For a token that has already delivered a roughly 18x return over five months, the latest on-chain data from Santiment suggests DeXe may still have room to run, but the quiet social volume leaves open questions. According to the Santiment update, network growth hit its fourth largest day ever with 161 new wallets created, while whale transactions over $100,000 reached 11 in a single day—the fourth highest tally in 2026.

The harder question is what pays it back, and when. This isn’t about hype cycles anymore. It’s a cash-flow test. If the spend bends margins or pulls forward too much debt without visible returns, the index’s most crowded trade gets fragile fast. Let’s map what “payback proof” actually looks like, what to track quarter by quarter, and why the funding math is shifting underfoot. Point Details Capex wave is massive FactSet…

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said he and co-founder Chris Larsen seriously considered shutting the company down after the SEC sued in 2020 and distributing Ripple’s XRP holdings to shareholders.In a KU Hustle interview, Garlinghouse said they chose to fight instead because closing Ripple would have cost hundreds of jobs. He estimated the four-year legal battle cost the company about $150 million. The scenario concerned Ripple as a company, rather than a shutdown of the XRP Ledger or a loss of XRP held by the public.We almost decided to shut down the company when the SEC sued us. We we were…
