The XRPL Punks collections also dubbed Xpunks was created as a homage to the already legendary non-fungible CryptoPunks collectibles. It is also one of the hottest NFT collections on the XRP Ledger.

After the application of the much-awaited XLS-20 amendment to the XRP Ledger this fall, Xpunks have traded a total of 1.78 million XRPs so far.

Another most-popular collection on the XRP ledger is a reference to the legendary NFT collection, the Bored Ape Yacht Club. Dubbed as the Bored Ape XRP Club, it ranks second after Xpunks, with a turnover of 866,533 XRP.

Ripple’s Push for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

Ripple is playing in the NFT space and has launched a $250 million Creator’s Fund to bring big NFT projects to the XRP Ledger. Earlier this month, Ripple partneredwith Ethereal Labs to bolster the Web3 ecosystem by bringing NFTs and crypto assets to the masses via the XRP Ledger, custom partnerships, and collaborations.

The goal behind this partnership is to boost Ripple’s NFT strategy and thus bring NFTs to a larger audience.

While Ripple continues to lock horns with the U.S. SEC over the securities battle for XRP, the company has continued to work on other aspects of its ecosystem. However, this ongoing legal battle with the SEC could be playing a spoilsport for Ripple as of now.

As we know, Ripple has been pitching its XRP solutions to banks for instant cross-border settlements worldwide. Banking giant JPMorgan which is actively working on blockchain solutions, however, chose MATIC and AAVE to settle USD to JPY forex transactions.

Upon this development, crypto influencer Lark Davisquestionedthe value proposition for XRP. CryptoLaw founder John Deaton responded to it stating that the fact the XRP continues to be in the top ten digital assets despite all odds speaks about its success. He also lashed out at Davis for undermining XRP just because JPMorgan chose other digital assets.

In another win, Australia’s biggest financial conglomerate CommBank, said that they would be usingRipple’s XRP Standardfor cross-border payments.

The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.

Alex in Wonderland
A figure, Alex, stands mostly naked in the midst of a physical and psychological maelstrom. He is clad only in nostalgic 80’s era socks, on a tenuous island between active waters and a variety of shark denizens. Sharks on the right side of the image are all beached, including a shark with a quartz crystal snout, an orange shark wrapped in a life buoy, and a shark further in the distance wearing an 80’s style shirt with the number “88”. On the left side is the largest shark, wearing bright glossy red lipstick and brandishing prominent teeth with braces. She is cordoned off from the figure by a roped float divider, and within her thought bubble is a warning symbol. Behind the figure, hovering in the air, are Grey aliens emerging from the distance, out of a series of elliptical UFO shaped interdimensional membranes. The Greys take on the visual form of spermazoa ostensibly impregnating the interdimensional thresholds. As is typical, these Greys inhabit a zone just behind the unconscious topology of Alex’s dissociative mind. Though Alex’s bottom half is representative, his top half mutates into a psychological cornucopia. In a manner akin to “Auto-Erotic Sphinx”, a predecessor work, the figure has self suctioned—an act of sensual infatuation, enjoyment, and exploration. Upward exists the figure’s primary conscious eye, adorned with a revolutionary beret emblazoned with a Bitcoin badge. The figure’s summit features the nose of a fighter jet facing off against video game Bullet Bills, one of whom is marked by a communist North Korean star. A cropped section of a UFO observes the contest. Alex’s mind branches both left and right. To the left is more singular embodied consciousness, manifesting two eyes and a Ganesh trunk grasping crayons. The right branch dissociates upward diagonally, emerging into an array of eyes, faces, teeth, tail, a unicorn horn, and much more—all of which participate in expressing his unconscious being; a democracy of psychic factions representing thought impressions and associations. All illumination and darkness– fernal, infernal, high consciousness and corporeal underbelly–reside in this realm. In the distance are relatively languid, light clouds, and against the firmament hovers a colossal distant eye peering over the scene and far beyond. This painting possesses underlying genetic traits with previous works such as “Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys”, “Dionysus”, and “Fuku-Shiva”. The work serves also as a nod to an earlier period of art inspiration during late teens and early twenties— born out of the nakedness, vulnerability, curiosity, and wonder inherent to coming of age and all subsequent psychedelic revelation.
