Rumors linking Apple to a massive XRP purchase are circulating rapidly through the cryptocurrency community. A post on X claims that Apple is about to announce a billion-dollar buy of the digital asset, and the claim immediately captures attention online. But while some traders show excitement, one well-known XRP supporter pushes back against the story. XRP Influencer Dismisses Apple’s $1.5 Billion Buy Claim The claim about Apple spending billions on XRP gets a sharp response from XRP influencer Cobb, who is very active on X. Quoting the rumor, Cobb writes, “Are the ‘rumors’ in the room with us right now?” His comment mocks the story, comparing it to seeing ghosts, and points out that there is nothing substantial to support the claim.

This Expert Thinks So For many years, Apple avoided crypto completely and even placed restrictions on iOS that blocked in-app purchases involving digital tokens. Those limits were only lifted by Apple earlier this year. At the same time, some in the industry saw that as a bullish sign. However, lifting restrictions is very different from making a $1.5 billion buy of a single coin. The influencer’s response also suggests that if Apple were to enter the crypto market, XRP might not be its first choice. Bitcoin, with its trillion-dollar market value, or Ethereum, with its massive role in decentralized applications, would make far more sense for a company like Apple. Both assets are widely used by companies and even governments, unlike XRP, which remains tied more closely to its own community. By dismissing the rumor in such a direct way, Cobb shows how careful even strong supporters of XRP can be when faced with bold but unverified claims. Rumor Of Apple’s XRP Buy Circulates On X The rumor itself begins with a tweet from Dominus XRP Syndicate, an account with more than 45,000 followers. In the post, the user claims, “Strong rumors are circulating that Apple could be announcing a $1.5B $XRP purchase today.” The size of the account’s following helps the message spread quickly, drawing immediate attention in the XRP community.

Apple has never shown any public interest in making such a large, speculative buy, and the company has a reputation for being very cautious with big financial moves, showing little sign of embracing digital assets in such a direct way. The idea of one of the world’s most valuable companies holding XRP excites traders, even though nothing official supports the claim. Without a statement from Apple itself, the claim remains nothing more than speculation on social media. Although it has removed past restrictions on crypto, a billion-dollar XRP buy seems highly unlikely without clear evidence. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

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

The combined company will be the latest in a fast-growing string of publicly traded crypto treasury firms.
Asset Entities shareholders have approved a merger with Bitcoin asset management company Strive Enterprises to create a new enterprise named Strive, Inc. The goal of the merger is to establish the first publicly traded asset management Bitcoin treasury company. Strive, Inc. will be publicly traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker ASST. Yesterday’s announcement resulted in a 52% surge in social media marketing firm Asset Entities’ stock price, reflecting strong investor confidence in the new company’s strategy. Strive Inc. plans to raise $1.5B to buy and hold Bitcoin as a long-term investment while implementing disciplined strategies. This is exciting news for Bitcoin holders as growth in corporate Bitcoin adoption reduces the circulating supply and often pushes prices higher. The merger is also expected to maximize Bitcoin exposure for shareholders, amplifying long-term returns if $BTC continues its upward trend. The rise in institutional Bitcoin accumulation also creates a favorable backdrop for Bitcoin-related projects, such as Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). Asset Entities’ 52% Stock Surge and What It Means for Bitcoin Asset Entities shares were already up 17.8% in the hours before the announcement. But when news of the shareholders’ approval hit the headlines, shares skyrocketed to over 52% during after-hours trading. Currently, more than 180 publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies hold $BTC reserves, accounting for approximately 5.1% of the circulating Bitcoin supply. This corporate adoption trend, initiated by Strategy (which currently holds 638,460 $BTC), is rapidly transforming Bitcoin into a mainstream institutional asset. Along with legitimizing Bitcoin’s use, this trend is reshaping corporate finance norms and fueling increased demand, thereby enhancing Bitcoin’s long-term price appreciation and stability. What’s The Buzz About This Bitcoin Treasury Deal? Strive Inc’s plan to establish a $1.5 billion Bitcoin treasury has fueled the prevailing bullish market sentiment, driving $BTC prices further upward. Retail investors are also set to gain indirect exposure to Bitcoin’s price and treasury management by owning shares in the new entity. Not to mention, mergers like this could structurally alter the liquidity and risk profile for retail investors, as they increase Bitcoin scarcity and create new financial opportunities in public markets. Also, increased corporate adoption and treasury accumulation boost investor trust, benefiting crypto projects tied to Bitcoin’s ecosystem, such as Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). Why Investors Are Looking To Bitcoin Hyper Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is an innovative Layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, designed to eliminate Bitcoin’s pain points. And there certainly are a few of them. Bitcoin is renowned for its top-notch security. But when it comes to transaction speeds – never mind the costs – Bitcoin leaves a lot to be desired. Bitcoin is also limited in terms of smart contract execution, leaving DeFi, staking, dApps, and co out of the equation. But that’s where Bitcoin Hyper steps up to the plate, with an innovative Layer-2. Powered by its native token, $HYPER, the Layer-2 integrates a Canonical Bridge that lets you send your $BTC to a dedicated wallet. Once verified, your $BTC will be minted on the Hyper Layer-2 as wrapped $BTC. There, you can use your tokens for instant payments, DeFi, and dApps. Perhaps best of all, the Layer-2 also integrates the Solana Virtual Machine. That means faster, cheaper transactions that are more on par with Solana’s 65K max theoretical transactions per second rate compared to Bitcoin’s dismal seven. In a nutshell, Bitcoin Hyper has a lot going for it, and investors are taking note. Want to discover more about $HYPER? Our complete guide to $HYPER’s features and potential explains it all. Is $HYPER Set To Soar? The Bitcoin Hyper presale has already raised $14.8M+ and there are no signs of it slowing anytime soon. Whales have also joined in on the action – last month alone saw two significant whale buys of $161.3K and $100.6K. So, is $HYPER set to soar? It certainly looks like it. We’re not surprised, though. Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer-2 has the potential to be a market game-changer. $HYPER also positions itself as a project where early investors stand to benefit a lot. $HYPER is currently priced at $0.012885, and you can stake it for 75% APY. However, our analysts predict that $HYPER could end the year at $0.02595 – and potentially reach $0.253 in 2030. That’s an ROI of 1,863%. Find out how to buy $HYPER in our step-by-step guide. The Bitcoin Hyper presale is running on a tiered pricing model, with the next price increase scheduled for tomorrow. This means you have a limited window to secure your $HYPER tokens at the current bargain price. Ready to jump in? Head to the official Bitcoin Hyper presale website now. Potential Gains for Early Investors The merger between Asset Entities and Strive Enterprises marks a milestone in Bitcoin’s corporate adoption, as the newly formed company aims to establish one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasuries. This not only validates Bitcoin’s legitimacy as a mainstream institutional asset but also sets a powerful example for both retail and institutional investors. Furthermore, it has also reinforced Bitcoin’s role as a trusted treasury asset, amplifying confidence across the broader crypto ecosystem. As the ripple effect naturally extends to emerging projects, now’s the time to leverage this momentum and benefit from early opportunities, such as the Bitcoin Hyper presale. $HYPER presents a brilliant opportunity to become part of Bitcoin’s evolving financial ecosystem and position yourself at the forefront of Layer-2 scalability and innovation. The crypto market is highly volatile and carries significant risks. Always conduct your own research before making any investment decisions.
