Waiting for a ride on the XRPL superhighway. And the scenic route on Xahau with 🪝🪝 is getting exciting, too. ✌

@JoelKatz Red is the only rational answer here. There is no goal for the group communicated, and Blue button pressers seem to assume that 'mostly rational' is to keep the status quo (with all the labels traitor, selfish, etc) which aims for equilibrium - which in thermodynamics is death.

The new https://t.co/VQ2jDJ7Ojg site is here.

Fresh design, updated roadmap, and a clearer vision for what’s next on Xahau.

[StarGate @StarG8Sensei]

@XahauNetwork Is there a plan to update Xahau roadmap? The first quarter of 2026 is behind us. And I'm curious what's done and what's coming. ✌️

@WietseWind @XRPLWin @MersudinHalilo1 @Spec_0p @XamanWallet You must get some rest @WietseWind . Have your team member cover. We all need your brain and body to be sharp. ✌️

[StarGate @StarG8Sensei]

@ChartNerdTA No XRP has been minted. Fix your post, please. You probably meant FXRP or something. ✌️

[StarGate @StarG8Sensei]

@jungleincxrp Good article. 👍
But kind of misleading headline. I almost purposefully ignored it thinking it was another whiny post. You might want to add a question mark at the end of the title. ✌️

[StarGate @StarG8Sensei]

@Cryptoinsightuk I hope @WietseWind doesn't waste too much energy on the whining. I've followed him from the start. One of the most transparent guys. Free was never on the table. Yes, @XamanWallet team keeps adapting their offer to make the business viable. If you don't like it, move on. ✌️

@CoreumOfficial What about XCORE token? Will it also be exchanged 1:1?

[StarGate @StarG8Sensei]

@paulbarron 😆 just approved? The 🇨🇿 legislation took effect early last year. But the clarity and tax dominoes across the pond still stand. Do something because the eastern hemisphere is not going to wait for too long.

[StarGate @StarG8Sensei]

@WietseWind @X This is great news! I still have the old @xrptipbot app on my phone. 😆 I delete apps regularly, but this one was special. I look forward to the new dawn for xrpTipBot ✌️

@ZachRector7 Liquid gold!

@Hodor @Silkjaer ...where even those who are not tech savvy will be able to pick the function they wish and apply it to their XAH account/ wallet. Or am I naive, and hook application will always be hidden behind in the back office?

[StarGate @StarG8Sensei]

@Hodor @Silkjaer Nice article. You use the analogy of looking at different watches. I see such a store more as an application store. Remembering the transition to smartphones and the few apps available in app stores, I can imagine one day a hook store ..

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

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!

@Vet_X0 A hammer candle in production. The inevitable is coming.

[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.

Inclusion is not theory. It's action.

Fair access, resilient communities, and opportunities for young people can’t wait.

Our note outlines how @XahauNetwork provides the rails for change, and why our independence matters:
