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.
$RLUSD is institutional-grade infrastructure for payments and tokenization.
Through @wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT), $RLUSD can now move natively across multiple blockchain ecosystems, supporting cross-border payments, institutional on/off-ramps, and tokenization use cases.
For developers and institutions building onchain, that expands access to compliant, USD-backed liquidity across supported networks.
🚨NEW: A group of pro-crypto senators is pressing U.S. banking regulators to establish capital requirements for banks’ crypto activities.
In a new letter, @SenatorHagerty, @SenDanSullivan, @SenLummis, @berniemoreno, @SenJonHusted and @SenTedBuddNC argue that the Basel Committee’s 2022 capital framework effectively functioned as a ban on banks holding digital assets on their balance sheets with a 1,250% risk weight for assets like bitcoin, and that regulators should adopt a new U.S. framework that is more balanced.
The senators point to regulators’ March guidance that tokenized securities should receive the same capital treatment as their underlying assets and argue the same tech neutral principle should apply more broadly to digital assets.
The push comes as Congress considers the Clarity Act, which would authorize banks to engage in a broader range of digital asset activities, raising questions about whether current capital rules are compatible with that framework. It also comes as global regulators revisit the Basel crypto capital standards.
The CME just went 24/7 for crypto derivatives.
Most read it as a convenience upgrade. I think it's evidence that the market expectations crypto-native infrastructure has been setting are now reshaping & pushing regulated finance into the future.

14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.
And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.
I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.
Happy Birthday, XRP!
The crypto market just humbled every “crypto influencer” who kept inventing new narratives to attract inexperienced investors at the very top of the cycle.

This is another step in the process and does not necessarily signal that a Senate floor vote is imminent. Specifically, it’s a committee report for the bill, which adds on all the amendments that passed during the @BankingGOP markup into the latest text of the bill.
Note: It’s not yet merged with the Ag text, which will likely happen in a manager’s amendment on the floor.
24/7 regulated crypto futures and options trading are here through @CMEGroup, and Ripple Prime is a day-one clearing partner.
Institutional demand meets institutional infrastructure.
Built for always-on markets.

For decades, retail investors have paid 1–2% per year to advisors who picked their funds, rebalanced their portfolio, and called them back when they had questions.
AI could drive the cost of rebalancing significantly lower.
