XRP and Dogecoin ETF rulings delayed – SEC sets June 17 deadline
SEC punted on XRP and DOGE ETFs until mid-June.
XRP's market position was relatively strong, but DOGE was yet to reverse its downtrend.
On the 20th of May, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delayed a decision on Grayscale's spot Ripple [XRP] and Dogecoin [DOGE] ETF (exchange-traded funds).
The regulator asked for additional time to review the applications and solicit public comments until the 17th of June.
In April, the agency extended the deadline for similar applications for Bitwise DOGE ETF and Franklin Templeton's XRP ETFs to mid-June.
According to Bloomberg's ETF analyst James Seyffart, the delays were expected, underscoring that the earlier approval could happen in late June or early Q4 2025.
'I wouldn't expect to see them until late June or early July at absolute earliest…More likely to be in early 4Q. Almost all of these filings have final due dates in October.'

Market reactions
ETF Stores' Nate Geraci, another ETF specialist, echoed Seyffart's stance and said ,
'SEC delays several decisions today on spot XRP & DOGE ETFs, along with staking in ETH ETFs…Nothing to see here IMO.'
From a market point of view, most speculators expected the DOGE and ETF approvals to happen by the end of the year, according to a +50% approval chance on Polymarket.
For XRP ETF, the odds were at 84% while the expectation for a DOGE ETF greenlight was at 63%. Interestingly, for XRP, the update didn't stir much change in market positioning, especially from the supply angle.
Notably, exchange reserves on Binance have dropped from 2.9 billion to 2.8 billion XRP in the past week. This meant eased selling pressure from the exchange.

On the contrary, the April recovery spiked sell pressure from 2.7B to 2.9B XRP tokens. So, the ETF delay didn't trigger sell pressure from holders at press time.

For DOGE, however, its early May recovery lost some steam. The early May pump was followed by a sharp surge in transfer volume from $500M to over $1 billion.

Since mid-May, total transfer volume, dropped from over $1B to $560 million. This meant the upward traction eased slightly and was yet to bounce back decisively even after the SEC delay.
On the price chart, DOGE's short-term downtrend was still strong. But if broken, especially if BTC makes a new ATH, the memeocin could rally to $0.27.

The Washington Post Is Secretly Planning to Start Publishing Articles Created Using AI
As the news media continues its often-disastrous pivot towards generative artificial intelligence, the most prominent publication yet has jumped on board: the Washington Post, it turns out, has quietly been building an AI tool designed to let underqualified writers publish content in its storied pages. According to multiple sources familiar with the plan who spoke to the New York Times, since April the newspaper has been secretly building a program known as "Ripple" that appears to be part syndication, part talent network akin to contributor schemes at HuffPost and Forbes. The biggest difference from those prior contributor networks and this one, though, is the way the sausage will be made. Along with partnerships with established writers, the new program will employ an "AI writing coach" called "Ember" designed to guide "nonprofessionals" through the article-writing process. That tool will, per early prototypes described to the NYT, hand-hold aspiring columnists through every aspect of the writing process from start to finish. Its sidebar will instruct writers to devise an "early thesis," list out "supporting points," and provide a "memorable ending" — all while a live AI chatbot weighs in and a "story strength" tracker evaluates their progress. At the end of it all, a human editor is said to review the columns before they go to publication — though in practice, similar promises have often ended in disaster, like at CNET, which promised that editors were reviewing the scores of AI-generated articles it ran before it turned out they were riddled with errors and plagiarism. Though the outputs from WaPo's program wouldn't be entirely generated by AI, it sounds like everything but. And in practice, as we've seen time and again, the temptation with AI is to use it not as a thoughtful creative partner but as a speedrunning tool to churn out large quantities of low-quality material, or to cook up something that sounds confident but is shaky on the undergirding facts and logic. In other words, it sounds like the program could be poised to take everything that's currently broken and controversial about newspaper opinion sections and amplify it using generative AI. WaPo declined to provide comment for the NYT's exposé. It's worth noting that the NYT has been putting significant resources of its own into exploring how AI can be responsibly used in journalism — but while it's using certain machine learning tools for tasks like finding patterns in large datasets, it's pledged not to use generative AI to write any articles. The revelation also comes during a period of broader crisis at WaPo, with significant layoffs coming as its owner Jeff Bezos has increasingly exerted control over the content and ideological leaning of the paper's journalism. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, eat your heart out. More on AI writing: Business Insider Did Something So Stupid With AI That We're Reeling

Warren to meet with Linda McMahon, who she criticized for giving Trump ‘a blank check to destroy American public education'
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Among the points of contention Warren raised were the scale and impact of layoffs at the Department of Education, the wisdom of shifting department functions to other federal government agencies, Biden-era education policy decisions, the quality of public information about department functions, and the impacts of Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' on Americans with student loan debt. Advertisement Warren also requested answers to a total of 66 questions, some of which contained multiple parts. Question topics included access to student aid, impacts of reductions in force, loan repayment, and customer service. Advertisement 'Your letter tries to dismiss legitimate criticism of your policies as 'hyper-political narratives,' but it is neither partisan nor 'hyper-political' to raise the real harms to the American people caused by your actions at the Department of Education,' Warren wrote. 'Instead of continuing to avoid accountability for your policies, I urge you to listen to the voices of students, borrowers, and families around the country and stop giving DOGE and Donald Trump a blank check to destroy American public education.' The Department of Education did not respond to request for comment. The meeting comes nearly a week after McMahon testified in front of the Senate appropriations committee where she fielded a slew of questions from Democrats concerned about the state of the Department of Education.

White House responds to the latest Elon Musk jab
It appears that some distance from Washington, D.C. has given Tesla CEO Elon Musk some clarity about President Donald Trump and his economic agenda. Trump has repeatedly said that balancing the budget was one of his top priorities. In fact, during a recent cabinet meeting, he said that his drive to balance the federal budget was one of the main reasons he won so handily last November. The Department of Government Efficiency was supposed to be a big part of that drive. Related: Trump decision leaves Elon Musk in a serious bind In the same meeting, Musk bemoaned the $2 trillion annual deficit the U.S. government is running, noting that the debt's interest payments exceed the annual U.S defense budget. But that cabinet meeting was three months ago, and since then, a lot has changed about the president's priorities, as well as Musk's. The number one mission on the White House agenda right now is getting the federal spending budget passed by the Republican controlled Congress. Trump has described his bill as big and beautiful, but the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office says it would increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion over the next decade. There aren't enough DOGE cuts in the world to pay for extending the Trump tax cuts while increasing entitlement and defense spending. Trump's claim that tariffs would help balance the budget has also proven specious. Musk recently left his post as the head of DOGE, returning to his work at Tesla and SpaceX. He is using his newfound freedom to speak up. Image source:After being fully in the tank for Trump, Musk has begun exercising his free speech about his recent disagreements with the administration. Last week, he told CBS, "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing." Musk once made it a point to sport a red hat that read 'Trump Was Right About Everything,' but now he says he is a free thinker. "It's not like I agree with everything the administration does...I mean, I agree with much of what the administration does, but we have differences of opinion on the things that I don't entirely agree with," Musk told CBS. Related: Elon Musk explains DOGE mission, takes shot at government On Tuesday, he took his criticism a step further. "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it, you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk tweeted out. Musk tweeted that Tuesday afternoon before the daily scheduled White House press briefing, which gave Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt a chance to respond on behalf of the White House. Leavitt, who has had no issue being combative with people who have questioned the administration in the past, took a more respectful tone with Musk. "The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn't change the president's bill. This is one big, beautiful bill, and he's sticking to it," Leavitt said. The budget isn't the only issue where the White House and Musk clash. In early April, Musk went after Trump Senior Advisor Peter Navarro over tariffs, before Navarro returned fire and Trump backed Navarro. Since then, Musk's criticisms have been more muted. It's something he acknowledged in the CBS interview. "It's difficult for me to bring that up in an interview, because it creates a buildup of tension. So I'm stuck in a bind where I don't want to speak up against the administration, but I also don't want to take responsibility for everything the administration is doing," he said.
