About When Moon589
Fear & Greed readings, scenario models, and market context for XRP, XLM, ALGO, HBAR, and the rest of the ISO 20022 stack. Backed by data. Independent of every project we cover.
Who’s Behind This
When Moon 589 is published and operated by Pro Sulum LLC, a company based in Fresno County, California, USA. Same company named in our Terms and Privacy Policy: same accountability.
We publish under an organization byline, the When Moon 589 Editorial Team, rather than individual names. We don’t plaster individual bylines, because crypto is a space where personality cults get people wrecked. The byline names the publication, not a person, and we do not present any named expert as the author or reviewer of what you read here.
We are not Ripple, the XRP Ledger Foundation, Stellar, Algorand, Hedera, or any project we cover. The site is funded by Pro Sulum LLC, its publisher. It uses Google AdSense and may display ads. The weekly 589 Brief and the tools are free: nobody has to pay to read the data or subscribe. The inputs to our AI prompts are market data and our own coin profiles, never advertiser or sponsor material.
How We Research and Write
Research comes from public data sources. Prices and market data come from CoinGecko, the Fear & Greed Index from Alternative.me, and XRP Ledger account data from XRPScan. Coin profiles (consensus, throughput, partners, regulatory status) are curated by hand and kept in the site’s data files. The same public data you can dig into. We don’t have a back channel to Ripple and we don’t get early tips.
AI writes much of what you read here. The daily coin analysis, the Daily ISO 20022 Pulse, the Fear & Greed commentary, the head-to-head comparison verdicts, the scenario forecasts, and the one-sentence coin verdicts are generated by an AI model (an Anthropic Claude model, accessed through OpenRouter) from live market data and our coin profiles. Each of those blocks is labeled as AI output (“AI-generated”, “AI scenario” or “AI Verdict”). The text passes automated output filters, but no person reviews it before it is published, so it can be wrong. The details are in our Editorial Policy, Terms, and Privacy Policy.
Our scenario models are illustrative. The bull, base, and bear cases on the forecasts pages are regenerated each week by an AI model from the current price, 30-day change and market cap only. They are When Moon 589’s own illustrative scenarios: not a named analyst’s forecast and not a consensus call.
None of it is financial advice. Not the scenario models, not the Fear & Greed readings, not the calculators. Information for research and education only. You make your own decisions. Scenario forecasts are overwritten at each weekly refresh, and earlier versions are not archived. If you spot an error anywhere on the site, tell us (see Contact below) and we will correct it.

Why “589”?
589 is a legendary number in the XRP community. It started as a price target (the figure from a widely-shared 2017 scenario for where XRP could land if it captured a real slice of global settlement volume) and turned into a rallying cry. We dig into where it actually came from (and how speculative it is) on the 589 Theory page. For us, “589” is shorthand for the bet that ISO 20022-linked assets end up at the center of how money moves. We’re early. That’s the point.

If these standards are why you're here, the weekly 589 Brief is built on the same ones: price moves and ISO dominance for the 8 coins, every Monday, free.
