Solana Foundation manager Vibhu has stirred debate in the crypto industry by challenging Ripple executives to a live, data-based discussion on XRP’s blockchain performance. His post on X invited XRP community members to join a “facts-only” debate, urging participants to rely on verifiable on-chain metrics rather than speculation. The move reflects growing tension between advocates of Solana’s expanding ecosystem and Ripple’s supporters, who often emphasize long-term institutional growth.Vibhu Questions XRP’s Network ActivityVibhu argued that many XRP supporters avoid discussing measurable on-chain trends. He said he respects Ripple’s innovation but believes its community should face data showing minimal progress. According to metrics he cited, XRP Ledger’s daily active accounts have hovered near 25,000 for about three years. “The numbers don’t lie,” Vibhu said, noting that XRP’s network has not kept pace with market developments.He contrasted this stagnation with Solana’s rapid growth, reporting more than 2.5 million active accounts daily. Consequently, he pointed out that Solana’s network processes far more real activity than XRP, highlighting a significant gap between both ecosystems. Vibhu stressed that low fees exist on both blockchains, so the disparity reflects user demand, not cost advantages.Comparing Volumes and Ecosystem GrowthBesides user counts, Vibhu compared transactional and payment data to demonstrate Solana’s growing dominance. XRP Ledger reportedly handles 1 million to 1.5 million daily transactions, while Solana records roughly 100 million. Moreover, he noted that Solana’s stablecoin transfer volume hit nearly $2 trillion in October, while XRP’s monthly transfers remain between $50 billion and $60 billion.However, Ripple continues to expand its ecosystem through acquisitions and new initiatives. Its purchase of GTreasury and launch of Evernorth on Nasdaq show a push toward broader enterprise adoption. Additionally, Ripple’s upcoming DeFi roadmap aims to increase tokenization and stablecoin activity on the XRP Ledger, signaling potential recovery in future usage metrics.Live Debate to Settle the Data DisputeVibhu invited Ripple executives to join a public debate where both sides present verifiable data. “I’ll bring facts,” he said, emphasizing that the event should remain factual and transparent.

Solana Foundation Manager Calls Out Ripple Execs for On-Chain “Facts-Only” Debate

Solana Foundation manager Vibhu has stirred debate in the crypto industry by challenging Ripple executives to a live, data-based discussion on XRP’s blockchain performance. His post on X invited XRP community members to join a “facts-only” debate, urging participants to rely on verifiable on-chain metrics rather than speculation. The move reflects growing tension between advocates of Solana’s expanding ecosystem and Ripple’s supporters, who often emphasize long-term institutional growth.

Vibhu Questions XRP’s Network Activity

Vibhu argued that many XRP supporters avoid discussing measurable on-chain trends. He said he respects Ripple’s innovation but believes its community should face data showing minimal progress. According to metrics he cited, XRP Ledger’s daily active accounts have hovered near 25,000 for about three years. “The numbers don’t lie,” Vibhu said, noting that XRP’s network has not kept pace with market developments.

He contrasted this stagnation with Solana’s rapid growth, reporting more than 2.5 million active accounts daily. Consequently, he pointed out that Solana’s network processes far more real activity than XRP, highlighting a significant gap between both ecosystems. Vibhu stressed that low fees exist on both blockchains, so the disparity reflects user demand, not cost advantages.

Comparing Volumes and Ecosystem Growth

Besides user counts, Vibhu compared transactional and payment data to demonstrate Solana’s growing dominance. XRP Ledger reportedly handles 1 million to 1.5 million daily transactions, while Solana records roughly 100 million. Moreover, he noted that Solana’s stablecoin transfer volume hit nearly $2 trillion in October, while XRP’s monthly transfers remain between $50 billion and $60 billion.

However, Ripple continues to expand its ecosystem through acquisitions and new initiatives. Its purchase of GTreasury and launch of Evernorth on Nasdaq show a push toward broader enterprise adoption. Additionally, Ripple’s upcoming DeFi roadmap aims to increase tokenization and stablecoin activity on the XRP Ledger, signaling potential recovery in future usage metrics.

Live Debate to Settle the Data Dispute

Vibhu invited Ripple executives to join a public debate where both sides present verifiable data. “I’ll bring facts,” he said, emphasizing that the event should remain factual and transparent. Former Ripple Director of Developer Relations Matt Hamilton accepted the challenge, while community figure King Solomon offered to host the debate.

The upcoming discussion could reveal contrasting views on blockchain growth and user engagement, shaping how investors perceive Solana’s and XRP’s network strength in the evolving crypto landscape.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in? She was beautiful.’ And they looked at each other, and they went, ‘What are you talking about? We didn’t see anything.’ But you know what? I think they put her up to it. Doesn’t that sound more like them?” “Waiting for a Girl Like You” became a massive hit in 1981 for Foreigner off their album 4, which peaked at number one on the Billboard chart for 10 weeks and…
