Ripple Set to Unveil Expanded XRP Markets Report as Institutional Demand Soars – What’s Coming Next?
Ripple is set to retire its current quarterly XRP Markets report format after Q2 2025, introducing new versions that will offer deeper insights into XRP’s growing institutional usage. This shift comes as Ripple recognizes the increasing demand from institutional investors, prompting a need for more detailed market data. The decision follows Ripple’s admission in its Q1 2025 report that the current format hasn’t had the intended impact, with the company’s transparency often being used against it, particularly by former SEC leadership. As institutional interest in XRP continues to rise, the revamped reports will include enhanced perspectives to better reflect the evolving market dynamics.
The Q1 2025 report also highlighted XRP’s impressive performance, with the token surging nearly 50% in February, outpacing Bitcoin and Ethereum amid market turbulence. XRP’s relative strength was underscored by a 10% rise in its ratio against BTC. Institutional interest was evident, with \$37.7 million in net inflows into XRP-based investment products, bringing the year-to-date total to \$214 million. This surge in interest also mirrored strong spot market activity, with average daily volumes around \$3.2 billion, and a sharp spike in price volatility during the quarter. Despite some slowdown in on-chain activity, XRP’s decentralized finance sector showed resilience, particularly through RLUSD, which surpassed a \$90 million market cap.
Cyriel Dessers Drops Bombshell Claim About Rangers’ DNA, Sparking Speculation on Two Key Manager Replacements for Barry Ferguson
There is no clear frontrunner to replace Philippe Clement as manager of Rangers, with Barry Ferguson currently holding the position on an interim basis. The decision on who will take over is expected to be influenced by the upcoming San Francisco 49ers takeover, which could play a key role in the club’s future direction. Additionally, Kevin Thelwell’s appointment as sporting director adds another layer of importance to the managerial decision, given his experience in hiring and firing.
Despite recent struggles, Cyriel Dessers has voiced his support for Ferguson, pointing to his ability to unite the team during a challenging period. Dessers emphasized that Ferguson’s deep understanding of the club’s DNA and his connection with the fans are significant advantages. Ferguson’s experience and leadership have been crucial in stabilizing the team, even though consistency has remained an ongoing issue. However, Dessers also acknowledged that while Ferguson’s knowledge of Rangers is a big positive, other potential candidates like Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat—both with strong ties to the club—could also be considered for the role.
Caught on Camera: Junior Firpo’s Cryptic Six-Word Message to Leeds United Chief Stuns Fans at Bus Parade
Junior Firpo was all smiles as Leeds United players celebrated their Championship title with an open-top bus parade on Monday, but beneath the jubilation, there was an important matter left unresolved: his contract. Despite his standout performances this season, which included four goals and ten assists, Firpo has yet to sign a new deal with the club ahead of the Premier League return.
During the parade, Firpo made a playful yet telling remark, captured on Jayden Bogle’s live Instagram video. The left-back was heard telling Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe, “send me the ting man,” seemingly urging for a contract resolution. His comments, made in the midst of a celebration, hint that talks are ongoing, and Leeds fans will be hoping for good news, as Firpo has proven himself to be a key asset in their promotion to the top flight.
The Clock is Ticking: When the Truth About Josh Windass’ Sheffield Wednesday Future Will Finally Be Unveiled
Josh Windass’ future at Sheffield Wednesday remains cloaked in uncertainty as the club heads into what could be a pivotal summer. With his contract nearing its end and speculation linking him to a move abroad, including interest from Brazilian side Santos, the forward has kept his cards close to his chest. “You never know in football,” Windass said following the final-day draw at Watford, where his goal secured his place as the club’s top scorer since the turn of the century. While discussions with the club have reportedly been ongoing since November, Windass hinted that clarity may soon arrive — perhaps even in a forthcoming documentary chronicling his recent journey. “I’m sure all will be revealed on there,” he added with a grin.
Sunderland’s £325k Gamble Pays Off Big — Unleashes a Relentless Goal Machine
When Kevin Phillips joined Sunderland from Watford in 1997 for just £325,000, few could have predicted the impact he would make. What started as a modest signing quickly turned into one of the greatest bargains in the club’s history. A natural goal scorer with an unshakable focus, Phillips not only fired the Black Cats back into the Premier League but stunned the football world by scoring 30 top-flight goals in the 1999/2000 season. That incredible haul earned him both the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Shoe—making him the first and only Englishman to claim the latter. Though the wider footballing world may have overlooked his achievement, Sunderland fans still speak his name with reverence. Phillips didn’t just play for the club—he became a legend.

Rangers Set Their Sights on ‘One of the Best Young English Managers’—Is This the Game-Changer They’ve Been Waiting For?
Steven Gerrard is reportedly the top candidate to become the next permanent manager of Rangers, following a turbulent season for the club. Despite a strong run in the Europa League, Rangers’ domestic campaign has been disappointing, with their arch-rivals Celtic clinching both the Premiership title and the League Cup. A shocking exit in the Scottish Cup, following a defeat to Queen’s Park, further soured the season.
With Philippe Clement sacked in February due to inconsistency, former midfielder Barry Ferguson has taken over on an interim basis. Rangers are now looking to appoint a permanent manager, and it seems they are eyeing a reunion with Gerrard, who previously led the club to its first Scottish Premiership title in a decade, remaining unbeaten throughout the season.
Since leaving Rangers in 2021 for Aston Villa, Gerrard’s managerial career has seen mixed results, including a brief and unsuccessful stint in Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, his knowledge of the club and past success make him a strong contender for the role. Rangers fans still hold Gerrard in high regard, and with him currently out of work, his return to Ibrox could be a natural fit.
