Ah, the whales! Those leviathans of the deep, with wallets heavy as anchors, have flipped to net buying, their silent accumulation a symphony of confidence. Miners, once restless, now ease their selling, while long-term holders stand firm, their resolve as unshakable as a mountain. Yet, the retail crowd, ever skittish, trembles in fear, their Greed & Fear Index a mere 33-a timid mouse in a room of lions.
Eligible recipients-those lucky folks in the Convenience and Non-Convenience classes who’ve jumped through all the right hoops-are set to see their funds in a speedy 1 to 3 business days.

Can Ripple transform this regulatory clarity into real payment volume, or will it remain a mere footnote in social media nostalgia?
