Kansas is slated to announce a five-year deal with digital finance company Ripple that will feature XRP cryptocurrency patches across all athletic uniforms, @SBJ has learned.

Sources suggest it’s among the most lucrative college jersey patch deals to date.

3 continents, 4 global office visits, 5 days. Crossed too many time zones to count...
Recently, @MonicaLongSF and I (along with others on the Ripple leadership team) traveled to Dublin, London, Singapore and Sydney to meet with the Ripple Team (many of whom joined from our acquisitions of GTreasury, Hidden Road, Rail, Palisade and Solvexia).

A few notes from the road -
1/ centers of gravity (business and/or employee) are never stagnant, and getting out of the US coastal mindset is imperative. It was incredibly energizing to hear from new and longtime Ripplers on what moves the needle where they are.

2/ Culture cannot be taken for granted. More than ever, we’re championing a maniacal focus and eliminating bureaucracy for employees to be owners. Don’t confuse activity with progress.

3/ Adoption doesn’t happen overnight. Platforms > point solutions. Meet customers where they are, not where they might be in a couple years.

4/ AI is becoming a fundamental part of our products – especially in cash forecasting and liquidity management in real-time for the office of the CFO. Employee productivity may be where AI starts, but the end goal is much bigger.

5/ 2026 is shaping up to be another defining year. We’re in the right markets with the right capabilities across payments, custody, liquidity and treasury management. There's a huge opportunity ahead, and we are making sure XRP is at the center of it.

Happy belated New Year! I just hit send on Ripple’s quarterly shareholder email. To say that 2025 (and Q4) were successful for Ripple feels like saying @TomBrady was just a great quarterback!! (#theGOAT)

Our two major acquisitions - Ripple Prime and GTreasury - greatly accelerate and expand our ability to deliver on our vision, enabling the Internet of Value. XRP has been (and will continue to be) the heartbeat of that vision.

With truly the most comprehensive licensing portfolio (and now today UK’s EMI license added) we are poised to make 2026 even more consequential.

Building and using crypto infrastructure, updating our global financial plumbing, and rethinking legacy systems – none of this happens overnight. At Ripple, we’re going to continue taking the long view of what crypto-based assets – like XRP and RLUSD – can do, rather than chasing cycles and hype.

Bring on 2026. We are firing on all cylinders. It’s happening!

Hey @NYCMayor - I responded to your tweet yesterday with a few constructive suggestions as you enter office.

It looks like you hid the reply after it got substantial support.

Hopefully I am wrong about that, but multiple people have confirmed they can no longer see the reply.

You ran your campaign on transparency and working for the people of New York. It doesn't seem transparent or helpful to hide the replies of residents who are engaging in conversation with you.

Here is the screenshot so everyone can see what I said.

@bgarlinghouse This is awesome to see all the momentum happening with XRP, the inflows into the ETFs, the apparent institutional adoption, the hype on utility, and everything else positive happening…but why is the XRP price continuing to go down?

[Travis Kelce Photos @The_Daily_Chief]

All the haters wanted us to miss the playoffs for years… and now that it finally happened, they’re realizing 1 bad season will never erase the most dominant 6-year run in NFL history. 😬😅

They can say whatever they want but they can’t change the past, and that infuriates them!

[Chris Mandernach @ChrisMandernach]

@ChiefsfanCHI23 Agreed…and this season isn’t over yet either.
