Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) reached $323.6 million in net flows this week, being the first XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) traded in the US to surpass the $300 million threshold.

According to VettaFi’s data, XXRP now represents 52.5% of the total $616 million in net flows registered by US-traded XRP ETFs. 

Notably, all exchange-traded products (ETPs) tied to XRP in the US are pegged to derivatives, with the SEC yet to greenlight spot products as of July 29.

Two-digit growth

According to CoinShares, XRP ETPs captured $189 million in inflows last week. XXRP’s $73.4 million in net flows then represented 39% of the global flows, and a 22.7% weekly growth in inflows.

On July 21, XXRP saw the most significant daily volume of any XRP ETF in the US to date, capturing $50.4 million. 

The Teucrium ETF is the oldest of the four XRP ETFs traded in the US, launched on April 8. On May 22, Volatility Shares launched its XRP products, the funds XRPI and XRPT. While XRPI offers no leverage, XRPT offers exposure to 2x leverage.

XRPI registered $124.6 million in inflows as of July 28, according to data from ETF.com. XRPT posted nearly $168 million in net flows in the same period.

Regarding last week’s performance, Volatility Shares’ funds registered similar growth. XRPI total inflows increased by 27% by $33.6 million. At the same time, XRPT added $43.6 million in inflows, growing 26%.

The youngest of the bunch is ProShares Ultra XRP ETF (UXRP), which became live on July 16. Since then, the 2x leverage ETF captured roughly $101,000 in inflows.

Outpaced by Solana products

Despite surpassing Solana (SOL) in total market cap to become the third-largest crypto, XRP ETPs still register a smaller inflow count than SOL-related products this year.

XRP-based products closed June with nearly $410 million in year-to-date flows, against SOL’s $292.5 million.

However, XRP products now amount to $721 million in the global total net flows, losing ground to Solana-tied ETPs and their $844 million in inflows.

TikTok clashes with US congressman over alleged $300M TRUMP token bribe https://earlybirdsinvest.com/tiktok-clashes-with-us-congressman-over-alleged-300m-trump-token-bribe/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/tiktok-clashes-with-us-congressman-over-alleged-300m-trump-token-bribe/#respond Sun, 22 Jun 2025 02:00:06 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/tiktok-clashes-with-us-congressman-over-alleged-300m-trump-token-bribe/

TikTok has publicly denied allegations that it bought $300 million worth of TRUMP memecoins to sway US President Donald Trump.

The company addressed the claims on June 19 in a post on X, labeling the accusation “false and irresponsible” and aimed at misrepresenting its actions.

The statement followed comments by US Congressman Brad Sherman, who suggested that TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, purchased a large volume of TRUMP tokens. He claimed the alleged transaction amounted to a direct bribe to President Trump.

Sherman argued that since Trump created the token at no cost, any purchases funneled financial benefits straight to him.

TikTok dismissed Sherman’s narrative and highlighted that his interpretation of a recent letter was misleading. The company stressed that no such transaction had occurred and described the allegations as baseless.

The timing of the accusation coincides with a new Executive Order from President Trump, granting TikTok an additional 90 days to finalize the sale of its US operations or risk a nationwide ban.

Critics argue that the President lacked legal grounds to extend the deadline, citing the initial law passed by Congress that allowed for only one extension.

Trump’s crypto ties trigger ethics concern

Beyond TikTok, the TRUMP memecoin itself is drawing scrutiny from the industry.

The token, promoted by the Trump family, has sparked growing concerns over conflicts of interest. Critics warn that a president with direct or indirect ties to digital assets could face serious questions about ethics, transparency, and foreign influence.

Several US lawmakers and nonprofit watchdogs have expressed concern over the potential misuse of political office for personal financial gain, especially through tokens with no clear use case or underlying value.

Meanwhile, the TRUMP memecoin continues to trade far from its all-time high and faces consistent sell pressure. According to data from CryptoSlate, the token has fallen over 34% in the past month.

As of press time, it was trading around $9.43, down significantly from its January all-time high of $44.28.

RLUSD surpasses $300M supply as Ripple secures UAE backing https://earlybirdsinvest.com/rlusd-surpasses-300m-supply-as-ripple-secures-uae-backing/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/rlusd-surpasses-300m-supply-as-ripple-secures-uae-backing/#respond Tue, 10 Jun 2025 02:10:17 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/rlusd-surpasses-300m-supply-as-ripple-secures-uae-backing/

Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD expanded its circulating supply by 29% in the week ended June 8, adding $72.5 million and closing at $320.6 million.

The movement marks the first time the token’s float crossed the $300 million threshold. Additionally, it represents a sixfold increase since the launch of RLUSD on Dec. 17, 2024.

Data from Artemis shows the additional issuance coincided with a 38% increase in weekly transfer volume, which climbed to $648.1 million from $469.7 million seven days earlier. 

It is close to the weekly transfer volume peak registered between April 21 and 27, when users moved $741 million using RLUSD.

Yet, the token accounts for roughly 0.1% of the $236 billion stablecoin market. USDT, the largest dollar-pegged stablecoin, grew 0.57% to $157.9 billion, while USDC edged 0.33% lower to $59.6 billion. 

Smaller issuers such as PYUSD and USDS posted single-digit percentage gains.

Ripple mints RLUSD under a New York trust-company license and records each token against short-term Treasurys and cash held in regulated accounts. 

The company burned no tokens during the measurement window, indicating net new creation rather than re-issuance of previously redeemed supply.

UAE approval opens new distribution channel

The fresh issuance arrived days after the Dubai Financial Services Authority approved RLUSD for use inside the Dubai International Financial Centre. 

Ripple plans to integrate the stablecoin with its DFSA-licensed payments platform, enabling up to 7,000 locally regulated firms to settle transactions in the token.

Ripple’s managing director for the Middle East and Africa, Reece Merrick, said demand for digital-asset settlement and custody is growing “fast across the region” and called the UAE’s digital economy “vibrant and dynamic.” 

The DFSA nod grants RLUSD both US and international regulatory recognition, positioning the coin alongside USDT and USDC, which already operate in the emirate.

The stablecoin is also in Ripple’s roadmap following the acquisition of the prime brokerage platform Hidden Road. The crypto firm will integrate RLUSD into Hidden Road’s services as part of its $1.25 billion deal.

Crypto Market Sees $300M Liquidations as Trump Tariff Threats Flush Late Bulls https://earlybirdsinvest.com/crypto-market-sees-300m-liquidations-as-trump-tariff-threats-flush-late-bulls/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/crypto-market-sees-300m-liquidations-as-trump-tariff-threats-flush-late-bulls/#respond Fri, 23 May 2025 14:49:54 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/crypto-market-sees-300m-liquidations-as-trump-tariff-threats-flush-late-bulls/

Crypto traders betting on a steady bitcoin

rally got a sharp reminder of headline risk from Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats.

Over $300 million worth of leveraged derivatives positions were liquidated across centralized exchanges in the past four hours, according to CoinGlass data, as crypto prices plunged following the news.

Nearly all liquidations came from long positions—traders betting on higher prices. BTC longs accounted for $107 million of the total, while Ethereum’s ether

followed with close to $87 million. Other tokens, including Solana’s SOL , dogecoin , and SUI saw liquidations ranging between $10 million and $18 million.

“Nice aggregate flush of long leverage and de-risk selling from spot,” well-followed crypto trader Skew noted in an X post early Friday. “All driven by headlines once again.”

The sell-off came after Trump proposed a 50% tariff on imports from the European Union starting next month, along with a 25% tariff on iPhones manufactured outside the U.S., reigniting fears of an escalating trade war.

As a result, BTC and major altcoins such as Ether

, XRP , and Cardano fell 3% to 4%, while smaller-cap tokens like Uniswap and SUI dropped 5% to 7% over the past 24 hours.

Crypto trader named James Wynn, who gained attention recently opening a $1.1 billion BTC long bet with 40x leverage on the Hyperliquid exchange, also slipped underwater on the massive position. Currently, the trader is sitting on $7.5 million of unrealized losses, and the position could be liquidated if BTC slips to $102,000, according to a screenshot shared on X.

Interestingly, the long liquidations came amid a recent unusual tilt toward short positions in BTC derivatives despite record prices, CoinDesk reported on Thursday.

MANTRA CEO initiates burn of 150M OM allocation, aims to bring total burn to 300M tokens https://earlybirdsinvest.com/mantra-ceo-initiates-burn-of-150m-om-allocation-aims-to-bring-total-burn-to-300m-tokens/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/mantra-ceo-initiates-burn-of-150m-om-allocation-aims-to-bring-total-burn-to-300m-tokens/#respond Tue, 22 Apr 2025 01:35:42 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/mantra-ceo-initiates-burn-of-150m-om-allocation-aims-to-bring-total-burn-to-300m-tokens/

MANTRA founder and CEO John Patrick Mullin has initiated the burn of his full 150 million OM token allocation, following through on a commitment made last week to bolster transparency and rebuild trust within the community.

The token burn, which permanently removes the equivalent amount of OM from circulation, is part of a broader strategy to reaffirm MANTRA’s mission of creating a decentralized, inclusive financial ecosystem driven by tokenization.

Token burn

According to the project’s statement, the unstaking process has begun and is scheduled for completion on April 29, 2025. The tokens were originally staked during MANTRA Chain’s mainnet launch in October 2024 to secure the network.

Once finalized, the tokens will be sent to the burn address “mantra1qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqcg2my8,” effectively reducing the total supply by 150 million OM.

Transaction hashes associated with the unstaking process have been publicly shared, allowing onchain verification of the burn process.

In parallel, MANTRA is actively engaging with ecosystem partners to coordinate a second burn of 150 million OM tokens, which would double the total burn amount to 300 million OM.

The combined burn would reduce the total OM supply from 1.82 billion to 1.52 billion, marking a substantial shift in tokenomics.

Staking rewards to rise

The 150 million OM burn from the team and core contributor allocation will decrease staked tokens on the network from 571.8 million to 421.8 million OM.

This change will lower MANTRA Chain’s bonded ratio from 31.47% to 25.30%, triggering a rise in onchain staking annual percentage rates (APRs).

MANTRA said that once the final burn transaction is confirmed onchain, a complete verification report will be released.

The move reflects growing industry trends among tokenized projects seeking to build credibility and incentivize long-term participation through transparent and deflationary supply mechanics.

OM controversy

The decision to burn the tokens comes after a dramatic flash crash on April 13, during which OM’s price plummeted over 90% within an hour, erasing billions in value.

The crash was reportedly triggered by a $40 million token deposit into OKX by a wallet allegedly linked to the team, sparking fears of insider selling.

Panic spread quickly as rumors of undisclosed over-the-counter deals, delayed airdrops, and excessive token supply concentration fueled mass liquidations across exchanges.​

In response, Mullin announced the token burn as a commitment to transparency and community trust. However, OM’s price has continued to face volatility and is still down more than 90%.
