Vanguard’s entrance into crypto is a big deal.😶🌫️
Why?
Vanguard is one of the Big 3.☝️
BlackRock. State Street. Vanguard.✅
These three firms dominate passive and institutional money in America.
They control the majority of the ETF industry.💯
When they move, everything else eventually moves with them.🌊
BlackRock went first. They launched the spot Bitcoin ETFs. IBIT became the biggest vehicle in the space. That gave crypto product legitimacy and real institutional inflows.
And now Vanguard, renowned for its conservative stance among the Big 3, is boldly disclosing its commitments to crypto.🙇♂️
They want us to know they are serious about digital asset investing.🔑
Their actions, not their words, demonstrate this.
They are now opening access and hiring dedicated digital asset leadership faster than ever.💨
Every skeptical institution is watching from the sidelines.👀
If Vanguard is doing this, the argument “crypto is too risky for serious institutions” just lost its strongest talking point.🎯
Advisors who use Vanguard as their core platform no longer have an easy excuse to keep clients out. Small allocations across millions of accounts add up fast.😏
More skeptical firms will follow. They always do.
Pensions. Endowments. Insurance companies. Family offices. RIAs who waited for “someone credible” now have three of the biggest names in traditional finance with visible momentum.⏰

Canton's CEO defends a token that won't budge
$CC sits near $0.13, even though @CantonNetwork ran a reported $9 trillion in volume last month and took 42% of all tracked blockchain fee revenue in Q1.
Co-founder Yuval Rooz (@YuvalRooz) calls the price "painful" but says the thesis holds: over 9% of supply burned since inception, with real usage driving value, not speculation. Critics say the tokenomics are simply built to keep $CC flat.
NEW: $XRP becomes the first cryptocurrency to appear on the jersey of a major college athletics program.
@Ripple CEO @bgarlinghouse announces a partnership with his alma mater, the Kansas Jayhawks.
Public coordination on Flare. Private execution in the TEE.
Users and smart contracts start the flow; relayers augment and sign; the TEE verifies, runs logic, and signs back.
That's the Flare Confidential Compute flow.
Not surprised we surpassed this rapidly 1,000,000 agentic transactions via x402 on the XRP Ledger.
I believe we are uniquely positioned with our protocol design that fits very well what AI needs. Low cost infra, predictable fees, a native asset XRP that's listed everywhere and is liquid.
and of course a native Decentralized Exchange that lets you swap between assets 24/7 with no censorship.
Rare moment where my professional and personal worlds collide: XRP is now the first crypto on the jersey of a major college athletics program, at my alma mater.
XRP Family, meet the Jayhawks. Rock Chalk!
Clearstream Adds XRP, XLM To Crypto Custody
Clearstream has expanded its institutional crypto custody platform to include $XRP, $SOL, $ADA, $AVAX, $XLM and $LTC.
The move broadens its offering beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum as institutional demand for MiCA compliant digital assets grows.
The Deutsche Börse subsidiary provides custody and settlement infrastructure across more than 60 markets.
Clearstream (Deutsche Börse Group) just added XRP custody.
One of the world’s largest securities settlement giants just opened regulated vaults for XRP.
This de-risks XRP for institutions and turns it into a legitimate collateral and settlement asset.

Very bad research by the BIS.
Not all blockchains rely on token incentives for consensus on public permissionless chains.
Incentives are not the secret sauce to solve the double spend problem.
The XRP Ledger has no token incentives and has all attributes of good consensus.
