Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
Yesterday, I celebrated 11 years at Ripple. Back then, I couldn’t have predicted that we’d still be fighting for regulatory clarity.
The fight has been worth it. After a day in DC having great conversations with @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @SenatorTimScott, @JohnBoozman and @patrickjwitt - and on stage at @Semafor World Economic Summit - I know we are closer than ever.
The CLARITY Act window is open. And now is our moment to act.
XRP was "given" to Ripple. The technology was established in the 1980s.
Influential people (whose names I won't mention; you can research them yourselves) came up with the name XRP and defined its purpose.
It's based on Jesus Christ. XRP is "the chosen one" to "resurrect" the new financial system. All of this was planned decades ago.
"XP" represents the first two Greek letters of "Christos" and is a symbol of Jesus Christ.
The "R" (this is my assumption) in XRP stands for "Resurrect."
David Schwartz was working on the XRPL back in 1988, before blockchain even had a name. Since launching, it’s never been hacked or paused. XRP was always meant to be the ultimate asset.
SWIFT just named four banks as the foundation of their 2026 payments framework. Akbank. ANZ. Axis Bank. Bank Alfalah. Every single one is a confirmed Ripple partner. This isn't coincidence.
What if the future of finance wasn’t just digital, but truly interoperable? Our latest trials show how Swift is helping make that a reality.
We’ve completed pioneering digital asset interoperability trials with leading institutions, including BNP Paribas Securities Services, Intesa Sanpaolo and Societe Generale – FORGE, showcasing how Swift can orchestrate tokenised asset transactions across multiple platforms.
This milestone builds on a broader set of recent trials, such as:
✅ ISO 20022 interoperability between blockchains with HSBC and Ant International
✅ Fiat and digital currency settlement with Citi
✅ Digital asset transaction exchange with Northern Trust and the Reserve Bank of Australia
✅ Bridging tokenised assets with UBS Asset Management and Chainlink Labs
With these trials complete, we’re now adding a blockchain-based ledger to our infrastructure stack to enable real-time, 24/7 cross-border payments, in collaboration with more than 40 global banks.

NEW: @Ripple Prime clients now have access to @Coinbase Derivatives' full contract suite: nano $BTC and $ETH futures, plus $SOL and $XRP contracts, 24/7 in a CFTC-regulated environment.
99% of crypto will either go to zero or be treated like penny stocks. I think 10-30 will be considered blue chips. This is always how it was going to end. With ETHGATE they tried to rig it for only Bitcoin and Ethereum(and ETH based tokens). We won. They lost.
Tokenization changes everything.
Oil. Gold. Silver. Stocks. Bonds. ETFs.
The most important assets are coming onchain, making access global by default.
🚨 BREAKING: This is MASSIVE news for Alts...
Morgan Stanley is going all-in on Crypto - and they like $XRP over Bitcoin.
Morgan Stanley just applied for a national trust bank charter to custody Bitcoin and crypto assets.
This is a Wall Street giant applying to custody crypto directly - and Facilitate client buys and swaps for their 18 million clients.
And zoom out.
Morgan Stanley has previously stated:
“Morgan Stanley considers Ripple to be a leading international payment alternative to SWIFT.”
Internal documentation has also noted that XRP’s system is more efficient than Bitcoin and closer to how traditional banks operate today.
Now connect the dots:
- Citi building infrastructure.
- Morgan Stanley applying for custody rails.
- Clarity Act approaching.
This is how trillions enter.
We're on the cusp of the biggest breakout Crypto's ever seen and it's coming for Utility this time.

With today’s close of Hidden Road (now Ripple Prime), Ripple has announced 5 major acquisitions in ~2 years (GTreasury last week, Rail in August, Standard Custody in 2024, Metaco in 2023). As we continue to build solutions towards enabling an Internet of Value – I’m reminding you all that XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does. Lock in.
🔥Recent research from our team reveals something big is brewing off the soon-to-be heels of the Clarity Act with Ripple and $XRP $RLUSD - hidden in plain sight. This could be the Ripple team's biggest bombshell yet. Will air more on this next week. Lock In $XRP
