Now today we are back with another market update. We're going to talk about XRP being a $100 trillion monster today, and that might sound crazy to you, but we're going to break down how that could happen if you watch until the end of the video. We also have some crazy HBAR stuff. We're going to talk Stellar. We're going to start, uh, talk XDC and much, much more. Uh, so I am very happy to say that you guys did crush that 1,000 like goal on the previous video. So that means when you're watching this, all you got to do is join the Gold Squad Discord, and in that free crypto section, uh, of our Discord, there will be a 100 XRP giveaway waiting for you. And the best part is the only requirements are to click this button. You don't have to follow nobody, you don't have to do nothing. All you got to do is, is drop a like. You do have to subscribe though, turn on your notifications, uh, and drop a comment. So today, yeah, we've got a jam-packed video. Um, let's hop right into it. First things first, we're running another giveaway for an Arculus wallet. This is that very, very clean, uh, card. It's a, it's a metal credit card-shaped hardware wallet. I've personally replaced my Ledger, uh, with Arculus, and they are sponsoring our channels. So this is a nice little giveaway you guys can enter. I will leave the link to that in the description. Now let's get into the juice, the meat here, folks. Bitcoin is down below $30K still. Uh, biggest gainer today, we got Aptos, Chainlink, OKB. You guys know I'm a big fan of Chainlink, big holder of Chainlink as well. Uh, XRP 2% today, not too bad. We've still had a great 30 days. Uh, you know, you'd never see that in the stock market in most stocks, right? 38% in 30 days is amazing. Uh, as for our biggest loser today, Mantle. Never heard of that, looks kind of interesting. We've got XDC retracing a little bit. We've got Casper on discount for all of you. Um, our Casper validator node has been going amazing. Uh, we have 288 people making passive income while they dream and sleep at night. So that is amazing to see. We've almost made people $5,000 in passive income, uh, so far. But big bullish on Casper, folks. Now let's keep it moving into the news today. Not much to say about the market. You know, we're still above $1 trillion, which is a very good sign. We haven't taken that dip below yet. Uh, do I expect one to come? It's very possible. And if that does happen, that exposes how weak the market really is, uh, to me at least. Okay, we had some big fake news come out in the XRP community today. Uh, this screenshot of an SEC article saying that they decided not to appeal the Ripple case. So there's this huge belief that the SEC is going to file an appeal for the Ripple case and they're going to, you know, redo it and all of this BS. But this, uh, this circulated last night, um, and this has been exposed to be fake. Uh, now Jeremy Hogan, the lawyer that's been covering the XRP case on Twitter He said if the SEC is going to file an interlocutory appeal, I would expect it to be filed this week. Now keep in mind, you know, Jeremy Hogan has— was predicting the lawsuit to be over like 4 or 5 different times, and they were wrong. So if there's not an appeal this week, you know, I, I, um, I don't doubt that it will come the next week or something, you know. Just because an appeal isn't filed this week, uh, doesn't mean it can't be filed next week, right? So this is a great summary. Shout out to Bearable Bull for this. Uh, in the past few months we've had XRP deemed a non-security, ISO 20022 went live, FedNow went live, there's 5 CBDCs, uh, being built on Ripple's platform, we have BRICS building an alternative currency to the dollar, Ripple joined ISDA. A Bitcoin ETF application was filed by BlackRock. PayPal launched a stablecoin on Ethereum. Congress is prepping crypto bills. And the digital dollar pilot is complete. XRP will take center stage when it's time. Okay, great summary. 10 different things that have happened that are just like showing you the progress that's happening in the overall market and related to XRP. Now there is an FBI investigation being called, uh, or it's being said that there should be an FBI investigation into the Hinman emails. Uh, this is Bill Hinman who gave that speech on Ethereum. Um, and you know, Stuart Altshuler right here, who's the chief legal officer at Ripple, is basically, you know, calling the FBI, um, to go and investigate into Bill Hinman. So is there going to be an FBI investigation? Who knows, bro? Who knows? But that, that would be very, very crazy. Now let's talk about this $100 trillion, uh, XRP title that we have on this video. So basically Ripple joined ISDA, right? So Mr. Mann right here is saying now— and, and ISDA, uh, has to do with derivatives. Uh, Mr. Man is saying, now that Ripple has entered the derivative space, here is a potential outlook on what the value of XRP would be if it captured 10% only of the derivatives market. Okay, so this is the— this is the market cap and pricing on XRP if it captured 10% of the derivatives market. Okay, assuming that XRP processes 10% of the derivatives market which is estimated to be over 1 quadrillion in notional value, we can calculate the following: 10% of 1 quadrillion is 100 trillion. If XRP processes 100 trillion and its current market cap is $35 billion, then the market cap of XRP would need to increase by approximately 2,865 times. Now, this is extremely dumb. Okay, this is actually a very dumb thing to say, right? Market cap has nothing to do with it, right? Like, if $100 trillion flows through XRP, that doesn't necessarily increase its market cap. Market cap does not mean how much money is flowing through the coin, right? That's not what market cap means, and people don't understand that. You need to look at volume, okay? The biggest volume that's being done on the entire market is actually Tether. Tether is the number one volume right now as of today, then Bitcoin, ETH, USDC, TrueUSD, and XRP. So Bitcoin, ETH, and XRP doing the most volume aside from stablecoins. And this is what I'm trying to tell you, bro. Everybody, all the OGs of crypto know that the, the top 3 kings of crypto are Bitcoin, ETH, and XRP. Not Litecoin, none of this Cardano bullshit. Uh, not hating on Cardano, I'm actually pretty much a fan of it now. None of this Dogecoin, Polygon stuff, bro. The kings are Bitcoin, ETH, and XRP. Everyone knows that. That's why the SEC looked at Bitcoin and said Well, we can't sue this. Who is there to sue? Satoshi's anonymous. There's no Bitcoin team. We can't sue anything. There's no company, right? Then they looked at Ethereum. Bill Hinman gave his speech and gave Ethereum the free pass. Then who did they look at next? Who did they look at next? I can tell you it wasn't BNB. It wasn't Dogecoin. It wasn't Cardano. It wasn't Solana. They looked at XRP next. Because they know XRP is the third king of the market. Now let's get back into this calculation, uh, which I just said was actually very dumb, right? This part of it. So it says, using the current price of XRP, which is 66 cents, we can estimate the potential price of XRP if it were to process 10% of the derivatives market. So 66 cents times 2,865 puts the XRP price at $1.8K. Okay, $1,800 per XRP if they captured 10%. Now this actually doesn't make sense, right? This actually doesn't make sense. The real question is, can XRP process $1 trillion or $100 trillion worth of value while staying at a low price? Can it do that? And if it can, that's extremely bearish. Okay, so for example, right, there's only— oh, there's only 52 billion XRP in circulation. So if XRP was $1, like, the whole thing would be worth— every XRP on Earth would only be worth $52 billion, right? To buy every XRP coin on Earth So does that mean that you could only transact $52 billion worth of value? What if a bank wants to send, um, or what if all banks at the same time want to send a value of, you know, $5 trillion? Like, think about that, right? So if we put $5 trillion in, right, so that's $500 million, that's $5 billion, that's $50 billion, that's $500 billion. That's $5 trillion divided by the total supply of— or the total circulating supply right now of XRP, uh, which this might not be an accurate thing to do, but that would make it $94. Um, we, we could take $100 billion, right? Um, so how can I view the history right here? Uh, I can't. Okay, let's, let's, um, let's do one more calculation. Okay, that's $500 million, $5 billion, $50 billion, $500 billion, $5 trillion. Divided by if all XRP were in circulation. Okay, so boom, it would make it $50. It would make it $50, right, if they wanted to do that. Now, I don't know if these calculations are actually making sense. All I do know though is that, you know, this— the whole market cap thing is very dumb in my opinion, but those calculations make me bullish on XRP, right? Uh, just knowing that they've now stepped into the derivatives market is extremely, extremely bullish. Now let's keep it moving. Props to PayPal: this super fast and affordable payments network is ready when you are. So we know that, um, PayPal launched their stablecoin on Ethereum, and Stellar wants some of that action, folks. They— Stellar wants uh, that stablecoin to also be on the Stellar network. So, you know, we're going to talk about this a bit later into the video, uh, even more. Just wanted to throw that in there. Uh, now let's talk about HBAR because we're getting a nice run-up, uh, for HBAR. If we go to the daily, like, we are doing well on HBAR. Uh, we peaked out around 6.3 and it looks like we might dip below that 6 cents right now. Um, but you know, this is pretty crazy. Like, top, top, top. Are we gonna come down and, you know, use our previous top as support here? So should we short HBAR right now? You know, I don't know. Maybe they have some big announcements coming, uh, in the coming weeks. However, what we can see right now is that their social engagement on HBAR has skyrocketed. Uh, shout out to Lunar Crush for this data. Karate Combat token was also pumping the other day, but the social engagement's up. And now look at this, this is great. HBAR has just appointed the former White House open source expert as their chief open source officer. So they made up a new position of chief open source officer. Uh, and Andrew Eitkin is who they appointed to do that, and this is a former White House open source expert. Absolutely amazing, uh, news right here. HBAR just continues to build the most established team and partners of all time. Now let's keep it moving right here. Uh, this tweet is from my beautiful girlfriend Meg BZK, who also makes crypto videos. Go subscribe to her channel, Meg BZK. MEGBZK. She showed the other day that, you know, XDC has been pumping a lot, right? Like, let's take a look at XDC. Look at that. Oh wow, that hit my line somewhere. I had this line placed very weird. Why did I place that line there? That's very weird. But I haven't checked this chart in for a very long time, but this has apparently hit my line perfectly. Okay, interesting. I should have shorted there, uh, but you know, she showed that on CoinGecko they have a very, very, um, dope category where you can actually see the XDC, um, ecosystem. So if we type in XDC ecosystem, you can actually see all the coins that are in there. She also showed in her video, uh, before that you can— there's a, there's a, a category called a top alleged SEC securities. So you can see which, which coins have been accused of being a security by the, uh, the SEC. Very crazy. Now let's keep it moving here. Uh, let's actually skip over that, man. Let's get into talking more about PayPal. So PayPal stablecoin is actually a registered security. Okay, with the SEC. Um, now let's talk about security tokens. Uh, one of the, the projects that I am an advisor for is USP. Okay, USP is the real estate project. We've talked about this in the previous videos, but I actually wanted to show you their chart. So right now it is trading 30 cents under its book value, 30 to 40 cents. So if you're an international investor you know, this could be a great entry for you if you want to get involved with USP. I am not a financial advisor. I'm not encouraging you to, to buy things. I'm simply telling you what I am involved with as an advisor, and I do hold a lot of the USP token. And what that gives you is fractional ownership of a $25 million real estate portfolio. So I urge you all to go and check out USP, keep up with their Spaces as well. They're also posting very nice content on, you know, there's a debt management one, a thread right there, uh, and other stuff about security tokens. So, you know, the only other security token I've really talked about was INX, uh, as one that I'm actually bullish on, but USP is— I'm even more bullish on USP than INX. Um, so, you know, this, this is an ambitious project they're building right here, but if you look into it, everything is there to create a successful project. So go check out USP, big shout out to them. Um, and, you know, you do have to be an accredited investor, uh, to get involved with this. However, they are on LBank and Digifinex, uh, right there. And, you know, the chart looks like this because there's lower volume here. Um, So go, go check out Digifinex and LBank for USP. It is on there. Now, my top 3 favorite enterprise-grade blockchains: Corium, HBAR, and Constellation DAG. I have not mentioned Constellation in a while, uh, but I did say which ones are missing right here. Um, you know, Casper, of course. Corium is there. Um, you're missing Casper. Yeah, Casper is definitely, uh, one of the ones that I was missing on this list. Now, if you guys don't understand Twitter, right, this is a Twitter engagement post right here where you put 3 and you clearly leave out 1, and then a bunch of people reply. Uh, so, you know, Casper obviously is one of my favorite enterprise-grade blockchains. Um, but let's zoom in on Corium. Corium is a sponsor of the channel. Uh, we were just talking a lot about Corium inside of our Discord here. Some people getting a lot more acquainted to Corium, enterprise-grade blockchain, one of the most slept on in the whole ISO 20022 movement. They are standardizing EGB networks, and we do run that Corium validator node as well, which we have 88 stakers right now. If we go to here, you can see currently that there 44 active validators. Um, here is the Gold Squad one. We actually have 87, sorry, not 88. Uh, but there's the validators. You can see, uh, them confirming blocks, uh, right here and validating transactions. Uh, currently I believe, uh, the— what's the APR? 30% right now. Wow. So 30% APR right now if you stake with a validator. And basically there's a big— excuse me— proposal going on, uh, for, uh, an upgrade to the network. Uh, if we go down here— oh, by the way, they're sponsoring ETH Toronto. Unfortunately, I will not be at ETH Toronto, but they are sponsoring it. Um, Corium version 2 proposal empowered by IBC, which is the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol. And this gets really, really technical here, but you guys can look into IBC if you would like. But go vote, uh, go vote with your quorum, um, to, you know, push this proposal, push this proposal through. If we click on their link, you can see the actual software upgrade proposal right here, um, and see— oh, it was passed as well. I'm not, I'm not sure, um, when that was, but That is the updates for Coreum. Uh, thank you to them for sponsoring the channel. Make sure you drop a like and comment. That is all we've got for the video. Join the Gold Squad Discord, and goodbye.
