Today's market feels like someone opened a window in a very sweaty room. Not fresh air, exactly, but enough breeze that everyone remembered how to breathe 😮‍💨

The change started when the PPI inflation data dropped.

Quick explainer: PPI = Producer Price Index. It's inflation at the wholesale level, aka the prices businesses pay, before those costs hit consumers.

👉 If PPI is hot, the Fed freaks out because higher producer costs usually mean higher consumer prices later;

👉 If PPI is chill, the Fed relaxes a bit because inflationary pressure might be easing.

And today, Core PPI clocked in at 2.6%, a bit cooler than the 2.7% expected and down from 2.9% last month.

What this tells us: producer inflation didn't just come in slightly under expectations - it actually eased, which can be taken as a sign that the Fed might cut interest rates next month.

(Which could be bullish for crypto.)

And the market, starving for any positive macro signal, took this idea with both hands.

👉 Bitcoin touched $88K for a moment. Nothing crazy, but after the $115K → $80K drop we suffered this month, even the tiniest bounce feels like emotional relief;

👉 Total crypto market cap climbed near $3.1T;

👉 And while we're still in Extreme Fear, we're now getting closer to just Fear... which is... still something.

Oh, and if you looked at the price table, you might've noticed that XRP's doing a bit better than the other majors today.

☕️ Wall Street's now serving XRP

Aaanyways... where was I?..

Oh, yeah, XRP's pumping.

That happened because multiple XRP spot ETFs launched on major US stock exchanges.

👉 Canary Capital was first out of the gate on Nov 13;

👉 Bitwise followed on Nov 20;

👉 Franklin Templeton and Grayscale dropped theirs on Nov 24.

Now, think of ETFs as the bridge between two worlds:

World 1: crypto exchanges, memes, private keys, self-custody;

World 2: retirement accounts, wealth managers, your dad's Fidelity login.

Until now, XRP mostly lived in World 1.

These ETFs basically built a legal, SEC-blessed tunnel straight into World 2 - a world that controls trillions of dollars.

So once that tunnel opened, a whole lotta money started coming through: hundreds of millions of dollars flowed into these funds within days.

And when that happens, the ETF has to go out and buy real XRP to back all that investor money. Which they did.

And sure, there are angles worth keeping in mind:

👉 Will the hype cool off? Maybe.

👉 Will institutions move slowly and carefully? Definitely.

👉 Does this eliminate risk or volatility? Absolutely not.

But it does something more subtle: it normalizes XRP.

Which is a lot. Crypto doesn't go mainstream by becoming safer; it goes mainstream by becoming familiar.

And these XRP ETFs bring the kind of comfort that could make millions of regular people say, "Oh... if it's on the stock market, I can handle that."

Let's just hope they actually do 👀
