● Bank XRP shared a photo from New York City after stumbling upon a massive Ripple Swell billboard. He mentioned having to "pull over and snag a pic" and wished everyone a good Thursday. The image spread quickly online, showing Ripple's push into traditional advertising in major cities as crypto companies try new ways to boost their visibility.
● Meanwhile, Eric Daugherty posted about something completely different that day. He reported that New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani surprised his supporters by admitting certain promises "cannot be free"—contradicting what he'd said before. Mamdani then told followers: "Remember how I told you to stop sending me money? You can start again. I hope you will make a donation." Eric didn't hold back, calling him "one big scam, begging the working class to fund his 'transition'." The criticism went viral, sparking heated conversations about political honesty.
● Though these two posts had nothing to do with each other, they collided in the same news cycle online. Ripple's billboard showed corporate confidence and growth, while Mamdani's fundraising flip raised eyebrows about consistency and political credibility.
