TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – Kansas legislators discussed the possibilities of crypto at a meeting Wednesday.
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) presented at the meeting, sharing its stance on cryptocurrency.
“It’s an opportunity to bring jobs to the state, expand economic opportunity and make it easier for people to transact and create businesses,” said ALEC Communications and Technology Task Force Senior Director Jake Morabito.
“I think that legislation has kind of lagged what’s really going on,” Johnson County Rep. Rui Xu said. “I think we’re seeing this a lot with AI right now and just quantum computing too, even. These things are coming, or here, and we have to be aware of what’s going on.”
Some states are starting to take action by making laws around the tech, and the Sunflower State is looking at every angle.
“More and more people are using it for either investments or for peer-to-peer transactions, so states like Kansas need to provide regulatory clarities that way consumers can be protected from threats,” Morabito said.
“Overall the general vibe of the committee is that we want some guardrails but we want to allow for innovation generally here in Kansas,” Rep. Xu said. “But we’ll have to see what this specific legislation looks like.”
Some lawmakers say the dangers are apparent, but they wouldn’t dismiss the potential benefits crypto could carry for the state.
“Kansas being kind of a leader on this is just a huge opportunity for the state to, like I said, open those doors and bring those innovators and good ideas to the state,” ALEC Commerce, Insurance and Economic Task Force Director Alan Jernigan said.
“People associate it with scams or kind of like illicit conduct, but there are legitimate and beneficial uses of it,” Morabito said. “So that’s what states like Kansas can be a leader on is how do we bring novel, innovative businesses to Kansas and grow the economy.”
Wednesday was all discussions, and Kansas legislators plan to dive deeper into crypto in the future.

Imagine a cryptocurrency that doesn’t just participate in the digital economy but transforms it. Enter BlockDAG (BDAG), a pioneering project that has ignited significant global interest, amassing an astonishing $430 million during its presale phase. This isn’t merely another cryptocurrency joining the ranks; BlockDAG is on the frontier of reshaping blockchain scalability and the very essence of decentralized applications. As the community anticipates the crucial Binance Live AMA, there’s a sense of urgency — a collective heartbeat echoing an impending change in the realm of digital assets.
The forthcoming Binance Live AMA is more than just a chat session; it’s an opening to a burgeoning future. For the first time, enthusiasts will gain insight into BlockDAG’s cutting-edge innovations, including its hybrid DAG Proof-of-Work architecture. Merging traditional PoW security with unprecedented transaction speeds, BlockDAG is set to handle an impressive 15,000 transactions per second. This framework holds the potential to ignite an uptick in cryptocurrency demand, drawing in not just individual investors but significant institutional players exploring fresh opportunities.
At the heart of BlockDAG’s mission is the ambitious tackling of blockchain’s notorious trilemma: speed, security, and scalability. By adopting a groundbreaking hybrid model, it lays the groundwork for decentralized applications that can flourish in a performance-driven environment. The active Awakening Testnet, engaging around 4,500 developers, showcases these capabilities, solidifying BlockDAG’s position as a relevant player in the ever-evolving world of decentralized technology.
The runaway success of the BlockDAG presale is a clear reflection of the community’s faith in the project and serves as a prelude to its market recognition. Currently, more than 312,000 holders stand ready, buzzing with excitement for the initial trading day. In an industry often clouded by uncertainty, BlockDAG’s transparent presale practices set it apart from many projects that stumble post-launch, signaling a commitment to clear communication and integrity that inspires confidence.
With over 3.5 million mobile miners actively engaged, BlockDAG has transformed potential investors into true stakeholders. This creative approach gamifies community involvement, allowing users to earn rewards before the official launch, thereby creating a sense of authentic ownership that is frequently absent from new token endeavors. By cultivating this community-centric atmosphere, BlockDAG isn’t just solidifying its market presence; it’s echoing a deeper desire among contemporary investors for genuine engagement over mere opportunism.
As the clock ticks down to Genesis Day, excitement builds around BlockDAG, poised to leap from relative obscurity into the spotlight. The Binance AMA promises to unveil critical details, touching on its roadmap, possible collaborations, and expected TGE code pricing — all crucial insights that could reveal vast potential for early believers. With a carefully crafted launch plan designed to avoid the common pitfalls of congestion, BlockDAG distinguishes itself amidst a wave of hastily executed releases.
In a cryptocurrency landscape often fraught with regulatory hurdles, BlockDAG’s approach stands in stark contrast to the status quo. By forging a path that harmonizes decentralization with regulatory alignment, it demonstrates that progress doesn’t have to compromise compliance. Emerging trends suggest that thoughtful regulations can bolster the adoption of revolutionary platforms, enhancing their potential rather than stifling growth.
As BlockDAG gears up for a transformative future, the upcoming Binance Live AMA could mark a watershed moment for this innovative cryptocurrency. With demonstrable technological advancements and a fiercely loyal community, BlockDAG is positioned at the vanguard of the digital asset revolution. For those investing in the future of crypto, BlockDAG presents a narrative woven with transparency, scalability, and robust community engagement. As Genesis Day approaches, one thing remains certain: the bold assertions of BlockDAG may very well hold the keys to a radically redefined horizon in cryptocurrency. Anticipation is rife — BlockDAG is on the cusp of redefining what it means to engage with digital finance.

In a livestream on October 22, 2025, crypto commentator Zach Rector argued that an XRP supply squeeze in 2025 is effectively “baked in,” contending that pending spot exchange-traded funds and a wave of “digital asset treasury” vehicles will lock up meaningful amounts of circulating supply.
Why A XRP Supply Shock Could Be Coming
“This is no longer speculation,” Rector said at the top of the show. “When these ETFs do go live, we are going to see inflows… With conservative assumptions on the inflows and simple math on the multiplier… we can confirm that XRP is going to a much higher price and that a supply shock will ensue this year unless the government shutdown extends until 2026.”
Rector anchored his thesis to what he described as empirics from last year’s trading. Citing his own notes, he said that in November 2024 net inflows to XRP totaled only 118 million, while market capitalization rose by 105 billion,” implying, in his framing, an “883x market cap multiplier over a one-month period.” Anticipating skepticism about the short-window math, he countered that the same dynamic can cut both ways during liquidations. “It works on inflows coming in and price going up. It also works when there’s mass FUD and we get selling and people want to leave,” he said.
Projecting forward to an ETF era, Rector posited that even “ridiculously conservative” assumptions lead to double-digit XRP. He referenced external estimates he said he’s seen for first-year or first-month demand—“JP Morgan saying $4 to $8 billion in the first year” and a range of “$5 to $10 billion” discussed by a fund executive—then applied a 100x multiplier as his base case.
“What you see is XRP’s market cap growing by 500 billion… If we get 10 billion of inflows… you’re looking at a trillion of market cap growth,” he said, adding that at “around a 60 billion circulating supply” that math “is about a $17 to $20 XRP.” He stressed that the precise number is unknowable but the direction, in his view, is not: “It’s not a riddle… it’s rather simple math at this point.”
Beyond ETFs, Rector highlighted what he called a parallel pipeline of balance-sheet buyers in the form of public digital asset treasury companies. He focused on Evernorth, describing it as a US vehicle “established to promote the adoption of the crypto asset XRP at an institutional scale” and planning to list on Nasdaq under the ticker “XRP” via a SPAC in early 2026.

He read from an SBI Holdings press statement announcing a $200 million PIPE alongside Ripple and other investors, saying proceeds would be used “primarily to purchase XRP in the open market to build one of the world’s largest public XRP treasuries,” with audited reporting.
“They’re going to bring 200 million of inflows into XRP,” he said, adding that Evernorth’s total committed capital “is expected to raise a total of over 1 billion.” For Rector, those purchases—whether from order books or OTC—still reduce float. “Even if they’re getting it OTC, they’re still driving a supply shock ,” he argued.
Rector framed timing risk around Washington, asserting that a US government shutdown, which he said began on October 1 and had reached “21 days,” is delaying ETF approvals. He repeatedly caveated his 2025 call with the shutdown wildcard: “The only way that we don’t get a supply shock here in 2025 is if the government stays shut down throughout the rest of this year… Very unlikely, [but] that is the one caveat.”
He added that, consistent with prior crypto cycles, he expects a “buy the rumor, sell the news” pullback on the day spot products go live, even as he maintains a bullish net view on cumulative inflows over subsequent weeks and months.
At press time, XRP traded at $2.39.
