Ripple News: XRP ETF Inflows Hold Through Market Volatility

In the latest Ripple news, spot XRP ETF products recorded $9.56 million in net inflows during the latest five-day trading week, extending their positive run to 10 consecutive weeks. Cumulative net inflows briefly touched a record $1.720 billion on Wednesday before easing to roughly $1.710 billion a day later, a level consistent with the approximately $1.71 billion figure now attached to the streak.　　This is not simply a continuation of a favorable flow trend. It is a demonstration that allocation into XRP ETF products held up through a week that included a failed Senate vote, a Federal Reserve rate decision, and a sharp intraday move in the underlying token, without producing an immediate reversal in demand.　　XRP ETF Flow Coinglass　　Ripple News: How Inflows Survived a Failed Senate Vote and a Fed Hike　　The week opened strong, with $11.26 million entering spot XRP ETFs on the day ahead of the Senate‘s cloture vote on the CLARITY Act, the crypto market-structure legislation whose failure to advance on Tuesday coincided with XRP falling more than 8% within hours, per the primary reporting.

Bitcoin shattered $80,000 after a $148 billion US liquidity shock failed to break markets

Bitcoin climbed above $80,000 after a $148 billion US Treasury cash build failed to destabilize overnight funding markets.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $86,078.14 24-hour change: up 6.46% Loading price history… 24H Up 6.46% 7D Up 9.87% 30D Up 11.73%　　The Treasury General Account rose by $148.003 billion through Sept. 16 to $991.708 billion, Federal Reserve data showed, as tax payments shifted cash into the governments account at the central bank.　　Deposits held by commercial banks at the Fed fell by $114.971 billion over the same period to $2.922 trillion, tightening the pool of reserves available to the financial system. The gap between the two moves shows the Treasury increase did not translate into a one-for-one reserve drain because other balance-sheet flows were also at work.　　The transfer had been closely watched because large tax-date inflows into the Treasury can temporarily pull cash from private markets and make short-term funding more expensive. That risk took on added significance after the Fed raised its benchmark interest-rate range by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4% on Sept. 16.　　So far, the strain has remained contained.　　The Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the main benchmark for borrowing cash against Treasury securities, printed at 3.85% on Sept. 17 across

Prediction Market Odds: Military Bets Raise Security Concerns

New research on prediction market odds suggests military bets win far more often than they should. Researchers at the Anti-Corruption Data Collective analyzed more than 400,000 settled Polymarket prediction market odds. They focused on large bets placed on unlikely outcomes.　　These are wagers of at least $2,500 on outcomes priced below 35 percent implied probability. Across the platform, such bets pay out 14 percent of the time. In markets tied to military and defense events, they pay out 52 percent of the time. David Szakonyi, Michelle Kendler-Kretsch, and Michael Hornsby published the analysis on September 17, 2026.　　The findings come months after prosecutors charged US serviceman Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He allegedly used classified information about the January 2026 operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Prosecutors say he turned a bet into roughly $400,000 in winnings. Earlier DOJ charges against the soldier detail his classified Polymarket bets. Van Dyke has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is expected later this year.　　El FBI le puso los ganchos a un soldado Delta Force (Sargento Maestro – Gannon Ken Van Dyke), que participó y planificó la captura de Maduro el 3 de enero, pero 1 semana antes abrió una cuenta en Polymarket y apostó

WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking No. 32 Ourbit: The “Meme Coin King” Has Withdrawal Reviews Scheduled for 2027

Introduction: The Two Faces of a “Degen-Only” Exchange　　In the previous 31 editions, we investigated a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to CoinW. For the 32nd edition, we are looking at one with perhaps the “youngest” image of them all — Ourbit.　　Its résumé is certainly impressive when it comes to attracting younger traders: “Founded in 2020,” “built by the former core MEXC team,” “registered in the BVI,” “1:1 Proof of Reserves (PoR),” “Hacken penetration testing + SlowMist partnership,” “zero spot trading fees permanently,” “No. 1 meme-coin liquidity across the entire market,” “meme projects including SPX6900, Retardio, and HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu,” “backed by Lil Pump and Iggy Azalea,” “No. 27 in spot trading and No. 20 in derivatives on CoinMarketCap,” and a “CoinGecko Trust Score of 8/10.”　　Sounds like a paradise for degen traders, right？　　But there is another side.　　In a judgment issued in December 2025 by the Dashiqiao Peoples Court in Liaoning Province, 34 people were sentenced in a criminal case involving a fraud ring that operated under the name “OURBIT Digital Currency Trading Platform.” The group allegedly claimed that it was “registered in Singapore” and “held financial licenses in the UK and the US,” fabricated K-line charts based on Bitcoin prices, and induced
