US Stock listed company VivoPower is planning to acquire a $3 billion stake in Ripple Labs.

2025.12.18 13:26:10

**December 18 (CoinDesk) — Nasdaq-listed VivoPower is expanding its XRP-related strategy via a new joint venture, targeting a multibillion-dollar stake in Ripple Labs that would let investors indirectly hold nearly $1 billion in underlying XRP assets.** In a Tuesday press release, the company said its digital asset arm Vivo Federation has been tapped by Korean asset manager Lean Ventures to preliminarily pursue a $300 million Ripple Labs share acquisition. Based on current XRP price estimates, VivoPower calculates this stake equates to roughly 450 million XRP — valued at around $900 million. Notably, the deal does not involve direct XRP purchases. Lean Ventures plans to set up a dedicated investment vehicle to hold the Ripple shares acquired by Vivo Federation, with Korean institutions and eligible retail investors as target participants. VivoPower added it has secured Ripple’s approval to buy initial preferred shares and is currently in talks with existing institutional shareholders to acquire additional stakes.

CZ: Busy yet Fulfilling Days with Over 20 Meetings and Calls on Average, Indescribable Sense of Accomplishment

On February 11, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) told the All-In podcast in an interview that he has over 20 scheduled meetings or calls each day, plus ad-hoc tasks and social media responses. Though extremely busy, the work is highly meaningful—this sense of accomplishment has nothing to do with money or business growth and is hard to put into words. During the Biden administration, the U.S. government has alleged that groups like Hamas used Binance and the exchange failed to take adequate measures to address this. Discussions of related plea deals are subject to legal restrictions. The Biden administration is hostile to cryptocurrency, openly stating it intends to "fight against it." Policy changes under the Trump administration were positive for the U.S. and the world. The hostility toward crypto likely stems from fear of the new, as well as lobbying by the traditional financial industry. Binance operated smoothly between 2018 and 2020. In 2019, it launched a U.S. entity. A

CZ: Started first job at McDonald's at the age of 14 with an hourly wage of 5.5 CAD, began learning programming in high school

February 10th: Binance founder CZ shared on the All-In podcast: "At around 14, my first job was at McDonald’s. Back then, British Columbia’s minimum wage was $6 an hour—but thanks to a special exemption, McDonald’s only paid $5.50 an hour. "In high school, I started learning to code. When picking a university, I couldn’t decide between the University of Waterloo and McGill. A friend’s mom swayed me to choose McGill for biology, but I switched to computer science after one semester. "I avoided student loans by working summer and part-time jobs. My dad and sister helped me out early on, but I later became fully self-sufficient. In my 20s, I moved into business development."

U.S. Treasury Secretary: Fed Under Powell to Watch AI Impact on Jobs Closely

**Feb 10 (FXStreet) — U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Tuesday the Federal Reserve, under Trump-nominated Fed chair candidate Kevin Warsh, will closely monitor for any “time mismatch” between employment and productivity amid rapid artificial intelligence (AI) development.** **Speaking via video at an event hosted by Brazilian bank BTG Pactual, Yellen projected the U.S. economy will grow at an average 4.1% rate in the final three quarters of 2025, and noted this year’s nominal GDP growth (excluding inflation) could hit 6%.** **She added that historically, productivity booms have often paired with job growth — and the Fed will watch closely to ensure no such temporal mismatch occurs.**

YZi Labs Writes to CEA Industries Board: Requests Clarification of False News and Full Disclosure of Director's Related Party Transaction

On February 10, YZi Labs sent a letter to the board of CEA Industries, dismissing CEA’s claim of a "secret agreement" between the two parties as entirely false. The board was fully aware of the agreement—with legal counsel provided by Winston & Strawn—and board members Alexander Monie, Hans Thomas, and Namdar (then CEO of 10X Capital) were fully involved. The so-called "secrecy" is a misleading statement to the public, YZi Labs said. CEA’s demand to terminate the Strategic Services Agreement (SSA) is equally baseless, per the letter. YZi Labs terminated the SSA on December 11, 2025, and provided written notice to the CEA board on December 13. The SSA did not involve any payments and had no impact on negotiations for the 10X Asset Management Agreement. The CEA board is attempting to use an "investigation" as a cover-up for its inaction on the known facts, YZi Labs added. It is urging the board to immediately clarify its misleading statements, fully disclose Hans Thomas’ relevan
