A supposed Fox News leak claiming XRP could hit $37,500 through a government buyback program has sent the crypto world into absolute chaos, though nobody can actually find the broadcast.
So apparently someone on Twitter just dropped what might be the biggest bombshell in XRP history, or the most elaborate troll job ever pulled. CryptoGeekNews posted a viral tweet claiming they caught a Fox News segment talking about some government-backed buyback program that values XRP at a mind-melting $37,500 per token. Yeah, you read that right - thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars per XRP.
The problem? Nobody can actually find this supposed Fox News segment anywhere. It's like that friend who swears they saw Bigfoot but somehow their camera wasn't working. The XRP army is going absolutely bananas over this, and honestly, who can blame them? If you're holding XRP at $2.20 and someone tells you the government might buy it back at $37,500, you'd probably lose your shit too.
XRP (Ripple) Price Reality Check vs. Fantasy Land
Let's bring this back down to earth for a second. XRP is currently chilling at around $2.13, which means this alleged buyback price would represent a gain of roughly... checks calculator... holy crap, about 1,700,000%. That's not a typo. We're talking about turning a $100 XRP investment into $1.7 million overnight.
Naturally, anyone with half a brain cell is calling bullshit on this whole thing. There's zero concrete evidence, no official statements from Ripple, and definitely nothing from any government agency. But here's the crazy part - people are still buying into it. Trading volume on exchanges like Bitstamp went through the roof after this tweet dropped, because apparently FOMO is stronger than common sense in crypto.
XRP (Ripple) Holders Split Between Hope and Reality
The XRP community is basically having an identity crisis right now. On one side, you've got the believers who are pointing to the SEC case resolution and saying "See? We told you institutional adoption was coming!" These folks are already planning their yacht purchases and figuring out which Lambo color matches their personality.
On the other side, you've got the skeptics (and let's be honest, probably the smarter ones) who are screaming "SHOW ME THE RECEIPTS!" They're asking all the right questions like: Where's the actual Fox News segment? Why hasn't any other news outlet picked this up? And most importantly, why would the government suddenly decide to pay 17,000x market price for a cryptocurrency?
Look, we all want to believe in fairy tales where our bags moon to ridiculous levels, but this whole thing smells fishier than a week-old tuna sandwich. Until someone can produce the actual Fox News footage or literally any credible source backs this up, maybe don't quit your day job just yet. The XRP community has been through enough wild rides without chasing shadows that might not even exist.
