A bug that sat in the XRP Ledger's payment engine for about 10 years could have minted 18 trillion XRP out of nothing, against a fixed supply of 100 billion. Jeff and Chip break down how it worked, who found it, why the fix skipped the usual validator vote, and why it lands right as Evernorth's XRPN is expected to open on the Nasdaq Monday. Plus the $250,000 bug bounty fight, AI guardrails and pen testing, Bitcoin, Ether and Solana ETF outflows, and in the back half: James Carville's meltdown, Bessent's letter to Elizabeth Warren, Europe's migration and military service push, and the UK digital ID fight.
