I have decided to join whistleblower Maria Farmer in the U.S. courts to hold the U.S. accountable for ignoring her 1996 and 2006 reports of Epstein’s crimes to the FBI.
To All Epstein survivors - come join me!
Trump said he wanted a shutdown so that he could destroy government programs and fire Democrats working for the federal government THREE TIMES TODAY ALONE!
This is Donald Trump's shutdown. He wanted it.
Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power.
But health care is a human right.
And in America, we have no kings.
The smartest (and maybe the funniest) person I know. A true OG in crypto with the conviction and vision to see what others couldn’t - you are a legend. Thank you David for everything you’ve done for the industry, for Ripple and for the XRP Ledger. We are all forever grateful… and in awe of your immense impact.
I’m not taking our weekly check-ins off the calendar though… and am glad you won’t be far as you join the Ripple board, continuing to impart your deep crypto wisdom and guidance on what we’re building. Wait...does this mean you’re my boss now!?!
🚨NEW: California Governor @GavinNewsom has announced the launch of the California Breakthrough Project with top leaders from @Ripple, @coinbase, @moonpay and more to “advise and advance government efficiency and collaboration.”
The task force, which met for the first time on June 6 at Ripple’s San Francisco HQ, will also include leaders from @Instacart, @Snapchat, @anduriltech, and others like angel investor @RonConway.
Objectives include:
Understandably, there have been many questions from those who believed they were buying Ripple shares from Linqto, and what happens next. To be clear, on Ripple’s end:
What we know from our records is Linqto owns 4.7M shares of Ripple, solely purchased on the secondary market from other Ripple shareholders (never directly from Ripple).
Apart from Linqto being a shareholder, Ripple has never had a business relationship with Linqto, nor have they participated in our financing rounds. We stopped approving more Linqto purchases on secondary markets in late 2024 amid growing skepticism.
True to our long-standing compliance roots, @Ripple is applying for a national bank charter from the OCC. If approved, we would have both state (via NYDFS) and federal oversight, a new (and unique!) benchmark for trust in the stablecoin market.
Earlier in the week via @StandardCustody, we also applied for a Fed Master account -- while Congress is working towards clear rules and regulations, and banks (in a far cry from the years of Operation Chokepoint 2.0) are leaning in, this access would allow us to hold $RLUSD reserves directly with the Fed and provide an additional layer of security to future proof trust in RLUSD.
Ripple always has and will continue to build trusted, battle-tested and secure infrastructure. In a $250B+ market, RLUSD stands out for putting regulation first, setting the standard that institutions expect.
