Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Celebrates XRP’s Latest Big Achievement: Details

TL;DR

  • Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, has taken to X to reshare a post from CME Group about a record posted by the company’s native cryptocurrency.
  • The community was quick to pick up the praise and ask some questions about XRP’s price and ETFs.

CryptoPotato reported last week that the XRP had become the fastest cryptocurrency to reach $1 billion in open interest on CME futures and joined the likes of BTC, ETH, and SOL in the so-called “$1 club.”

This helped the entire digital asset cohort to top $35 billion in notional open interest for the first time on August 22. CME Group’s official X account outlined the records set in August, indicating that the “crypto space was hotter” even than the temperatures during that month.

Garlinghouse, who recently issued an important warning for all XRP holders, praised the move on X, but his post was followed by some controversy.

Charley Crypto downplayed the record, asking why the underlying asset’s price has failed to make a major move in the past few weeks and is stuck below $2.9. The commentator also queried about the XRP ETFs in the US and why the SEC continues to delay making a decision.

Lastly, Charley questioned the institutional volume on the XRP Ledger, even though the network has posted some big numbers as of late and reports claim that its energy usage is rather negligable.

Others, though, were more supportive of Garlinghouse’s post, indicating that the demand for XRP is “seemingly outstripping the available supply.”

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
