Meta announced on Tuesday that it's testing a Threads feature that lets users tag a Meta AI account to get answers to questions or context about a conversation on the platform. If you've spent any time looking at replies on X as of late, this new feature sounds a lot like Meta's take on people tagging xAI's Grok. But, as reported by Engadget, Threads users quickly discovered that you can't block the new Meta AI account, and they aren't happy about it. Meta has invested heavily in AI as it works to catch up to rivals like OpenAI and Google, spending billions to hire AI talent. It launched a new AI model called Muse Spark in April, which it s … Read the full story at The Verge.

Crypto pundit BarriC has declared that XRP was never designed to be cheap, given its projected utility among institutional players. He also indicated that the altcoin could reach at least $1,000 as it continues to gain greater adoption among these institutions. Crypto Pundit Says XRP Not Designed To Be Cheap In an X post, BarriC stated that XPR was never designed to be cheap and that it was designed to move institutional value. He gave an example of how a larger amount of XRP will be needed if an institution wants to execute a $1 million cross-border transaction. Specifically, he mentioned that such a transaction would require 200,000 XRP at $5 per XRP, whereas it would require only 20 XRP if the altcoin were trading at $50,000 per coin.

The post Musk’s AI Ambitions Face Pressure as Grok Struggles to Keep Pace appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grok downloads fell from more than 20 million in January to around 8.3 million in April. Only 0.174% of surveyed US AI users said they paid for Grok in Q2 2026. Enterprise adoption of Grok remains weak as Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini grow. Elon Musk launched Grok in late 2023 with plans to challenge OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the AI market. Two years later, the numbers show the gap is widening instead of closing. New market data compiled by the Wall Street Journal points to slowing user growth, weak paid adoption, and limited enterprise traction as rivals rapidly expand across both consumer and business markets. At the same time, Musk’s own companies are now selling critical computing power to competitors instead of using it entirely for Grok’s development. Grok Downloads Collapse After January Spike Grok briefly captured major attention earlier this year after
XRP has spent the past few months in a frustrating position, with its price still trading around the same zone that many holders expected it to leave behind long ago. However, XRP enthusiast Luke believes this phase should not be mistaken for the end of the asset’s long-term story. In a post on X, he described the current $1.40 XRP as being in temporary hibernation and said that a move to $18 or $25 could represent only an intermediate stage if market expansion and adoption continue. XRP’s Current Price Is A Temporary Hibernation Phase The XRP price has spent the better part of 2026 trapped in a range between $1.30 and $1.45, down more than 60% from its January high and about 25% below where it started the year. This has created a disconnect between Ripple’s institutional momentum and XRP’s price performance.

A new XRP market thesis is circulating ahead of the Senate markup of the CLARITY Act on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at 10:30 AM ET, with XRP community member and developer Vincent Van Code arguing that regulatory clarity could turn XRP Ledger liquidity from a speculative narrative into institutional market structure. The argument centers on whether legal safe harbor for digital assets would allow major banks and payment networks to use XRPL liquidity pools at production scale. In a post on X, Van Code described the upcoming markup, as a potential trigger for XRP’s institutional use case. He framed the legislation not merely as another policy milestone, but as the missing legal layer for large regulated financial institutions to engage more directly with on-chain settlement infrastructure. Why XRP Needs $10 For Bank-Scale XRPL Liquidity “The digital asset market has spent a decade in beta. This Thursday, May 14, 2026, the CLARITY Act Senate markup provides the final legal API for G-SIBs (Gl
The post Ripple Ex-CTO David Schwartz Just Revealed Which Crypto Made Him the Most Money appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple ex-CTO David Schwartz revealed that XRP generated more personal wealth for him than any other cryptocurrency, even though he has steadily reduced his digital asset exposure over time. Schwartz helped design the XRP Ledger before retiring from the chief technology officer role earlier this year. He shared the disclosure on X in response to a fan asking which token paid him the most. XRP Outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum for Schwartz On X, Schwartz disclosed that he once held 26 million XRP. He also owned roughly 1,000 Bitcoin (BTC) and 40,000 Ethereum (ETH) tokens. He has cut each position sharply over the years. His early XRP allocation as a Ripple co-founder still produced larger lifetime returns than his Bitcoin or Ethereum bets. XRP hit an all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025. The token trades near $1.46 today, ranking fourth by market value. The prolon
