The XRPL EVM Sidechain is now live with Ripple USD $RLUSD.
A key part of RLUSD's multichain expansion, the XRPL EVM Sidechain combines compatibility with existing EVM developer tooling while remaining closely connected to the XRP Ledger, helping meet growing demand from developers looking to build with XRP.
RLUSD has seen growing adoption across smart contract-based ecosystems, highlighting demand for regulated stablecoins within DeFi and multichain finance.
As $RLUSD becomes available across these environments, $XRP can increasingly serve as a complementary asset for liquidity, settlement, swaps, collateral, and payments, thereby strengthening the utility of XRP and RLUSD across supported chains.
This expansion is powered by @wormhole's NTT standard, enabling RLUSD to move natively across chains.

UK risks crypto "sakoku" as FCA rules threaten to wall off the country
The Solana Research Institute (@Solana_SRI) warns that the UK's 2026 cryptoasset regulations, set to take force in October 2027, will make basic blockchain participation uneconomic for UK firms. The piece compares the approach to Japan's 17th-century isolation policy.
Delegated and liquid staking would be regulated under the FCA, even though stakers' assets never leave their own wallets. Non-custodial wallet providers could be caught simply by offering software for signing transactions.
The UK's stablecoin exemption only covers UK-authorized stablecoins, excluding $USDC, $USDT, and almost every other major stablecoin in use.
The cost example is concrete. A mid-tier Solana validator earning $250K -$400K annually would face $70K -$170K in one-off authorization costs and 15-30% of revenue in annual compliance. Overseas providers will likely geofence UK users rather than register.
The EU, Switzerland, and the US all exempt non-custodial staking. UK regulators are now consulting on the perimeter guidance. The window to push back is open.
