The next era of UBRI is here.

The University Blockchain Research Initiative is expanding academic commitment with three powerful moves: https://t.co/clecsaQ6Px

→ Advisory Council Launch: Featuring @JoelKatz and leading cryptographers from partner universities to advance onchain research and use cases.

→ Partnering with @usfca: Exploring how blockchain solutions can be applied to public service and law.

→ $RLUSD Innovation: Funding over $1.5M in renewed UBRI grants entirely in Ripple USD, our USD-backed stablecoin.

This is how we're bridging the gap between research and utility.
