Mastercard plans to expand its integration with the XRP Ledger to support always-on settlements and time-sensitive intraday payment flows.
The move will leverage the XRP Ledger’s near-instant finality, predictable low fees, and proven 14-year track record.
14 years ago, we got together with an idea to build a better way to move value. What happened next was something none of us could have built alone.
And by "us," I don't just mean the three of us.
I mean the developers, validators, businesses, community members, and everyone who helped shape XRP into what it is today.
Happy Birthday, XRP!

Together with XRPL365 @krisdangerfield and FUD Ltd @daniel_wwf we’re building a complete, well-maintained guide covering all major XRP Ledger node types.
New $XRP report available!
The XRP Ledger is accelerating value capture from from stablecoins, RWAs & ETFs. All enabled by XRP & issued token integrations across the industry.
XRPL security got enhanced with AI, Formal Verification prep & Quantum Readiness roadmap.
State of XRP Q1 2026
Key Update: XRP’s utility continues to grow as XRPL’s feature set expands, particularly for institutional DeFi use cases such as RWAs, stablecoins, and decentralized liquidity. @XRPLF@Ripple
QoQ Metrics📊
• U.S. Spot ETF XRP holdings ⬆️ 2% to $775.4 million XRP (~1.3% of circulating supply)
• RLUSD market cap on XRPL ⬆️ 45% to $340M
• RWA market cap on XRPL ⬆️ 124% to $2.25B (now #4 among all networks)
• Average daily transactions ⬆️ 35% to 2.48M
Ongoing implementation of identity, compliance, and privacy features is also driving value to XRP, as increased institutional adoption on the XRPL means more operations using XRP (reserve requirements, transaction fees, asset bridging, etc.).
Holding $XRP is one thing. Using it is another.

In less than a year, XRP Ledger has climbed from the top 10 to #4 on the @RWA_xyz league table, making it one of the fastest-growing RWA ecosystems in the space.
Today, XRPL is home to a growing range of tokenized financial assets onchain, from U.S. Treasuries and money market funds to commercial paper, structured credit, and more.
Bringing assets onchain is an important milestone. Expanding what those assets can enable across financial markets is part of the broader opportunity ahead, and one the XRP community is building toward together.

The $XRP Ledger is built for the Quantum Era.
It runs on a native account based architecture with built in key rotation.
This allows businesses, projects, and users to seamlessly switch to quantum-resistant signatures while keeping the exact same r-addresses their customers already know and trust.
Lookout for the full audit of the XRP Ledger (network, wallets, and validator layer) by Project Eleven ahead of quantum resistant cryptography deployment.
Progress on post-quantum migration marches forward.
We are announcing our collaboration with @Ripple to advance post-quantum readiness on the XRP Ledger ahead of emerging quantum computing threats.

The XRP family is a global movement.
The community has hosted incredible events around the world this year, and more are coming!

The $XRP Ledger delivers powerful Layer 1 features, natively, out of the box.
Flare is making full use of them:
☀️ Escrow - Time locked XRP for secure Core Vault operations
☀️ Multi-Sig - Support for up to 32 signers on a single account
☀️ Payments - Memo fields + Destination Tags for seamless cross-chain intent data and clear identification of incoming/outgoing transfers.
☀️ Upcoming Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs) and deeper DEX integration
All of this at consistently low cost, with predictable fees and deterministic consensus.
FAssets v1.3 is live on mainnet.
Minting FXRP = one XRPL transaction.
Reserve a destination tag once, and every mint after is just an XRP withdrawal. Works from any exchange — Binance, Kraken, OKX, Upbit, Bithumb, all of them.
Billions of XRP are sitting on CEXs. @FlareNetworks is the only chain that reaches them in one step.
