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!

FINAL CLARITY ACT STABLECOIN YIELD TEXT IS PUBLIC, PASSIVE REWARDS BANNED, ACTIVITY-BASED REWARDS PROTECTED

The final stablecoin yield text in the CLARITY Act is now public, ending months of standoff between banks and the crypto industry, per Punchbowl News.

The compromise from Sens. Tillis (R) and Alsobrooks (D) bans rewards "economically or functionally equivalent" to deposit interest. Activity-based rewards tied to payments, transfers, and real platform usage stay protected. The structure closes affiliate workarounds by design.

Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad (@faryarshirzad) framed the outcome as a win on what mattered: "the ability for Americans to earn rewards, based on real usage of crypto platforms and networks." Banks got tighter restrictions on yield. Crypto kept the activity rails open.

The final text emerged from months of negotiation between the White House, Treasury, Senate Banking GOP, Tillis, and Alsobrooks. Senate Banking Committee markup is targeted for mid-May, lining up with Sen. Scott's "in the red zone" comments yesterday.

Remaining issues to resolve: DeFi provisions, ethics language for executive branch officials, and reconciliation with the House-passed version.

🚨 We're launching an Alberta independence campaign — and this is why we had to do it

We’re going 'all in' on the independence referendum on October 19.

I have major news to share with you.

We are officially launching Act For Alberta — a legally registered third-party campaign group supporting the Alberta independence petition drive, which is ending on May 2, 2026.  When Alberta independence goes to a referendum later this Fall, Act for Alberta will also be there.

"Third party" doesn't mean we're forming a political party. Think of it as a SuperPAC: the same kind of organization we've set up federally for past elections. In Alberta, this registration is the only legal path for us toadvertise in support of Alberta independence, both during the petition drive, and during this Fall’s referendum. If we don't register, Elections Alberta can — and will — prosecute us.

So: reason number one is legal protection. Act for Alberta will advocate fearlessly in favour of the Yes campaign, you know the bureaucrats would come for us otherwise.

Reason number two is that the mainstream media, and the entire establishment — every major political party, every major media outlet, every union, every TV talk show — is going to go to war against Alberta. Alberta is about to be overrun by pro-Liberal, pro-Carney, anti-Alberta propaganda. Someone needs to fight back.

Reason number three is even more simple: we genuinely believe in this independence referendum, and we believe Albertans should have their say.

Two weeks ago, a citizens' petition with more than 170,000 signatures was submitted to trigger a constitutional referendum on Alberta independence. I love the idea of a referendum.

Let the people speak!

There are issues that politicians refuse to touch because they're too scared or politically correct — and Alberta independence is exactly the kind of thing ordinary people talk about privately that official people are terrified to mention publicly. Now, ordinary people get a vote, even if politicians are afraid.

This is your chance to be part of it.

Please visit our website at https://t.co/D3W7s3J955 right now to learn more and find out how you can help — before this campaign really heats up.

Here’s what's at stake.

Quebec has had two independence referendums — the last one came within 0.5% of passing — and no one called them traitors for it. The Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed these votes are legal. Parliament passed the Clarity Act specifically to govern how such a vote works.

And yet when Albertans ask for the same democratic remedy, the regime media calls it treason, and government lawyers line up to say why only Quebec gets those votes, not Albertans.

Why the double standard?

Because the establishment makes a very good living off Alberta, and they will say and do anything to protect that arrangement. Alberta sends $20 billion a year to Ottawa — only to have its pipelines blocked, its oil tankers banned (while OPEC tankers sail freely into eastern ports), and its workers ruled out of senior federal jobs for not speaking French.

Here's the question I keep coming back to: if Alberta were its own country today, would it vote to join Ottawa on these terms? I doubt it.

Visit https://t.co/D3W7s3J955 to see how we're going to make that case.

https://t.co/D3W7s3J955 is going to fight on the Yes side using real professional campaign tools:
TV ads, digital ads, our billboard truck, and public events. Because every powerful institution in Canada has already lined up against this referendum.

Alberta needs a fearless, unapologetic voice on the other side. That's us.

We need your help. Please go to https://t.co/D3W7s3J955 to join us.

The independence referendum is October 19th, barely six months away. Elections Alberta bureaucrats would love nothing more than to prosecute Rebel News for daring to speak up during this campaign. So we registered Act For Alberta as a third-party campaign group. Now they can't touch us. We're going all in - stand with us.

This is the exact playbook Quebec used — twice. The separatist Bloc Québécois has sat in Parliament for decades and no one blinks. The Parti Québécois is currently leading the polls in Quebec. But when Albertans ask for the same democratic conversation, the regime calls it treason. That double standard is exactly why this referendum matters — and why we're fighting for it.

Alberta sends $20 billion to Ottawa every year. In return: blocked pipelines, cancelled LNG projects, banned oil tankers, and sneers at us because they think Alberta has nowhere else to go. Well, now Alberta does have somewhere else to go. The U.S. has already said they'd buy Alberta oil if Alberta were independent.

HUGE news! @Ripple just received conditional approval from the @USOCC to charter Ripple National Trust Bank. This is a massive step forward - first for $RLUSD, setting the highest standard for stablecoin compliance with both federal (OCC) & state (NYDFS) oversight.

To the banking lobbyists – your anti-competitive tactics are transparent. You’ve complained that crypto isn’t playing by the same rules, but here’s the crypto industry – directly under the OCC's supervision and standards – prioritizing compliance, trust and innovation to the benefit of consumers. What are you so afraid of?

#XRP – ⚔️ Weakness? Or Just Testing the Faith of Bulls? 💎

Lately, I’ve seen many #XRP Bulls turning #Bearish 😔, frustrated by the sideways chop and the boring price action. They say things like “I see weakness on the HTF.”

Let me tell you what I see 👁️‍🗨️:
I see traders chickening out, scared to lose their 10x gains. And that’s fine , protecting profits is smart. 💰
But don’t start selling fear to others just because you’re uncertain. If you sell, do it with your own reasons, not because of boredom or pressure. ⚖️

History says:
If #XRP doesn’t soon print a massive white/green/blue candle style like in 2017 or 2021, targeting $10 to $37, then sure doubt all you want.

But until then… I remain ultra bullish. 🐂🔥
I’ll ride this beast one more time, from Valhell to Valhalla. ⚡🏰

Mark my words: #XRP will usually melt faces within 4–6 weeks, and history backs it up with evidence. 📊⚡

#XRPFamily STAY STEADY and STRONG💪Together We Rise 🌅 and Soon, We shall Fly So High 🦅
