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!

Today, we’re publishing a new XRP Ledger Standard for AMM v2.

New pool curves StableSwap & Concentrated Liquidity increase capital efficiency and stabilize pricing for stablecoins, FX markets, RWAs and beyond on the XRPL DEX.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Senate Banking Committee officially advances crypto clarity bill in bipartisan vote.

[Bernie Moreno @berniemoreno]

🚨 The banking cartel is in full panic mode. 🚨

While Americans were celebrating Mother’s Day with their families, the CEO of the American Bankers Association sent a frantic alert to every bank CEO in the country, demanding “immediate engagement” to lobby Senators and kill stablecoins that would finally let everyday Americans earn real yields on their own money.

This line in the letter sticks out: “we believe committee members may not be fully aware of the risks to the economy by the stablecoin loophole.” That’s both intellectually dishonest and simultaneously demeaning. First, there is no “loophole.” This entire issue was litigated during the GENIUS Act debate. @BillHagertyTN worked tirelessly on this issue and this statement is an insult to his and others work.

For decades, these banks have treated your deposits like their personal piggy bank, paying you next to nothing while lending YOUR money out for massive profits and executive bonuses.

During the Biden era, these same banks worked hand-in-glove with @SenWarren and her allies to debank Americans, including President Trump’s own family. They shut down accounts of conservatives, patriots, and anyone who dared challenge the regime, all while regulators applied pressure under schemes like Operation Choke Point 2.0. It wasn’t about risk. It was about political control.

Now that innovative stablecoins threaten to break their monopoly and give you actual financial freedom? They’re running to Congress again, screaming about “threats to economic growth and financial stability.”

Translation: Protect the racket at all costs.

The Senate Banking Committee votes on landmark crypto legislation this Thursday.

As a member of that committee, my message is clear:

Hands off the people’s money. Let Americans choose real competition and better returns. No more shielding Wall Street from the future. The banking elite’s days of rigging the system and debanking their political enemies are over. Innovation, freedom, and the American people will win.

I’m voting to break the cartel.

[Mastercard @Mastercard]

Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.

Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

[Ripple @Ripple]

This is a meaningful step toward 24/7 global financial markets.

By combining the XRP Ledger with global banking infrastructure, this pilot shows how institutions can execute cross-border transactions in a single integrated flow.

[Ondo Finance @OndoFinance]

Ondo, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, @Mastercard, & @Ripple successfully completed a landmark pilot transaction connecting the XRP ledger with interbank settlement rails.

This milestone marks the first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time and outside traditional banking windows.

1. Ondo processed Ripple’s OUSG redemption on XRP Ledger

2. Mastercard's Multi-Token Network routed instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan

3. J.P. Morgan delivered USD to Ripple's Singapore bank account

Tokenized assets are no longer separate from the global financial system. For the first time, a public blockchain and global banking infrastructure settled a cross-border transaction of a tokenized fund together in real time.

Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

[Blockchain Backer @BCBacker]

Rational people rarely make statements like this for attention.

Pomp founded ProCap Financial ($BRR), a Bitcoin Treasury in June 2025, purchasing $350 million+ of Bitcoin at ~$104,000 per BTC. The fund has incentive for you to believe the crypto market will die except Bitcoin.

An extremely pointed message from @POTUS to those who are dragging their feet on CLARITY.

This is, and always has been, about what’s in the best interest of the American people.

In 6 hours, the "PermissionedDomains" amendment goes live. 🥳

Will this be enough for Ripple Payments to utilize the XRPL DEX?

👉 Nope

We still need Permissioned DEX. 😅

Only one piece of the puzzle is missing!

[Ripple @Ripple]

RLUSD is expanding to Layer 2s using @wormhole’s NTT standard for native, secure transfers and will become the first U.S.-based, trust-regulated stablecoin on @Optimism, @Base, @Inkonchain and @Unichain: https://t.co/P3NyGdu5xu

This will enhance utility for XRP and RLUSD by creating premier liquidity pairs with wrapped XRP (wXRP) across these chains.

The multichain future is accelerating.
