Electric vehicle manufacturer VivoPower will begin accepting payments in Ripple USD (RLUSD) – a move that strengthens the use case for XRP and supports a bullish XRP price prediction . As the native stablecoin of the XRPL ecosystem, RLUSD adds real-world utility to the network, potentially unlocking new demand from commercial transactions. $VVPR – VivoPower's Tembo to Accept Ripple USD (RLUSD) Stablecoin for Payments Partners with Doppler Finance for Institutional XRP and RLUSD Yield Programs: Maximizing Returns on Crypto Treasury Strategy Low Float/ OS near 4.5M shares 1.1% PreM/ $5.02 pic.twitter.com/Z6rUJ9G3nz — John Zidar aka/ Stock Wizard (@JohnZidar) September 8, 2025 In a press release published earlier this week, the company emphasized that this gives customers an alternative to save money on banking fees and expedites the checkout process. It also solidifies VivoPower’s alliance with Ripple as this company launched an XRP-focused treasury strategy recently that consisted of a $121 million investment in the token funded by the sale of 20 million VVPR shares. Ripple USD has been expanding its market cap rapidly since its launch in December 2024 and has already reached more than $700 million as Ripple continues to secure licenses in the Middle East and Africa to operate as a legal digital payments provider. After an 8.3% increase yesterday, shares of VVPR have also surged by another 1.3% today during the pre-market session. XRP Price Prediction: XRP Needs a Clean Break Above $3.4 to Kick Off Its Next Leg Up The daily chart shows that XRP has hit a key trend line resistance and could be getting ready for a strong breakout if bullish momentum accelerates during the rest of the week. The market is probably waiting for the release of inflation data tomorrow before making a decisive move in any direction. To confirm bullish momentum, the price would have to rip through the $3.40 resistance with strong volume. If that happens, we could witness a strong push toward $6 that would offer investors an upside potential of 99% in the near term. Meanwhile, top crypto presales like Maxi Doge ($MAXI) are turning heads, with some investors betting they could outperform even XRP this cycle. With early-stage momentum and massive upside potential, $MAXI is being positioned as a high-conviction play for those chasing the next 10x–100x breakout before the market fully catches on. Maxi Doge (MAXI) Nears $2M Raised in Record Time Maxi Doge (MAXI) isn’t here to play it safe – it’s a pure meme coin built for the “up only” degens who laugh at stop losses and live for green candles. The project has set up the Maxi Fund, a program that uses 25% of the presale cash and throws it straight into high-risk, high-reward plays. We’re talking 1000X exposure and zero room for weak hands. If the chart bleeds, the answer’s simple: load more bags. The presale’s already heating up and risk-chasers are piling in. You can still snag $MAXI before the next price jump – just head to the official Maxi Doge website , link up your wallet (e.g. Best Wallet ), and swap USDT, ETH, or use a regular bank card to invest.

In crypto, narratives often matter as much as price charts. Few moments capture this better than Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s May 2024 post , recently resurfaced by prominent community voice JackTheRippler. The post featured a framed piece of fan art hanging on Garlinghouse’s wall, styled after Banksy’s famous “Laugh Now” stencil, but with a twist that captured XRP’s ambition: “Laugh now, but one day XRP will power the world.” Garlinghouse admitted he had kept the artwork to himself for a long time, calling it “probably my all-time favorite from the XRP community.” Yet, as market momentum built in 2024, he chose to share it publicly. By doing so, he offered the community more than just art — he handed them a symbol of resilience and belief in XRP’s long-term role in the global financial system. CEO of @Ripple – Brad Garlinghouse framed the slogan “Laugh now but one day #XRP will power the world.” pic.twitter.com/Piy6bggIoG — JackTheRippler © (@RippleXrpie) September 10, 2025 From Banksy’s Satire to XRP’s Rallying Cry The slogan’s origin lies in Banksy’s “Laugh Now” series, which depicted monkeys wearing placards as a commentary on ridicule and eventual empowerment. In the XRP version, the message was repurposed to reflect the years of skepticism the token has endured. While not a genuine Banksy work, the adaptation quickly became part of XRP’s lore, symbolizing both defiance and conviction among its holders. Crypto outlets covering the post noted that Garlinghouse wasn’t flaunting a multimillion-dollar artwork but rather celebrating a piece of community creativity. That distinction elevated the framed slogan from private décor to a public emblem — an artifact of the XRP movement itself. A Community Symbol Reignited The resurfaced post triggered a wave of enthusiasm among XRP supporters. For many, the framed slogan represents more than nostalgia; it reflects a belief that XRP’s future impact will far exceed current recognition. With the Ripple–SEC case now closed and regulatory uncertainty behind it, community optimism has only grown stronger. The phrase has since appeared across social media, on merchandise, and even in digital collectibles, amplifying its symbolic power. JackTheRippler’s decision to reshare the post months later ensured that the message continues to resonate widely. In doing so, he underscored how certain cultural touchstones — whether artwork, slogans, or memes — can anchor conviction during key moments in a market cycle. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Why It Still Resonates For Garlinghouse, the framed art may have been personal, but for the XRP community, it became a rallying cry. It demonstrates how leadership in crypto extends beyond partnerships and technology; it also involves narrative. By aligning with the creativity of his supporters, Ripple’s CEO reinforced the emotional bond that has carried XRP through both challenges and triumphs. Now, with XRP positioned for broader adoption and the regulatory cloud finally lifted, the phrase feels less like satire and more like a confident prediction. Ripple has already begun scaling its influence with payment corridors, enterprise integrations, and the rollout of RLUSD, its U.S. dollar–backed stablecoin, opening the door to even greater global utility . Summarily, the words “Laugh now, but one day XRP will power the world” capture the spirit of a community that has weathered years of doubt but remains steadfast. By framing and sharing the artwork, Garlinghouse gave life to that conviction. By resurfacing it, JackTheRippler reminded the world that stories — just like technologies — can define the future. With the legal chapter closed and Ripple pushing ahead with real-world adoption, the framed slogan may no longer be a hope for “one day” but a glimpse into what is already beginning to unfold.

At Asia’s largest oil industry meeting this week, two questions framed the discussion: How much crude is China putting into its strategic petroleum reserve, and how long will that buying continue? As the world’s largest oil buyer, China’s stockpiling helps meet its needs and keeps global demand strong. More supply is set to return from OPEC+ and other producers, even as the quick rise of electric vehicles cuts into oil use. Without China’s near-term demand, many traders see a bleak outlook. But at the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference in Singapore, attendees hit a roadblock, according to Bloomberg. China keeps its SPR plans secret and long-term, so it’s hard to know how much oil it has or how fast it’s adding. Trackers make estimates, but underground storage hides the real totals. China has built coastal tanks and rock caverns to keep supplies steady and smooth prices, growing fast over the past 20 years as fuel demand rose. But details are scarce, and some oil comes from sanctioned sellers, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, adding uncertainty. Chinese inventories swell by 130 million barrels since March Antoine Halff, co-founder and chief analyst at geospatial firm Kayrros, estimates that by early September, China’s SPR stood at about 415 million barrels and commercial stocks at about 780 million barrels. He said the combined total has risen by close to 130 million barrels since late March, putting above-ground capacity use near 60.5% and leaving room for more builds. Geopolitical tensions have made energy security a top priority for Beijing. China imports over 70% of its oil, so stockpiling crude is crucial. Cheaper prices helped buying, but it’s unclear how much more they’ll add. “Today, they’re willing to stockpile and willing to increase SPR. This is a clear trend,” said Frederic Lasserre, head of research at Gunvor Group, speaking at APPEC by S&P Global Commodity Insights. He said March and April were impressive, with inventories rising about 200,000 barrels a day, helping support demand and prices. OPEC+ faces pressure to balance surplus and market share Many in Singapore expect a late-year surplus as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries restores idled output, choosing to win back market share rather than defend prices. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners have added another source of doubt to demand. All of this makes the size of any surplus hard to judge. OPEC+ can plan to add supply , but capacity issues may slow the return of barrels. Even so, Trafigura Group Chief Economist Saad Rahim said China is likely to keep buying if prices stay low. “OPEC has announced a huge amount of increases over the past few months, but a lot of those barrels have yet to really make themselves felt in the physical market,” Rahim said. Instead, he noted, Chinese tanks have been filling, while restocking elsewhere has been limited. One point drew broad agreement on and off stage: a growing electric-vehicle fleet will chip away at a core source of oil demand . That is now the defining feature of consumption trends, said Janet Kong, CEO of Hengli Petrochemical International Pte. “GDP growth is less commodity-intensive,” she said, noting that countries such as China have leapfrogged technologies like combustion engines and landline phones. “You don’t have to copy everything others did.” If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.

While the FED has been pausing interest rate cuts since January, a rate cut is now considered inevitable. At this point, it seems certain that the FED will not cut interest rates at next week's meeting. While it is unlikely that interest rates will remain unchanged, a 25 basis point cut by the FED is priced at 88.1 percent, and a 50 basis point cut is priced at 11.9 percent. While the Fed is expected to continue cutting interest rates from now on, Wells Fargo predicted that the Fed will cut interest rates five times by June 2026. Wells Fargo analysts said they expect the Fed to enter a steady easing cycle, implementing five interest rate cuts by mid-2026. The bank included the following statements in a note published on Wednesday: We expect the Fed to cut the federal funds rate by 25 basis points over its next three meetings, bringing its target range to 3.50%-3.75% by year-end. Two more quarter-point cuts are expected at the March and June meetings next year, in which case the final interest rate will be 3.00%-3.25%. “The U.S. labor market is in an unstable position in our view, and this is the primary driver of our more moderate monetary policy outlook,” Wells Fargo analysts said, noting that the more dovish outlook on Fed rate cuts is largely due to the weakening labor market. *This is not investment advice.

Ethereum risks a bloodbath before any real bounce.
The Nasdaq has filed a proposed rule change with the SEC to list tokenized stocks, marking a significant integration of blockchain technology into traditional finance (TradFi). Market experts have predicted that XRP is one of the crypto assets that stand to benefit massively from this move. Nasdaq Files To List Tokenized Stocks Nasdaq has filed with the SEC to allow investors to trade tokenized stocks on its platform. The exchange has proposed that these securities could be traded in either their traditional form, without using blockchain technology, or in their tokenized form, utilizing blockchain technology. Furthermore, the platform proposes that shares of these tokenized securities should be traded in the same order book as the traditional ones and with the same execution priority. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The XRP Price If 10% Of Global Assets Are Tokenized Meanwhile, Nasdaq proposes that the market participants who wish to clear and settle their trades will note their preference by selecting a flag that the exchange will designate for this purpose. When the market participant selects the tokenized flag, Nasdaq will then communicate this to The Depository Trust Company, which is in charge of clearing trades. This move means that blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, Solana, and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), could experience increased adoption as companies transition to tokenizing their stocks. Notably, Galaxy Digital, last week, became the first Nasdaq-listed company to tokenize its common stock on Solana. Experts such as Tom Lee have made a case for why Ethereum will be the go-to platform for companies to tokenize their stocks on. Meanwhile, Solana and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) also stand out due to their speed and cost-efficiency. Solana recently passed the Alpenglow upgrade proposal, which will reduce transaction finality. Meanwhile, the XRPL has introduced new compliance amendments, which will incentivize institutions to adopt the network. All Tokenized Assets Will “Route Through XRP” In an X post, Versan Aljarrah, the founder of Black Swan Capitalist, commented on Nasdaq’s filing to list tokenized stocks and declared that all tokenized assets will eventually route and settle through XRP as the bridge currency. He added that this means trillions in value will move on-chain, possibly through the XRP Ledger. Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors Not To Sell Their Tokens In The Next 3 Months Aljarrah reiterated that all value flows through XRP. Notably, crypto analyst Costa recently predicted that the XRP price could reach $473,214 if 10% of global assets get tokenized on the XRPL. This came as Ripple predicted that 10% of global assets will be tokenized by 2030. Ripple has so far made great strides in its tokenization push, although no notable stock has been tokenized on the XRPL as of yet. However, it is worth noting that Ondo Finance’s tokenized U.S. Treasuries fund is integrated on the XRPL. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.95, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
While the crypto market anticipates its next altcoin season, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is among the top trending coins. The project is attracting investor attention with its ambitious decentralized lending roadmap and growth potential. Mutuum Finance has had five successful presale rounds, with the sixth round currently in progress at a token price of $0.035. The investors purchasing tokens in this phase are likely to make life-changing ROI when the market erupts. The presale has had 16,150 participants so far and has collected more than $15.5 million in capital. Mutuum Finance can transform a modest $500 investment into $25,000 as Solana (SOL) consolidates. Solana Trades Above $207 as Institutional Interest Grows Solana (SOL) is exchanging hands at $207.75, trading above the $200 level as demand from investors remains strong. Over $770 million worth of SOL has been withdrawn from exchanges in the last few weeks, indicating accumulation for potential market action. Analysts point to the next resistance level at $218–$220, with the probable target area of $254–$320 if bullish momentum is sustained. Institutional participation is increasing on the back of Nasdaq’s recent support of Solana-based strategy. Meanwhile, rising newcomers like Mutuum Finance (MUTM) are building competition. Mutuum Finance Launches $50,000 Bug Bounty Program Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has joined forces with CertiK to start a Bug Bounty Program for security experts, researchers, and developers. This program encourages people to find and report any security flaws on the platform. Rewards depend on how serious each issue is, ranging from small problems to major vulnerabilities. The total reward is $50,000 in USDT. This kind of program helps keep the platform safe, protects users, and builds trust with investors. Along with the bug bounty, Mutuum Finance is also running a $100,000 giveaway to attract early investors, grow the user base, and make the community more active. By participating, you could be among the 10 expected to win a $10,000 MUTM reward each. Managing Market Risk, Volatility, and Liquidity Mutuum Finance uses liquidation rules and limits to manage risk and keep the system stable when there’s not enough liquidity. Market volatility directly affects how careful or bold the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios and liquidation limits are set. If the market moves a lot, the system becomes more cautious, which means stronger controls and a more aggressive approach to risk. In times of low volatility, the system can be more flexible and stable. Risk levels also influence how much of the reserve funds are used, helping the platform stay secure and functional during different market situations. Building a Secure and Community-Driven DeFi Ecosystem Mutuum Finance is committed not only to developing a safe and scalable DeFi platform but to creating an active, community-involving ecosystem as well. Through its presale and ongoing campaigns, MUTM has launched a series of programs for rewarding users, involving investors, and providing long-term project stability. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is one of the top altcoins to invest in, with the potential to yield a return of flipping $500 into $25,000. Presale phase 6 tokens at $0.035, 16,150 members, and $15.5M in funds raised demonstrate high demand. $50K CertiK bug bounty, $100K community giveaway, and robust risk management through dynamic LTVs and liquidation controls are strong project features. Although Solana (SOL) is holding steady at $207, MUTM’s sound high-growth DeFi foundation, dual lending models, and community-driven focus position it as the best choice for early adopters. Lock in Stage 6 tokens today before the price increases in Stage 7.
