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.

XRP is trending sharply lower, prompting widespread community panic and intense debate about its future amid a volatile crypto market. While some speculate on political theories and alleged manipulations, others remain focused on ongoing XRPL utility developments and the awaited 'Clarity Act' for a potential turnaround.

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Bitcoin is experiencing a significant downturn, prompting intense community debate over whether current levels mark a bottom, as widespread discussions also involve controversial allegations linking the cryptocurrency to illicit activities and concerns over institutional liquidations.

Shares of Comcast Corp. (<a class="mention" data-mention="$CMCSA" data-symbol-id="CMCSA" href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CMCSA" target="_blank">$CMCSA</a>) rose as much as 2.5% before markets opened on Wednesday after reports that the company is expected to announce a plan to spin off most of its cable TV networks.According to the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/comcast-greenlights-7-billion-spinoff-of-nbcuniversal-cable-channels-cc5c6dc5">Wall Street Journal</a>, Comcast is planning to decouple its entertainment and news channels including MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Oxygen, E!, Syfy and Golf Channel.The move highlights Comcast's focus on its core NBCUniversal assets, including broadcast television, sports rights, film studios, and theme parks, which the company sees as having stronger growth potential.&nbsp;Comcast is reportedly relying on its financial position to manage the loss of profits from cable networks, which have been in decline due to cord-cutting trends.However, Barclays has expressed skepticism about Comcast’s rumored plan to spin off its cable network business, suggesting it may not make financial sense on its own, but has maintained its ‘Equal Weight’ rating on Comcast with a $42 price target.The brokerage noted that the standalone business would likely struggle due to its smaller scale in revenue, EBITDA, and cash flow, which could exacerbate structural challenges.&nbsp;It believes the move could be part of a broader strategic initiative aimed at sidestepping regulatory challenges to pave the way for larger deals in the cable sector.&nbsp;The report comes after Comcast President Mike Cavanagh said the company was exploring the creation of a separate company for its cable networks and would consider partnerships in streaming during the company’s third-quarter earnings call late last month.&nbsp;“We are now exploring whether creating a new, well-capitalized company owned by our shareholders and comprised of our strong portfolio of cable networks would position them to take advantage of opportunities in the changing media landscape and create value for our shareholders,” he said.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CMCSA"><img style="aspect-ratio:1289/297;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_11_20_074358_7426bb403f.png" alt="Screenshot 2024-11-20 074358.png" width="1289" height="297"></a><figcaption>Comcast Corp.
