So we have a few quick stories to get you ready for the weekend to get you in the mood. We're looking at hype hitting all time high. Perhaps we could have known it was going to happen, but it finally did it. We're going to take a look at some of the tokenomics and some of the data behind the price to see what's going on with Hyper Liquid right now. We're also looking at ETF flows. Everyone's talking about XRP ETF flows. XRP wallets are booming. We're going to take a look if that's the case and some |
| 0:38.7 | other ETF stuff. And we're also going to loop back into the Ethereum troubles. We have a |

As always, I'm going to try and convey what I'm seeing on screen appropriately so you can easily follow along. But it's basically the hype chart. And you can see that |
| 1:48.0 | we have breached all-time high again. All-time high this time around, 62-18 is what the read |
| 1:56.7 | is, $62.18. That beats the all-time high set in September 19 of around $59. So we've |
