It typically reflects internal address sweeping, a standard custodial practice, the report said. While the on-chain data confirms custody movement, it stops short of proving market execution.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Would Be Required To Confirm A Violation</h2>The report stated that confirming whether Executive Order 14233 was violated would require off-chain documentation, including court-issued forfeiture or disposition orders, USMS asset management records, or execution and settlement documentation from Coinbase Prime.&nbsp;Without those records, claims of a confirmed sale extend beyond what blockchain data alone can substantiate. This does not rule out the possibility that liquidation occurred. It means only that, in the absence of supporting documentation or court authorization records, the allegation remains unproven.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Origin Of $6.2 Million In Bitcoin</h2>The Bitcoin in question originated from a $6.3 million payment made by the Samourai Wallet developers, Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill, to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of their guilty plea.&nbsp;During the Joe Biden administration, the DOJ accused the developers of operating an illegal money transmitter and facilitating criminal activity through Samourai Wallet, a tool designed to allow Bitcoin users to transact privately without transferring funds to a third party.Rodriguez was sentenced in October to five years in federal prison, the maximum possible penalty for that charge, while Hill received a four-year sentence last year.

Nvidia’s peers, AMD and Intel, also announced a slew of processors on Monday.Meanwhile, Nvidia executives told analysts on the sidelines of CES that demand for its H200 chips from China has remained strong, even as the company awaits approvals from both Washington and Beijing before sales can start, according to a Nikkei report."We do have demand ... [for H200] definitely from China," Colette Kress, Nvidia's chief financial officer, told analysts at a question-and-answer session in Las Vegas on Monday afternoon, while Huang added "demand [is] strong" when asked about the China market.On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for Nvidia was ‘neutral’ as the premarket trading kicked off, down from ‘bullish’ a few hours earlier. NVDA rose nearly 40% last year. Although the performance was below some of its Magnificent 7 peers, analysts remain overwhelmingly bullish about the company.Currently, 60 of the 64 analysts covering the company have a ‘Buy’ or higher rating on the stock, according to Koyfin.

Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

Ripple

XRP is witnessing strong bullish momentum, driven by widespread community speculation around imminent regulatory clarity and significant institutional interest. Record ETF inflows and a perceived decoupling from Bitcoin's price action are fueling optimism, as the community eagerly discusses its potential for substantial future gains.
