Liquid token thesis: $EPIC: arguably the cheapest $XRP beta on tier-1 exchanges. EPIC is one of the few small-cap alts that’s survived 2 full cycles. Launched as a collectibles marketplace (Ethernity / $ERN), it’s tested multiple models, worked with major celebs & brands, rebranded/repositioned more than once, and is now pushing a new product: an L2 for RWAs tightly tied to the $XRP ecosystem. What’s inside? - Tech/infrastructure built for Ethernity now expanded into a universal RWA solution. - Ready-to-use funnel for institutions, asset managers & licensed brokers to run regulated on-chain operations. - First consumer product: “Epic One” VISA crypto card: cashback in $XRP, no daily limits, available in 180+ countries. Why XRP? - Ripple was an early backer of Ethernal Labs (Ethernity’s parent co.). - XRP is one of the most recognized alts among US retail (and EPIC’s roots are 🇺🇸). - Ripple’s ecosystem is still underdeveloped vs other L1s — EPIC’s team is positioned to capture it. Collectibles/NFTs? - Legacy continues via @FanableApp is live now with tens of thousands of users, powered by EPIC’s stack & world-famous IPs. Token: - $EPIC at $65M FDV, listed on Binance, KuCoin, Bybit Perps + others. - All tokens in circulation; holder's hands changed multiple times; even leadership team changed. - Potential for new listings, esp. on exchanges that had $ERN. - At the intersection of RWA & L2 plays with XRP/US retail premiums $65M FDV leaves plenty of upside. Risks: - Multiple pivots can scare market participants (though in web2 it’s normal). - XRP-linked integrations may take time given Ripple’s corporate "by the book" approach. ---- DYOR/NFA. @Morningstar_VC is a large $EPIC holder.
