🚨 JUST IN: LUMMIS TARGETS CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL DRAFT NEXT WEEK
Senator Cynthia Lummis plans to release a draft of the crypto market structure bill by the end of this week, giving both industry and lawmakers time to review before markup next week.
If passed, the bill could trigger more institutions and corporations to scale into $BTC and digital assets, accelerating adoption and accumulation.
🇺🇸 INSIGHT: James Lavish says the U.S. Treasury is pushing for rate cuts because with so much government debt in short-term T-bills, every 25bp cut reduces annual interest costs by about $25 billion.
21shares has filed for an XRP ETF with the SEC, which sounds like big news for XRP’s spot in the financial ecosystem. But before you get too excited, let’s unpack this.
The filing is a step toward institutional players getting involved in XRP, but it’s also a reminder that the crypto space still requires a lot of regulatory clean-up. This isn’t a ‘moon’ moment, it’s another brick in the long road of regulatory clarity. Keep your eyes on the fundamentals, not the hype. Institutional money takes time, and this move is part of the ‘slow burn’ process.
To be clear, this is a step forward for XRP’s institutional future, but we’re still waiting on the day it starts really shifting the global financial landscape.#Xrp🔥🔥 $XRP
🇺🇸 Senators Gillibrand and Lummis announce the complete bill draft will be released this week. Hearings and a potential vote could take place next week.
This marks the nearest the U.S. has come to actual crypto legislation.

MoonPay just told you the whole story… if you know how to read it.
They didn’t post “589 XRP” for fun. Brands at that level don’t do “random numbers.” That was a signal test — a distribution check — and XRP lit up the board instantly.
Then they rolled out: • Tangem integration • On/off ramps • Apple Pay • “Secure as a vault” • “Seamless buys & sells” • Purple commerce branding • Encryption messaging
This isn’t a meme. It’s positioning.
MoonPay is building the consumer rail before U.S. regulation hits.
And they’re quietly aligning with the assets that will survive the transition.

❗ Ripple files for a federally-chartered national trust bank under the OCC.
The charter would allow Ripple National Trust Bank to provide regulated digital-asset custody and fiduciary services, bringing XRP-related infrastructure directly under U.S. federal supervision.
At the same time, the CFTC launched a pilot program enabling bitcoin, stablecoins, and other digital assets to be used as collateral in regulated derivatives markets.
Together, these moves signal a more open federal stance toward integrating digital assets into the U.S. financial system.
WisdomTree’s new index fund weights XRP at **19%**.
That’s not a test position — that’s a foundational bet. Index giants don’t allocate like this unless they see asymmetric upside + regulatory inevitability.

Most people have no idea what they’re looking at… but they should.
If you’re holding any amount of crypto, you need to see this.
The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) just issued an interpretive letter confirming that national banks are now allowed to engage in riskless principal transactions involving crypto-assets.
Let me translate that into normal language:
✅ Banks can buy a crypto asset from one party ✅ Instantly resell it to another party ✅ Without ever holding inventory risk ✅ All legally sanctioned by the OCC
This means one thing:
U.S. banks now have a regulatory green light to act as intermediaries in crypto markets.
Why this matters:
– This is the exact mechanism banks use in traditional markets to scale liquidity. – It opens the door for deeper institutional flow. – It pushes crypto further into the core banking system. – And it signals that regulators aren’t trying to kill crypto, they’re trying to integrate it.
People keep waiting for “mass adoption” like it’s a single event.
In reality, it happens quietly, buried in documents like this one.
Circle this date.
This is one of those moments we’ll look back on and say:
“That’s when the door really opened.”
I called the bottom at $16k and the top at $126k, and I’ll do it again, because this is what I’m good at. Pay close attention.
