The crypto timeline went absolutely wild today after the official Solana account posted a single number: “589.”
No caption.
No explanation.
Nothing else.
Just 589 one of the most iconic memes in $XRP history and instantly, the entire space exploded with reactions.
For anyone new here:
589 refers to the famous, fake “Simpsons” screenshot predicting XRP will hit $589 by the end of the year. It became one of the biggest memes in the XRP community, symbolizing extreme price predictions and endless hopium.
So for Solana to post it randomly… with zero context… was basically a nuclear-level troll.
And the timing makes it even spicier.
This post came right after several major events:
❌ Western Union chose Solana as its blockchain partner — not XRP
❌ XRP maxis were claiming Ripple is “operating at a higher level”
❌ Solana responded earlier saying “We’re not on the same level”
❌ Institutions like Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and BlackRock continue to praise Solana’s speed, reliability, and infrastructure
❌ Solana ecosystem activity, stablecoin volume, and developer growth are all hitting new highs in 2025
With all this momentum behind Solana, dropping the 589 meme looked less like a joke and more like a confidence flex a way of saying:
“We’re winning… and we know it.”
The reactions across crypto were hilarious:
XRP army stunned
SOL army enjoying the show
Crypto Twitter turning the whole moment into memes within seconds
Regardless of which side you’re on, there’s no denying this was one of the boldest and most entertaining social moments of 2025.
So…
Who won this round XRP or SOL?
