Top critic Ledger Man opened the show on Tuesday with a scandalously sharp post on X, lamenting Coinbase’s shrinking XRP reserves.

Amid the frosty plains of North Dakota, at the Midwest Economic Outlook Summit, Neel Kashkari, the Minneapolis Fed’s maestro of monetary musings, unleashed a symphony of skepticism against the crypto chorus.
