Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on Thursday said making America the crypto capital of the world is "within reach" when he responded to CFTC Chairman Mike Selig's post about the Aug.19 White House crypto meeting.

CFTC Chairman Selig had thanked President Donald Trump for hosting crypto industry leaders at the White House last month, saying the administration is ensuring the new frontier of finance gets built on American soil.

Garlinghouse replied directly, saying he was "proud to be in the room" and calling for the industry to finish the job.

The Aug. 19 meeting brought together Garlinghouse, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, and other industry and regulatory leaders.

Selig highlighted key regulatory milestones from the Trump administration including the GENIUS Act, a strategic Bitcoin reserve, and clearer rules separating crypto securities from commodities.

The CFTC also launched its Innovation Advisory Committee, with its charter renewed on August 19 and its first meeting held the following day.

What the ETF and Derivatives Data Show

XRP spot ETFs pulled in $6.14 million in net inflows on September 3, rebounding sharply from a $7.20 million outflow the prior day, with cumulative inflows now standing at $1.68 billion and total net assets at $1.55 billion.

Bitwise's XRP fund led with $2.95 million of the day's total.

On the derivatives side, open interest jumped 8% to $3.32 billion alongside a 63% volume spike, meaning traders are actively opening new positions rather than sitting on the sidelines.

Top traders on Binance are heavily positioned long, running roughly 2 to 2.5 longs for every short.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Qnetic

As electricity demand rises alongside AI, data centers, and renewable energy, long-duration energy storage is becoming increasingly important. Qnetic is developing a kinetic energy storage system designed to provide long-lasting, chemical-free electricity storage, offering investors exposure to the infrastructure supporting a more resilient and reliable power grid.
