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 trending amid robust institutional interest, evidenced by its Spot ETFs recording consistent positive inflows and sparking discussions about a potential supply shock from dwindling exchange reserves. While some in the community voice frustration over price dips and market manipulation concerns, a strong segment maintains conviction in XRP's long-term utility for global payments, closely watching broader market events like potential shifts in Japan's monetary policy.

SoundHound AI, Inc. engages in the development, owning, and commercialization of voice, sound, and natural language artificial intelligence technologies and related activities. The company was founded on September 2, 2005 and is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA.

SoundHound AI Inc - Ordinary Shares - Class A

SoundHound AI Inc

SoundHound AI is actively debated following analyst upgrades and its CEO's recent media appearances, which highlighted strategic partnerships for voice AI solutions like OpenTable and healthcare integrations. While bulls anticipate a significant rally driven by high short interest and long-term AI growth, many in the community are frustrated by persistent underperformance, raising concerns about "pump and dump" patterns and demanding clearer communication on profitability and "big tech" collaborations. This polarizing sentiment persists amidst broader market shifts influencing AI sector valuations.
