windstorm, dazzling, yet improbable.
The blockchain wizards at Polygon and Anq, with their heads stuffed full of ideas and their pockets jingling with digital dreams, recently had a chinwag with a rather important chap in New Delhi. Sanjeev Sanyal, a bigwig on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Economic Advisory Council, lent them his ear. Their natter? Tokenization and government-backed stablecoins, of course! India’s dipping its toes into the digital finance puddle, and it’s making quite the splash. 🌊💼
According to the Ministry of Finance and Dubai Finance (departments with names so ambitious they might as well be filing their own CBDCs), this was a test run using the mBridge platform. A name that, if spoken in a desert wind, might cause camels to weep with nostalgia for the bygone era of sand and silver.
The community, ever cheerful and optimistic, thought it was a bull parade, while a few skeptics merely shrugged and yawned. Broader trends? Just your typical bullish excitement wrapped in a shiny package. 🥳
Rumor has it, the ticker-brace yourselves-will be XRPC, because who doesn’t love some punk rock in finance? Once Nasdaq gives the thumbs-up and the waiting game plays out, expect the trading floor to go nuts. So far, the earnestly optimistic are eyeing a miracle date of November 13. But hey, with SEC and Nasdaq’s mood swings, don’t hold your breath-unless you like to meditate in line.
