The DeFi sector in this market is still absolutely massive regardless of the downtrend that we are experiencing. What I find very interesting about the DeFi side of this market though is that most of the top tier DeFi projects are not even listed in this category. Like for an example, I do think that Ethereum deserves to be in the DeFi category. I also think that Hideera deserves to be in the DeFi category.Now, those two are not and I'm sure that there's many more. Um, but this is still a massive piece of t ...

One thing that I have always stressed when it comes back to XRP because again I'm not biased when it comes to XRP is the fact that the DeFi side of the XRP ledger is extremely lacking. We only have 70 almost $8 million tied back to DeFi on the XRP ledger. And if we're thinking about, you know, an old coin that has well over 100 plus billion dollars in market cap tied back to it, you would think that the underlying network would have a lot more value in terms of TVL tied to it.But no, we don't. What's crazy ...

If you guys have been watching some of the recent Hyera videos on the channel, then you already know that I have been watching this overall trend line to be retested yet again this week. Uh we have been holding this trend line so far. Obviously, if we lose this trend, it's not going to be a pretty sight on this overall chart.And that's why we're really kind of focused on this. Now, initially, my main focus was always the highs going all the way back to like March of 2024. Uh, for those that know about March ...

By the time that this video does go live, Ripple Swell would have already have ended. However, I do want to put a spotlight on a few things. Number one, I did see a post over the last couple days that came up on my timeline, and it was from Paul Baron.Now, going off of this post, we do have a breakdown of just the power on the stage at Ripple Swell. We have Ripple SW 2025 speaker lineup tells you everything about Ripple strategy. November 4th through the 5th in New York City isn't just another crypto confer ...

Over the last couple weeks, we have been studying what Ripple is doing with a lot of these acquisitions. We've been talking about the big plan behind all of this. We've addressed recently the $1 billion buy of XRP that Ripple was putting together, which we also said, hey, this is going to lead to Ripple doing something pretty big with XRP.They have big plans with XRP. Now, we know exactly what their plans are. We're going to talk about it. We're going to address this.Uh we are also going to go over a few th ...

We recently talked about the big acquisition that Ripple just made with, of course, G Treasury. This is definitely a big one and it highlights a lot of things about what Ripple is really focused on. However, I really do think that this acquisition with the recent announcement from Ripple as well is leading us to really coming to the conclusion that Ripple has a massive plan building behind XRP. This entire year, Ripple has been telling us one thing. Institutional grade adoption is coming. Institutional DeFi ...

Tokenization on the XRP ledger has been heating up all year long with major announcements and developments happening to ensure that the XRP ledger is becoming a crucial piece of the onchain economy. When it comes to the XRP ledger, right now we have over $364 million tied to tokenized value. This is up about 13% in the last 30 days.And then on top of that, stable coin value also up 38% at about $277.5% million. We've been watching these stats extremely close because again when it comes to tokenization, we k ...
