Happy belated New Year! I just hit send on Ripple’s quarterly shareholder email. To say that 2025 (and Q4) were successful for Ripple feels like saying @TomBrady was just a great quarterback!! (#theGOAT)
Our two major acquisitions - Ripple Prime and GTreasury - greatly accelerate and expand our ability to deliver on our vision, enabling the Internet of Value. XRP has been (and will continue to be) the heartbeat of that vision.
With truly the most comprehensive licensing portfolio (and now today UK’s EMI license added) we are poised to make 2026 even more consequential.
Building and using crypto infrastructure, updating our global financial plumbing, and rethinking legacy systems – none of this happens overnight. At Ripple, we’re going to continue taking the long view of what crypto-based assets – like XRP and RLUSD – can do, rather than chasing cycles and hype.
Bring on 2026. We are firing on all cylinders. It’s happening!
I would advise people to stay at their job. Time to get all set. Knowing that they have money will make the task less difficult. And it's better than just quitting their job without being ready - again, many will post everything pretty fast if they don't do what's necessary

589. What a beautiful number. That one number which has been spoken about since it first debuted like a cobalt blue shooting star flying at the speed of light, has brought about a great discussion inside and outside the XRP community. That number has so many meanings and reasons behind it. That number, that one breadcrumb, has led to so many discoveries about what XRP is now and what it can become. 589 is a code for what was getting ready to happen at the end of the year. 589 is the Comex rule. 589 are the Nostro/Vostro accounts unleashed. 589 is hope and knowledge. Since there is no regulatory clarity at this time, the price of XRP is being held back. This is no accident, so don't get tricked and get a case of weak hands.
Brad has said that the process itself has been slower than what he expected or wished for. Well, when it comes to governments, it will be.
Don't let anyone try to bring you down thinking that being positive and having a positive outlook on XRP, its price, and Ripple is a bad thing. The best thing to do is to have people discussing XRP and Ripple. As soon as people start looking into what Ripple and XRP can do, they realize the future of cross-border payments, and internet commerce, is something that Ripple is involved with and leading the charge. Yes, the die is cast and everyone is taking notice. Brian, David, the rest of the team; they are all family. I see the hard work that these guys do day after day. What other cryptocurrency out there has a new story almost every day in the news? Bitcoin may have a story once every few days. Ripple is always in the news, always in the mind's eye of the financial world, always in conversations in the white halls of power when it comes to funds and new technology. JK. Ripple is the one leading the army and crossing the Rubicon. I believe in this company. I believe in the technology. I believe that this company can change people's lives. What other coin has a powerful team like Ripple behind them? None. The Ripple team are resolute in their quest to change the world and we're all watching and living it live. All in front of us on our TV screens, computer screens, and phones. We see Ripple changing the world.
And most importantly : start YOUR future.
At the beginning of a new year, people make decisions and usually give up pretty fast.
What did you do last year that makes you proud?
