XRP fans were disappointed this weekend when transnational banking giant SWIFT chose Linea, an Ethereum-based layer 2 blockchain developed by ConsenSys, for on-chain bank messaging. In a follow-up disappointment for Ripple and its RLUSD stablecoin, SWIFT, which processes over $150 trillion worth of wires annually, also chose Linea-based stablecoins for its pilot program. For years, XRP investors have hoped to either displace SWIFT or convince it to adopt the XRP Ledger’s messaging system. Similar to SWIFT, XRP’s blockchain and on-demand liquidity facilitates cross-border settlements of fiat or stablecoins using XRP as a bridge asset.

Crypto prediction market Kalshi pulled in nearly $1.3 million more than its biggest rival Polymarket after they both launched trades based on an episode of controversial animation South Park featuring the pair. Kalshi had $1.5 million in volume on its “What will the South Park characters say?” market while Polymarket had a more modest $203,000 on markets speculating about what would be said and which of the show’s characters would trade. The episode in general poked fun at the absurdity of prediction markets, with platforms taking bets on whether or not central character Kyle Broflovski’s Jewish mother would strike Gaza and bomb a Palestinian hospital.  Another of the main characters, Cartman, bets that Kyle’s mother won’t bomb a hospital, but convinces everyone that she will so that the potential profits of his “no” bet increase. This market manipulation was called out by Stan, who described it as an illegal conflict of interest .  The episode poked f...
