Brad Garlinghouse isn't holding back. 🚨 The Ripple CEO just went on Fox Business to call out Jamie Dimon’s pushback on crypto regulation as an "intentional misrepresentation."
“$13 TRILLION in legacy volume, 0% on-chain... yet. 👀”
"Stablecoins are the ChatGPT moment of finance." 💥
He revealed Ripple Treasury handled a massive $13 TRILLION in legacy payments last year and explained why that multi-trillion dollar gap is the ultimate crypto opportunity.
The tides have officially changed. 👇
Ripple and @Bitso are expanding their long-standing payments partnership.
Bitso’s regulated MXN-backed stablecoin, MXNB, will be issued on XRPL and integrated into Ripple’s Payments on DEX infrastructure, supporting enterprise stablecoin settlement across Latin America.
Together, RLUSD and MXNB bring regulated USD and MXN liquidity to XRPL's Permissioned DEX, helping enable real-world enterprise payment flows.

As AI agents begin transacting on behalf of businesses, payments need more than speed. They need trust, controls, and clear rules for how value moves.
We're helping build the infrastructure for trusted agent-driven payments, with the XRP Ledger and $RLUSD helping lay the foundation for the future of commerce.
We're pleased to be part of the ecosystem supporting @Mastercard's Agent Pay for Machines initiative, helping validate new use cases, establish common rules, and accelerate adoption.

markets are in turmoil. people are throwing in the towel.
but before you miss out on the generational run that's coming, read this.
a golden opportunity for the contrarian.
markets sold off friday after a hotter than expected jobs report led people to believe the fed would raise (not lower) rates in 2026.
but if history's anything to go by, the market is wrong. and instead, we're on the verge of a colossal bull run when people expect it the least.
here's why we're approaching the perfect storm for crypto and growth stocks:
- AI / tech advancements are deflationary
despite oil prices spiking over the past year, the yield curve is flattening. this suggests bond markets are pricing in the deflationary effects of AI and tech (AI drives deflation by reducing the costs of production, labor, innovation etc).
- hotter jobs report than expected (172,000 jobs added (vs 85k expected) is good for the economy, not bad
stronger than expected employment is good, not bad. historically, higher productivity and lower labor costs have been indicators of a healthy economy, not an inflationary one.
- geopolitical tensions easing
all signs point towards geopolitical tensions in the middle east easing. once they do, oil prices will plummet, leading to steep deflation (not inflation).
- new fed chair / policy
all the above would give kevin warsh, the newly appointed fed chair, a chance to lower rates and bring back the bull.
the result?
accelerating economic growth, lower inflation and falling rates. the perfect storm to send crypto and high-growth stocks to new all-time highs.
TRUMP AT DAVOS, IN FRONT OF EVERY WORLD LEADER 🇺🇸
Congress is working very hard on crypto market structure legislation which I hope to sign VERY SOON
GENIUS Act already law. Market structure bill next. America is not slowing down
The demand for modern, always-on settlement infrastructure continues to grow.
@Mastercard’s support for $RLUSD and the XRP Ledger reflects growing demand for trusted digital assets and blockchain infrastructure that can power faster, more flexible settlement.
Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re:
✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins
✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows
We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.
24/7 regulated crypto futures and options trading are here through @CMEGroup, and Ripple Prime is a day-one clearing partner.
Institutional demand meets institutional infrastructure.
Built for always-on markets.
The “Anti-Crypto Army” was defeated…
by the courts…
by the voters.
And by Trump.
It never made policy, legal or political sense.
Combatting financial innovation only helped protect those that wanted to keep an old, often broken, system in place.
