[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

A good reminder on how finance still works today… the Central Bank of Netherlands just spent months moving $11B in gold from New York to London.

~70% of it never actually left the ground. It was sold in NYC and repurchased in London. This reminded me of a story from 2013 – Germany took four years (!!) to move 674 tons of gold, worth $36 billion from vaults in Paris and New York.

In the 10+ years between those two stories, crypto went from a $1.5B experiment to a $2.7T asset class + financial infrastructure with real liquidity behind it. What didn't change: central banks (and a lot of the world frankly) still moving value the way they did in the 1940s.

Meanwhile self-driving cars are navigating city traffic, AI has transformed how we work, Starlink gives you internet access from just about anywhere in the world. But the best way to move value isn’t to actually move it? It’s confounding…

This an ideal use case for crypto - storing and then moving value instantly, securely, around the world, at little to no cost. How are people still fighting this?!

BREAKING: Iran has attacked a Singapore-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, per US officials.

The attack took place near the coast of Oman after the Iranian Navy warned ships not to use routes through Hormuz that have not obtained Iranian approval.

🔥BREAKING: Wall Street successfully tests 5-second Treasury settlements on the XRP Ledger.

A new cross-border tokenized redemption pilot was just completed by a powerhouse lineup:
🔹 JPMorgan
🔹 Mastercard
🔹 @OndoFinance
🔹 @Ripple
By cutting settlement times down from 3–5 business days to a mere 5 seconds, this test highlights the massive efficiency gains tokenization brings to traditional banking rails.

[Eleanor Terrett @EleanorTerrett]

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.

🚨BREAKING: Evernorth OFFICIALLY FILES S-4 to Go PUBLIC on NASDAQ Under Ticker “XRPN” 🤯🔥

@Evernorthxrp has now OFFICIALLY FILED its S-4 with the @SECGov, moving one step closer to becoming a PUBLICLY TRADED NASDAQ COMPANY built around $XRP exposure. 🚀

Evernorth is NOT doing a normal IPO. 👀

Instead, it is using a business combination / merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, a company that is already listed on Nasdaq under the ticker “XRPN.” 😳

So this is basically @Evernorthxrp using a listed shell / SPAC merger to become public faster — and bring its $XRP-focused TREASURY strategy onto @Nasdaq. 🔥

🚨 HUGE: 🇯🇵 JAPAN TO RECOGNIZE $XRP AS A REGULATED FINANCIAL ASSET

Japan is set to classify $XRP as a regulated financial product under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA) — targeting Q2 2026 implementation!

This shifts XRP from "crypto asset" to full investment status → clearer rules, stronger protections, and major institutional doors swinging open. 🌏

Concurrently, the nation is leveraging the XRP Ledger as the foundation of its emerging tokenized economy.

[Ripple @Ripple]

We’ve secured our preliminary Electronic Money Institution license approval from Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). 🇪🇺

This is a pivotal step toward scaling Ripple Payments across the EU, bringing institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure to the region. https://t.co/Q72ntwwjFB

The momentum is global:
→ 75+ licenses & registrations worldwide
→ $95B+ in volume processed to date
→ Reaching 90% of daily FX markets

With the EU taking the lead in building a regulatory framework for digital assets, we're helping institutions transition from pilots to commercial scale, and we’re bridging the gap between legacy finance and the digital future to unlock trillions in dormant capital.

[evernorthxrp @evernorthxrp]

We’ve entered a strategic collaboration with @doppler_fi to advance institutional liquidity and treasury use cases on the XRP Ledger. Together, we’re exploring structured frameworks for deploying XRP at scale.

Fresh ink being uploaded from Blackrock this morning
-485B iShares Trust

WHO:
iShares Trust
BlackRock ETF chassis

WHAT:
A Delaware legal opinion — confirming the trust exists, is in good standing, and can issue shares.

WHAT CAN LIVE IN HERE:
Anything the sponsor later designates as a series:
• spot exposure
• baskets
• indices
• digital assets
• yes — XRP (spot or basket)

ANALOGY:
This is an empty, permitted warehouse.
Zoned. Inspected. Utilities on.
No inventory inside yet.

WHAT ELSE WOULD BE REQUIRED:
• New series language
• Prospectus naming the asset
• Custody + pricing mechanics
• Creation/redemption rules

Same warehouse.
Different inventory.

TIMING:
Not a launch.
Not an approval.
Preparation for a change.

This is infrastructure kept warm so nothing slows things down when ready.

Institutions build the building first. Assets come later.

This is sequencing and how the plumbing actually works.
More to come—

🚨 BREAKING: SEC CHAIR JUST SAID IT LIVE ON FOX

THE BITCOIN & CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL IS ABOUT TO PASS. 🇺🇸

This is not a drill.

If this goes through:
• Clear rules for Bitcoin & crypto
• Institutional greenlight
• Banks + funds can finally scale in
• Capital walls come down → liquidity floods in

We’re not talking billions.
We’re talking TRILLIONS lining up at the door.

Crypto’s regulatory moment is here.
The money cannon is warming up.

[Ripple @Ripple]

Big News: @AMINABankGlobal is the first European bank to go live with Ripple Payments: https://t.co/dEEWtY2tsu

This partnership provides a crucial, compliant bridge between traditional fiat and blockchain rails, solving a major friction point for crypto-native clients who need efficient cross-border transactions.

This is the next step in our expanding relationship with AMINA Bank, building on their earlier adoption of RLUSD.

Our commitment to delivering secure, compliant, and resilient digital asset technology continues to advance the wider adoption of crypto in Europe and beyond!

[Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation @The_DTCC]

In an historic milestone, DTC received a No‑Action Letter from the SEC to tokenize certain DTC‑custodied assets. By leveraging blockchain, DTCC aims to bridge TradFi and DeFi, advancing a more resilient, inclusive and efficient global financial system.
