X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull), a well-followed voice in the crypto community, recently highlighted an important development for XRP and its growing institutional presence. Commenting on a corporate filing, he revealed that Monex Group has increased its ownership in 3iQ, the Canadian firm behind the country’s first spot XRP ETF . His remarks reflect the rapid growth of assets managed by the company and the role XRP is playing in its strategy. BREAKING Institutions are loading $XRP exposure, aggressively Monex increased its stake in 3iQ, the same firm behind Canada’s XRP ETF. AUM? Up 39% YoY. XRP? Core to their strategy From $32M→ $50M→ $148M+ in just months Monex isn’t buying shares They’re buying $XRP future pic.twitter.com/cKwJo2MvIA — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) September 4, 2025 Monex Deepens Its Investment in 3iQ On September 4, 2025, Monex Group confirmed that it had acquired additional shares of 3iQ Digital Holdings through its wholly owned subsidiary. The filing shows Monex bought over 4.1 million shares, bringing its total to more than 12.1 million. This move raised Monex’s ownership of voting rights in 3iQ to approximately 97.8%, solidifying its control of the firm. Since Monex became the majority owner in April 2024, 3iQ has broadened its digital asset offerings, including the launch of the Solana ETF in April 2025 and the XRP ETF in June 2025. According to the filing, 3iQ’s assets under management climbed from CAD 1.085 billion at the end of June 2024 to CAD 1.51 billion a year later, reflecting a 39% increase. This growth has been closely tied to the success of its crypto products, with XRP now considered a central part of the portfolio. The XRP ETF’s Strong Early Performance 3iQ launched the XRP ETF (TSX: XRPQ) on June 18, 2025, becoming the first of its kind in North America. The ETF debuted with a management fee of 0% for the first six months, offering a unique incentive to attract investors, and from the outset, investor interest was strong. Within a few days, assets under management exceeded CAD 32 million, making it the largest XRP-focused ETF in Canada at the time. Less than a month after launch, the fund had already passed $50 million in client assets. The pace of growth has continued. As of September 3, 2025, the ETF managed over CAD 152 million ($110.3 million). This rapid rise demonstrates that institutional and retail demand for regulated XRP exposure is stronger than many expected.

The expansion of Monex’s stake in 3iQ and the surge in ETF inflows point to a growing recognition of the digital asset’s role in the broader digital asset landscape.

Jito's buyback program hit $1M but bulls are still hesitant.
The launch of the World Liberty Financial platform’s native token, WLFI, was anticipated as a significant event in the cryptocurrency market, especially with backing from the Trump family. However, just a day after its debut, the token’s price plummeted, sparking intense speculation regarding its major investors, particularly Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron blockchain. Alleged Manipulation By Justin Sun Market expert Quinten Francois provided insights into the WLFI launch, which initially priced at $0.20, reaching a market capitalization of $1 billion. Despite the excitement surrounding the launch, which generated billions in trading volume, the token’s value continued to decline. Interestingly, this downturn occurred even as the community seemed to hold onto their tokens rather than sell them. Francois speculated that exchanges might have offloaded part of their holdings, estimated at 2.8%. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The XRP Price If 10% Of Global Assets Are Tokenized Allegations have surfaced that Justin Sun engaged in dubious tactics by channeling WLFI through his exchange, HTX. He reportedly offered users a 20% annual percentage yield (APY) for depositing WLFI, allowing him to offload a significant portion of his own holdings under the guise of user staking. Allegations suggest that this maneuver not only enabled him to profit from the situation but also that he intended to cover any withdrawals or sell-offs with his own tokens, further complicating retail investors’ returns. As Bitcoinist reported on Thursday, Sun’s alleged manipulation led to the freezing of his wallet address. As a result, there is growing concern among experts that WLFI could ultimately face a trajectory toward zero. Could The WLFI Price Plummet To Zero? In a recent social media post, user OxPunisher outlined the patterns of manipulation associated with Sun, referencing his history of questionable trades between 2018 and 2020, which reportedly resulted in $31 million in illicit profits. This ongoing saga continued into 2024, when Sun withdrew $732 million worth of Bitcoin from USDD collateral, and in late 2024, he invested $30 million into WLFI just as the SEC paused his case, further raising alarms among investors. Related Reading: First US Dogecoin ETF Could Debut Next Week—How Will It Impact Price? The narrative surrounding WLFI appears precarious at best. The expert asserts that without Justin Sun’s liquidity strategies the token’s value could collapse. Moreover, without the backing of high-profile figures like President Donald Trump, the narrative that initially attracted investors may lose its momentum entirely. This situation has led OxPunisher to believe that this situation can result in panic selling and a shift toward safer investment options by the platform’s investors, which could further increase the WLFI’s sell-off and downtrend seen in the past few days.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is under fire after a recent report detailed a series of “avoidable” mistakes from the watchdog’s IT department that resulted in the loss of records linked to crypto enforcement actions during Gary Gensler’s tenure. IT ‘Oopsie’ Wipes Gensler’s Texts The SEC’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) has shared the final report detailing the findings of its review of the Office of Information Technology’s (IOT) actions that led to the loss of former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s text messages between 2022 and 2023. According to the September 3 report, the OIT implemented a “poorly understood and automated policy” in August 2023 that caused “an enterprise wipe of Gensler’s government-issued mobile device.” Seemingly, Gensler’s government-issued device was erroneously flagged as inactive and had not been backed up for nearly a year. OIT “hastily performed a factory reset,” which deleted text messages stored on the device and the device’s operating system logs between October 18, 2022, and September 6, 2023. The incident was worsened after a series of “additional OIT actions, deficiencies, and missed opportunities, including a lack of backups and procedures that failed to consider record retention requirements for Capstone officials (such as Gensler),” the report explained. The regulatory agency reportedly worked to recover or recreate the deleted text messages but was “unable to collect or determine the entire universe,” including some federal records . The review found that around 38% of the recovered text conversations were mission-related and concerned matters directly involving SEC senior staff and/or Commissioners at the time, making them records. Among the recovered messages, the SEC retrieved a May 2023 conversation involving Gensler, his staff, and the Director of the Division of Enforcement about when the SEC would file an action against certain crypto asset trading platforms and their founders. Crypto Leaders Call Out Prior SEC Leadership On Thursday, crypto industry leaders and participants commented on the previous SEC leadership’s “mistake” and the implications. Nate Geraci, chairman and president of The ETF Store, stated , “Think about everything that happened in crypto during this time. Basically FTX collapse thru Grayscale spot btc ETF lawsuit. Makes you think.” Many noted that the period of the deleted texts also overlaps with part of “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” the SEC’s enforcement actions against multiple crypto exchanges, the release of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121 (SAB 121), and anti-crypto policies from other regulatory agencies. In an X threat, Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal criticized the prior leadership for the apparent hypocrisy after “all the lecturing (…) about data preservation. All the haranguing. All the self-righteousness.” The CLO affirmed that “this isn’t some ‘oops’ moment. This was a destruction of evidence relevant to pending litigation.” The IOG report noted that the loss of the former chairman’s text messages may impact the SEC’s response to certain Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. It’s worth noting that Coinbase submitted a FOIA request in March asking how much the regulatory agency had spent on crypto-related enforcement actions. As reported by Bitcoinist, the crypto exchange sought the supporting documentation used to create the current and past annual budget and performance reports. Additionally, it inquired about the number of employees and third-party contractors who worked on these investigations and enforcement actions, and “know more about the previous SEC’s infamous ‘Crypto Assets and Cyber Unit’ within the Enforcement Division.” “We all deserve better, especially from ‘leaders’ who see fit to smear others and cast aspersions so freely,” Grewal concluded.

After a gradual increase to over $113,000 yesterday, bitcoin’s price faced immediate selling pressure and was pushed south by a few grand before it settled at around $111,000. Most larger-cap alts have failed to post any significant gains, aside from HYPE, which has jumped to over $47, and ENA, which has risen by 13%. BTC Stopped at $113.5K The primary cryptocurrency tried to break out at the end of the previous business week, but the bears were quick to intercept the move and halt it in its tracks. As such, the asset fell from $113,500 to under $107,500 within a day or so. The following 48 hours were painful as well, as bitcoin failed to recover any of the losses and marked a new multi-week low of $107,100 on September 1. The bulls finally tried to step up at this point, and after some shaky performance, drove BTC out of this local bottom to over $111,500 by Tuesday. Another rejection followed suit, but this time it was less painful, and bitcoin slipped to $109,000. The asset went on the offensive once again on Friday, surging toward $113,500 after a weak jobs report in the US. That was another short-lived rally, though, as BTC lost almost all gains immediately in a drop to $110,400, which left over $300 million in liquidations. It has calmed at around $111,000 ever since, with its market cap at just over $2.2 trillion on CG, and its dominance over the alts at 56.5%. BTCUSD. Source: TradingView M Keeps Pumping The undisputed altcoin in terms of weekly (and daily) gains is once again MemeCore, which entered the top 100 digital assets just several days ago. M has skyrocketed by 14% in the past day alone, and 200% since this time last Saturday, and now trades at $1.57 with a market cap of well over $2.6 billion. ENA follows suit, with a 13% surge that has taken it to $0.73. PUMP and HYPE are next, with 10% and 4.5%, respectively. CRO and BCH are also slightly in the green, while the rest of the larger-cap alts have remained essentially at the same levels as yesterday. The total crypto market cap has stalled at $3.910 trillion on CG. Cryptocurrency Market Overview.
