@BretWeinstein On Bill Maher's podcast she stated she didnt believe the moon landing was real, didnt present any real evidence to support her belief. Fine, people can believe what they want. However, she also had no clue there were additional moon landings. It tells me all I need to know

With today’s close of Hidden Road (now Ripple Prime), Ripple has announced 5 major acquisitions in ~2 years (GTreasury last week, Rail in August, Standard Custody in 2024, Metaco in 2023). As we continue to build solutions towards enabling an Internet of Value – I’m reminding you all that XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does. Lock in.

[Ripple @Ripple]

Introducing Ripple Prime: We’re pleased to share that our acquisition of Hidden Road is officially complete, making Ripple the first crypto company to own and operate a global, multi-asset prime broker – bringing the promise of digital assets to institutional customers at scale. https://t.co/bckqEHYm1V

I'm excited for Ripple and GTreasury to help corporates move money around the world faster, cheaper, 24/7/365, and actively manage and grow their money through safe, more efficient solutions. It's the Ripple platform put to work at the global corporate scale. The opportunity to unlock trillions $ in trapped capital for corporates is huge and ambitious and... did I say exciting!? Here we go.

[Ripple @Ripple]

We’re proud to announce @Ripple is acquiring treasury management leader GTreasury: https://t.co/HkEcy6htnK

The fusion of Ripple’s enterprise crypto solutions with GTreasury’s 40+ years of expertise immediately opens the multi-trillion-dollar corporate treasury market.

Learn how this move enables CFOs and treasurers to unlock idle capital and transfer funds instantly for the world's largest brands.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Today, Ripple is breaking into the $120T corporate treasury payments market with the $1B acquisition of GTreasury.

The past few years have reminded this industry why payments, first and foremost, is THE primary use case for crypto and blockchain. Payments are where Ripple first started for exactly these reasons – the infrastructure is complex, siloed and inefficient, but as we know, perfectly positioned to benefit from decentralized financial technologies.

Astounding amounts of cash are trapped in outdated payments systems, creating friction, unnecessary costs, and barriers to entering new markets. GTreasury has been serving some of the most well known brands for decades – and now together with Ripple, we’ll be able to help CFOs manage all their assets, include stablecoins, tokenized deposits, etc at scale around the world, as well as put their idle capital to work with repo markets via Hidden Road.

The opportunity is here, and we’re diving right in. It’s happening!

[David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz @JoelKatz]

As happens in one’s life, I’ve been taking stock of my last 40 years. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve gone from consulting for the NSA to watching the early stages of Bitcoin. Then, I met Arthur, Jed, and Chris and worked on coding the XRP Ledger. Now, I’ve spent more than 13 years at Ripple.

I can’t begin to explain the depth of my gratitude to this company, the people who work here, and the community that surrounds XRPL. It’s been one of the greatest honors and experiences of my life, second only to my amazing family.

The time has come for me to step back from my day-to-day duties as Ripple CTO at the end of this year. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with the kids and grandkids and going back to the hobbies I set aside. But be warned, I’m not going away from the XRP community. You haven’t seen the last of me (now, or ever).

The last few months I’ve been tinkering on the side – spinning up my own XRPL node and publishing its output data, researching other use cases for XRP (besides what Ripple is focused on), and more. I truly enjoy this part — getting my hands dirty, talking to builders, coding for the pure love of it — and I’m really excited to get back to that. More to come on this very soon, I’m sure.

But back to gratitude — to Brad and Monica — leaders who have been here nearly as long as I have, and are the very soul of Ripple itself. To Chris, who took a huge leap of faith and never wavered. To Arthur, who had the big ideas every time we needed them. To the RippleX team, ledger developers, community members, builders, and everyone else — it’s been an honor being in the trenches with you all. Thank you for everything you have done for the XRPL. I have total confidence in the next generation of leaders and builders – including Dennis Jarosch (Ripple’s SVP of Engineering) – and far too many others to name in the XRP community who will carry the torch.

I’ll still be in and out of the Ripple office as CTO Emeritus, and as my last task at Ripple, Chris asked me to join Ripple's Board of Directors to continue supporting the company’s mission and long-term vision...and I accept!

I look forward to seeing the rest of you at XRP community events around the world.

@NBSaphierMD He really needs to learn to let the experts do most of the talking when it to comes matters like health and science. I was listening to the press conference and some of his statements delegitimize honest and legitimate efforts to solve the problem

[X Finance Bull @Xfinancebull]

They laughed when we said Ripple ( $XRP ) would rival SWIFT 👇

Now CNBC is saying it live on air.
$XRP is setting up for trillions 🔥

Adoption’s here. Positioning is on you 🔑
Miss this run and you’ll regret it forever.
