Solana And XRP ETFs Cause A Stir As Investors Look For Something New

The post Strategy’s Bold Move? Whispers of Bitcoin Buys and an Anonymous Meme Coin Project appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 19 September 2025 | 03:45 In the fast-evolving crypto world, rumors often spark as much market momentum as actual events. This September 2025, chatter is swirling around a new twist in Michael Saylor’s BTC strategy. After turning Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) into the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, insiders suggest Saylor may now be selling off stock stakes to not only double down on Bitcoin but also secretly back a meme coin presale. Many are asking: is Bull Zilla the anonymous project in question? The narrative blends two powerful currents: Bitcoin’s institutional dominance and the rise of meme coin projects with strong entry. With whispers of ETH whales buying meme tokens and Ethereum network upgrade rumors adding to volatility, traders are revisiting what could be the best new meme coin project today. Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Obsession: The Backstory To understand the significance of these rumors, it’s important to revisit how Saylor became the face of corporate Bitcoin. As Cointelegraph recently highlighted in “Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin obsession: How it all started,” the transformation began in 2020. Saylor, once skeptical of crypto, pivoted Strategy’s treasury away from cash and into Bitcoin. Beginning with a $250 million purchase in August 2020, the company escalated its buys through debt issuance and stock dilution, amassing more than 500,000 BTC by mid-2025, over 2% of the total fixed supply. This Michael Saylor BTC strategy turned Strategy into a de facto Bitcoin ETF proxy. Despite wild volatility, his conviction and long-term dollar-cost averaging set the standard for institutional adoption. By early 2025, Strategy had spent nearly $42 billion on BTC, reshaping its valuation and sparking copycats worldwide. Yet now, rumor has it that Saylor’s legendary obsession is expanding — from Bitcoin into presale narratives gaining traction in the meme coin sector. The Rumor: Bitcoin and a…

Crypto pundit Pumpius is drawing attention to what he calls the “XRP Endgame,” saying all the key pieces are falling into place for Ripple and its token. According to him, these shifts put XRP in a rare position to rise above other digital assets. Global rules and banking standards are also moving in Ripple’s favor at the same time. Pundit: Institutional Rails And Legal Clarity Cement XRP’s Role Pumpius stresses that Ripple’s victory in its long fight with the SEC is not just a legal win but a turning point. After years in court, XRP now has the strongest legal clarity of any cryptocurrency in the U.S.  Related Reading: Market Expert Says XRP Price At $1,000 Will Happen, But The Timeline Is Different He also points to Ripple’s launch of RLUSD, its enterprise stablecoin backed by reserves at BNY Mellon. Pumpius notes that this connection matters because BNY Mellon safeguards trillions in assets for global giants, including BlackRock and the U.S. Treasury. Tying a stablecoin to XRP’s payment rails creates what he calls a “stable reserve army” that strengthens trust in Ripple’s network. On the banking front, Pumpius explains that Ripple is not only licensed as a money service business but has also applied for the highly difficult New York banking charter. He adds that Ripple has taken it a step further by applying for a Federal Reserve master account, the highest privilege in the U.S. banking system. If granted, Ripple would not just compete with banks but effectively act as one, placing XRP at the center of financial settlements. XRP ETFs, Ripple’s Global Standards, And Tech Drive Convergence Pumpius notes that nearly 20 XRP spot ETFs are awaiting approval. If greenlit, these funds could open the doors to trillions of dollars from institutional investors and push XRP into the ranks of Wall Street assets overnight. Another major shift is the migration to ISO 20022, a global messaging standard that all major banks must adhere to by November. Pumpius points out that XRP has been ready for this for years, meaning RippleNet can easily connect with traditional banking rails the moment the change takes effect.

At the same time, he notes that the DNA Protocol is quietly developing biometric and genomic identity tools on the XRP Ledger. This step could solve Know Your Customer checks at the deepest level, blending finance and digital identity in a way no other blockchain has achieved. Ripple benefits as he notes the rise of a supportive political environment. A pro-crypto administration is pushing laws that fit Ripple’s long-term playbook. With regulators and policymakers leaning in the same direction, he believes the stage is set for XRP to move into its endgame. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
