It’s official: Ripple has received its EU CASP license. We are now fully MiCA-compliant and ready to meet growing European crypto demand https://t.co/I9GRgvfGzH
Stablecoins are transforming how value moves, and interoperability is the key to institutional scale.
We're proud to join Open USD as a day-one integration partner, reinforcing Ripple's commitment to open, multichain infrastructure that supports institutional adoption across the digital asset ecosystem.
The future of payments will be multichain, interoperable, and built on institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure.
Our focus is simple: continue making the XRPL the leading blockchain for institutional payments – and a natural home for the next generation of key regulated stablecoins – while growing the utility and adoption of $RLUSD and $XRP around the world.
We're proud to announce that Ripple USD ($RLUSD) is now officially available in Japan, following approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA): https://t.co/ChkYMQ6kxW
Through our partnership with SBI Group and @sbivc_official, $RLUSD will be accessible to both institutional and retail users via the VCTRADE platform, serving as a bridge for payments, tokenization, and collateral management.
With $1.7 billion in market cap and a 10-year relationship with SBI, this is a significant milestone in advancing regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.
today, @ripple received preliminary MiCA approval to offer regulated crypto payment services across europe.
TLDR MiCA approval allows ripple to legally offer its crypto and stablecoin payment services to banks and businesses across Europe.
here's why it might be one of the most important milestones to date and what it means for the rest of crypto:
1/ MiCA is considered the "gold standard" for crypto regulation
approval is a major stamp of legitimacy, allowing a company to offer its financial services across the entire EU.
2/ regulators gave ripple a "green light letter"
this means ripple met their main requirements pending a few final conditions before a full license is granted.
3/ regulated crypto payments are coming!
the license enables ripple to offer financial infrastructure to european banks and businesses, allowing them to use ripple's tech (including its stablecoin $RLUSD).
this means institutions can finally use its tech to send money across borders in a legal and compliant manner.
needless to say, lock in.
More licensing momentum!
Ripple has secured its preliminary Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) license in Luxembourg, paving the way for the full rollout of Ripple Payments across the EEA and full MiCA compliance: https://t.co/maJOvuNehw
The next wave of regulated digital asset adoption in Europe is here and it’s powered by Ripple.
As AI agents begin transacting on behalf of businesses, payments need more than speed. They need trust, controls, and clear rules for how value moves.
We're helping build the infrastructure for trusted agent-driven payments, with the XRP Ledger and $RLUSD helping lay the foundation for the future of commerce.
We're pleased to be part of the ecosystem supporting @Mastercard's Agent Pay for Machines initiative, helping validate new use cases, establish common rules, and accelerate adoption.

DTCC and the Stellar Development Foundation announced today plans to enable the tokenization of DTC‑custodied assets on the @StellarOrg network. This collaboration advances DTCC’s multi chain strategy and expands how traditional assets move across digital ecosystems.
DTC‑tokenized assets are expected to be made available on the Stellar network in the first half of 2027, supporting the evolution of a more open, interoperable, and efficient financial ecosystem.

🚨JUST IN: The @federalreserve has issued a request for comment and notices of proposed rulemaking for payment accounts, also known as the “skinny master accounts” that would allow eligible fintech and crypto firms to gain access to the Fed’s payments system for clearing and settlement purposes.
It marks the next formal step in Governor Waller’s payment account implementation process, following the public comment period on the proposal itself that closed in February.
Notably, the Fed is also encouraging Federal Reserve Banks to temporarily pause decisions on new “Tier 3” master account access requests until no later than December 2026 (most crypto firms are considered Tier 3) while it finalizes the framework, in an effort, it says, to create more consistency across the system.
A landmark moment for tokenization.
The CLARITY Act has cleared the Senate Banking Committee, moving the U.S. closer to a clear framework for digital assets.
If signed into law, the CLARITY Act would:
→ Define digital assets in U.S. law
→ Clarify rules for tokenized assets
→ Unlock institutional participation
→ End years of regulatory uncertainty
→ Establish clear SEC and CFTC jurisdiction
The bill now heads to the full Senate, with House reconciliation and Presidential signature to follow.
The U.S. has led global finance for generations. If passed, this bill would help carry that leadership into the next evolution of markets, one defined by tokenization and digital assets.
The Senate Banking Committee is putting in the work as it moves the Clarity Act forward… incredible leadership!
Millions of Americans are already in this market. Ripple stands behind this bill because they deserve the same rules and protections as every other asset class. If the largest economy in the world is going to lead on crypto - and it must - this is the moment. Let's get it done!
@WatcherGuru@brian_armstrong Who is this fckr really working for and why does he have so much say on how things play out? I'm sorry is this not a 3rd party having a huge influence on what the market structure should look like?
