Anthony, the host behind the Wall Street Bull show, put Mastercard’s reported participation in an XRP Ledger hackathon at the center of a broad crypto briefing that also covered Bitcoin’s sharp rebound, VeChain’s sudden price move and the slow progress of U.S. market-structure legislation.
According to the host, Mastercard is expected to join a 36-hour XRP Ledger hackathon in New York beginning October 24, ahead of Ripple’s Swell conference the following week. The event is said to include development tracks for protocol innovation, agentic finance, and lending and borrowing.
Mastercard mention adds to XRP’s institutional narrative
The host described Mastercard’s involvement as “very, very bullish” arguing that it could bring more developer attention to the XRP Ledger. The video did not provide a Mastercard statement or further details on the company’s specific role in the event.

XRP was cited at roughly $1.42 on the presenter’s watchlist, while a separate price-analysis segment referred to XRP holding near $1.45 and identified $1.65 as a potential breakout level. That discrepancy was not addressed in the video. The host said traders remain focused on whale positioning, liquidation pressure and whether XRP can clear resistance near $1.60.
He also highlighted a reported $28 million in XRP held across ETF-related products from Bitwise, Franklin and Canary, though no source documentation was shown during the segment.
Bitcoin rebound and Clarity Act process remain key market signals
Bitcoin was presented as trading just below $80,000, following what the host described as a roughly 26% weekly advance. He cited chart commentary suggesting Bitcoin had broken above its 200-day moving average with immediate follow-through, a technical development often watched as confirmation of a breakout.
Market conditions were described as “extreme greed,” with the CoinMarketCap fear-and-greed reading at 80 and reported daily ETF inflows of $412 million. Tony nevertheless cautioned viewers against leverage, noting that rapid crypto gains can reverse just as quickly.
On regulation, the video focused on a planned September 15 Senate cloture vote tied to the Clarity Act. The host stressed that the vote would begin a legislative process rather than deliver final passage, with amendments and further votes still required.
